Which applications should I migrate to the cloud?
Go to the business question What are our cloud focus areas? > Focus Area Portfolio Analysis:
- Review the applications in the Focus Area quadrant. These applications are typically good migration candidates that may be potentially beneficial to keep in the application portfolio.
- Review the applications in the Quick Wins quadrant. This quadrant contains all the applications that are potentially suited for migration and could be easily migrated but have a lower potential value.
- Don't ignore the applications in the Long-Term Bets quadrant. These applications are usually associated with operational activities in the organization and migrating them could be part of the company’s long-term strategy.
Consider redefining the Cloud Migration Strategy attribute for orange-colored applications that are positioned in the Focus Area or Quick Wins quadrants. These are applications with the cloud migration strategy set to Retain/Retire but their indicator scores indicate that they should be considered for migration to the cloud. To change the Cloud Migration Strategy attribute:
- Click the caption Applications by Focus Areas to drill down to the view.
- Click in the header of the Cloud Migration Strategy column and filter the data for Retain/Retire.
- For applications with a bubble in the Focus Area or Quick Wins column, click the navigate button to open the content area of the application.
- Go to the Overview page and edit the Cloud Migration Strategy attribute.
