The Strategic Guide to Cloud Migration on AWS.

Overcoming Common Hurdles to Unlock Real Business Value

The conversation is no longer about if you should move to the cloud, but how to do it strategically. A simple "lift and shift" often leads to budget overruns, operational disruptions, and a failure to realize the true benefits of AWS. This strategic guide is designed for leaders who want to avoid those pitfalls. Inside, you’ll discover how to navigate the most common migration hurdles and leverage the proven AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) framework.
