Cloud has been the biggest accelerator of digital and business transformation for enterprises in the new paradigm. Organizations are extensively leveraging the cloud, not just for reducing their on-premises footprint and the associated cost, but also to grow into more agile, connected, and data-driven entities. Migrating critical business systems successfully and seamlessly to the cloud is the biggest milestone in this journey.
