Enterprise Connect Orlando 2023
27 to 30 March 2023 |
On Monday, March 27th TC2's Joe Schmidt returned as a featured presenter at the Enterprise Connect 2023 conference.
Managing a large-scale migration is complex in scale, governance, corporate decision-making, and meeting user needs and regional requirements. The timeline can stretch beyond anticipation and stakeholders find themselves outmatched by the task at hand.
Joe Schmidt in his session “Top 7 Mistakes to Avoid in a Global Cloud Migration”, with plenty of professional experience and strategy, addressed the mistakes most likely to cause serious problems in your migration to the cloud, and offer advice on how best to avoid or mitigate these pitfalls – equipping you to better keep your project on schedule and within budget and scope.
Takeaways:
Challenges arising from a complex enterprise environment for cloud and communications (e.g., issues with procurement organizations; contractual and scheduling commitments, broader strategies for the cloud beyond just communications; varying levels of understanding from non-communications executives within the enterprise)
Challenges arising from migrating your service in multiple global regions concurrently
Challenges arising from legacy voice issues that current teams may not be familiar with
Issues to monitor in execution of the project on the part of MSPs, SIs, and service providers
