Cloud Migration Checklist
Rehost, replatform, refactor, rebuild — choose deliberately.
“Every enterprise cloud migration story has the same plot twist: halfway through, the leadership realises the real problem was never on-prem. It was the applications themselves.”
The Insight
Cloud migration is four different projects pretending to be one: rehost, replatform, refactor, rebuild. Each has a different ROI, time horizon, and risk profile. Most enterprises apply the same strategy to every application and end up with a bad version of three outcomes at once.
01
Rehost and Replatform
02
Refactor and Rebuild
03
Portfolio Planning
The Takeaway
Classify every app. Choose R deliberately. Sequence by strategic priority. The cloud migration that delivers is portfolio-driven, not one-size-fits-all.
