Digital Transformation at Speed
Digital Transformation at Speed
Covid-19 is the wrecking ball on the C-suite’s reluctance to embark upon digital transformation. With many people now working from home, there has been a massive uptick in cloud adoption. Many businesses were unprepared for this. Of course, a jump into cloud now is better than the business failing, but when the dust settles it is probably worth a look at what you signed up for.
You should review the contract to check the following:
Check the Service Level Agreement. Does it do what you need it to? Are there service credits and are they worth the bother?
Does a move to cloud mean you lose control over how you deploy your IT? What happens to your IT staff?
Data. Where is it stored? Is it secure? Whose responsibility is that? Is it backed-up? What’s the provider’s stance on GDPR?
How long is the contract term? Can you end the contract after the lockdown? Can the provider even if you’re not ready? Can you migrate back in-house or to another provider?
