Your essential cloud migration strategy checklist

Everyone’s heard of the cloud. But do you know what it is?

It’s likely you already use it in your personal life, perhaps to store digital photos and documents, or even for backing up your phone. When you access something in the cloud it means you are accessing information or using an application that’s on someone else’s servers. Typically these are in huge buildings placed around the world. It means you can access anything from anywhere on any device.

It’s fast, easy and secure.
