Optimizing costs in the present, and planning for a more agile and scalable future in the cloud For many businesses, the impact of COVID-19 has brought the benefits and limitations of their IT landscape into stark focus. As these businesses plan their way forward, many will need to consider how to meet the needs of their new business realities with limited resources. This is a challenge ideally suited for IT—particularly at businesses overly reliant on legacy infrastructure. A recent McKinsey study1 found that these legacy systems account for 74% of a company’s IT spend while hampering agility at the same time. Making fundamental IT changes like migrating on-premises workloads to the cloud can reduce costs, increase agility, and pay ROI dividends down the line. These modernization tasks will likely look different for businesses of varying sizes, in varying industries. The options that cloud offers will let you migrate flexibly, on your timeline, whether you’re starting with VMs, your data warehouse, or the entire mainframe.
