More companies are choosing to migrate from on-premise to the cloud for various reasons. This shift in dynamic entails more than flipping a switch. During our recent migration, we learned many of the lessons about what it takes to "go cloud" and want to share our successes and help others avoid the pitfalls in which we found ourselves ensnared. We will cover reasons for choosing to migrate to the Cloud, planning for the migration, provisioning servers, setting up and configuring VPN/VTI/SMTP, configuring the CA Cloud Portal, importing content, leveraging Motio-CI for testing-versioning and migration, how we handled user testing and training, the differences between Windows and Linux installations that we encountered and "lessons learned".
