And while there’s a stack of benefits and reasons to migrate to the cloud - a number of factors also need to be considered: Cost, resourcing, expertise, downtime, and data security.  

Let’s demystify the process and highlight what every organisation should know before making the leap.  

Why Cloud Migration Matters

Moving to the cloud allows organisations to:  

• Scale Operations Effortlessly: Adapt resources as your business grows.  
• Enable Remote Work: Provide secure access to data from anywhere.  
• Improve Data Security: Leverage the latest in cloud security protocols.  
• Reduce Costs: Eliminate the need for expensive on-premise infrastructure.  

‍Challenges of Cloud Migrations‍

1. Data Integrity: Ensuring all data is migrated without loss or corruption.  

2. Downtime Risks: Minimising operational disruptions during the transition.  

3. Change Management: Helping teams adapt to new systems and workflows.  

4. Compliance: Meeting industry-specific regulations for data privacy and security.  ‍

What to Consider Before Migration‍‍

1. Assess Your Current Environment‍

Start by understanding your existing infrastructure. What are your current challenges? Which applications and data sources are mission-critical?  

‍2. Set Clear Objectives‍

Define what success looks like. Are you aiming to reduce costs, improve accessibility, or boost security? Clear goals will shape your migration strategy.  

‍3. Choose the Right Cloud Platform ‍

Select a platform that aligns with your needs. For example, Notitia has implemented Qlik Cloud Analytics (formally known as Qlik Sense SaaS) for clients like SWSPHN and Fyna Foods, offering scalable and secure analytics solutions.   ‍

4. Partner with Experts  

Cloud migrations can be complex. Collaborating with a team like Notitia ensures your migration is seamless and tailored to your organisation’s needs.  ‍

Lessons from Notitia’s Cloud Migration Projects‍‍

SWSPHN: Enhancing Healthcare Reporting: South Western Sydney PHN transitioned from on-premise Qlik Sense to Qlik Cloud Analytics to reduce costs and improve reporting efficiency. Notitia ensured a smooth migration, empowering their team with real-time insights and automated reporting tools.  ‍

How to Make Your Cloud Migration Seamless ‍

2. Test Before You Go Live: Conduct thorough testing to ensure your systems and data are functioning as expected.  
3. Train Your Team: Provide training on new tools and workflows to ensure a smooth transition.
