The biggest blunders in cloud migrations
(and how we help prevent them)
Cloud migrations often seem simple: “We put it in the cloud and done.” But in practice, we at ALTA-ICT see that a lot can go wrong. That can lead to higher costs, frustration and risks to continuity.
We share below the most common pitfalls we encounter – and how we help companies avoid them.
❌
Blunder 1: No good inventory
Without a full understanding of your IT landscape, applications or data are forgotten or migrated incorrectly.
💡 How we help: ALTA-ICT starts every migration with a thorough inventory and dependency analysis.
❌
Blunder 2: Arranging security only after the fact
Security is often overlooked during migration, with all the risks that entails.
💡 How we help: Security and compliance are integrated into our approach from design (ISO 27001, NEN 7510).
❌
Blunder 3: No fallback plan
Without a rollback option, a small failure can have major consequences.
💡 How we help: We always provide a tested fallback plan so you can migrate with peace of mind.
❌
Blunder 4: Overestimating internal capacity
Cloud migrations are a craft; it requires specialized knowledge.
💡 How we help: Our experts guide the entire process, from planning to execution.
❌
Blunder 5: forgetting about end users
A successful migration is also an adoption journey.
💡 How we help: We support with communication, training and guidance.
