Migrating business systems from on-premise to the cloud can seem like a challenging process. However, PROCOM offers business systems transformation service on Oracle cloud offering enterprise software solutions and providing a secure, scalable and flexible platform for a smooth transition. Here I present the 10 recommendations for a successful business migration from on-premise systems to cloud systems. PROCOM on Oracle Cloud:

  1. Identify the systems to migrate: Before starting you can ask the personnel of PROCOM support to carry out the initial tasks, it is important to identify business-critical systems and evaluate whether they are ready to migrate to the cloud or if they should switch to cloud solutions. PROCOM. Complete migration of all systems may not be necessary initially, so it is essential to prioritize the systems that will be moved to the cloud, and the data transfer process that will be carried out, as well as a timeline of the process and the respective responsible parties.
  2. Evaluate the cloud requirements: It is essential to evaluate the cloud requirements to determine the configuration to implement in aspects such as backups, security, redundancy, among others. This will ensure that migrated systems function correctly in the cloud and will allow future growth and budget to be aligned within the migration plan.
  3. Design a migration strategy: A well-planned migration strategy is essential to ensure a smooth migration. The strategy should include the migration sequence, timelines, and testing necessary to minimize the impact on the business. PROCOM has a lot of experience carrying out this type of migrations for its own solutions or partner solutions.
  4. Establish a team of migration: It is essential to establish a dedicated migration team to carry out cloud migration. The team should include IT personnel with experience in the Oracle Cloud platform and the systems to be migrated. If your team does not have personnel for these tasks, in PROCOM we can help you.
  5. Perform extensive testing: Migrating critical systems can have a significant impact on the business. Therefore, it is essential to perform extensive testing to ensure that everything is working correctly before deploying the migrated systems to production. We recommend always carrying out a “dry run” before making the official production pass.
  6. Guarantees security: Security is essential in any cloud migration. It is important to ensure that migrated systems meet Oracle Cloud security and compliance standards. Our consulting team can advise you on best practices to make your migration successful.
  7. Use automated migration tools: Automated migration tools can speed up the migration process and reduce errors. Oracle Cloud offers a variety of automated tools to assist with migration.
  8. Ensure good connectivity: Connectivity between cloud systems and on-premises systems is critical for successful migration. Ensure connectivity is good and cloud systems can access on-premises systems as needed. PROCOM offers you enterprise VPN services to ensure data privacy between your peripheral sites and centralized cloud systems.
  9. Train staff: Training is essential to ensure that IT staff and end users understand how migrated systems work in the cloud. Training should cover all aspects of the migration, from access to systems, change management, security, to the use of new features.

  10. Track and Monitor: Once systems have been migrated to the cloud, it is important to continuously track and monitor to ensure that everything is working properly. This may include monitoring performance, identifying problems, and applying solutions. The support team PROCOM is available from L to D to provide you with support during the process.
