Cloud computing is rapidly changing from a buzzword to an IT practice. It is transforming the way businesses operate forever.

By placing your business-critical applications in the cloud, you’re benefiting from the flexibility to scale up or down according to rapidly changing business needs. You’re also reducing capital expenditures on additional hardware and lowering costs by only paying for the services you use. You can take full advantage of the agility, automation, resource sharing, and other best practices that cloud computing has to offer.

Sounds simple enough. But before you realize those benefits, you first have to move your applications from the legacy infrastructure into either a hosted, private, or public cloud. That means security has to meet corporate governance and compliance demands.  It also means you need to ensure that your cloud-based applications are integrated effectively with legacy systems.

So how do you go about successfully deploying and managing those applications onto your new infrastructure without adversely impacting your IT personnel? What happens to your strategic business objectives while they’re working on the cloud?
