Cloud Strategy

With AppsShop you can get your cloud planning right. The Cloud Readiness Assessment (CRA) delivers an unbiased appraisal of an organization’s current readiness to adopt cloud computing. The CRA is delivered as Software as a Service enabling teams of people to work efficiently together to assess the current position.

AppsShop’s Cloud Readiness Assessment services help to quickly determine how easily an organization could adopt a cloud based backup and recovery solution.
With cloud readiness assessment your company can explore the advantages of next generation cloud based data protection services.
It helps in analyzing business needs and also make sure they align with the new cloud based data protection strategy.
It helps in smooth transition from the current solution to a next generation cloud strategy.
Our CRA assists an organization to understand those things that condition its readiness and preparedness to introduce cloud computing.
With cloud readiness assessment organizations are able to identify sensitive or regulated content and notify key stakeholders including compliance officers, company executives, and administrators of any at-risk content. Once the initial assessment is complete, a best practices approach is outlined to separate regulated and non-regulated content or workloads, and subsequently migrate appropriate content to the cloud.
When plans to move to a public cloud solution policy have begun, the next step is to have a consultation and the CRA is the way to engage those people that will be involved in that consultation.
It allows people to express with anonymity their knowledge and opinions about cloud computing (however obtained); these will ultimately shape the resulting plans and the likely success of those plans. It is a baseline to know where there is consensus and dissonance across a range of subject areas that are subject to scrutiny with the adoption of public cloud solutions. This positively helps move the organization move from ‘thought to action’ based on a better understanding of its current competencies to adopt public cloud solutions.
