Why the crabs? We\u2019re doing a lot of cloud migrations lately. Often the push is to \u2018go Cloud\u2019, sometimes with only \u2018Savings\u2019 in mind (this is not the sole reason to go to the cloud, companies are seriously missing the point when they do this). So folks are in a rush, thinking about savings and thinking the journey is easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What they so easily forget is they are moving away from years, if not decades of undocumented decisions, processes and systems on their old servers and stuff. All manner of sins and decisions were previously that are about to be surfaced, like crabs that scurry out from under a rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, we work with the client to capture and correct those little surprises and turn them into permanent, modern improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the customer needs to recognize they exist, will occur and should accommodate for that \u2026 Or, they should just stay where they are and hope the future doesn\u2019t pass them by too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
