CloudM’s data migration tool is designed to be user-friendly and to give customers the best experience if they decide to tackle migrations on their own. However, there are many circumstances in which your migration needs a higher level of expert support, and that’s where our white-glove data migration services come in. Craig Fegan, CloudM’s Professional Services Manager, answers some common questions about serviced migrations.

What types of organizations usually opt for CloudM’s migration services?

Serviced migrations are ideal for any scale of business. At one end, there are small businesses that don’t have IT teams, confidence or technical expertise. These businesses are mindful of their budget, but while managing their own migration may save money, it risks complications which could prove costly in the long run.

At the other end of the scale are larger companies which may well have in-house teams. However, if they’re migrating a lot of data and a lot of users, that opens up more risk because there are so many moving parts and technical nuances that could impact end user experience, from their chosen cloud platform to an unavoidable API, which could impact end user experience. They understand they need our expert help with this.
