- Cloud migration when done right can reduce up to 50% costs
- Microsoft’s BPGI partners leverage Microsoft resources to help businesses stay connected and migrate securely
Businesses have huge databases and are increasingly looking for on-demand storage. With time, they will need to scale and that’s where cloud computing comes in. And while cloud computing has all the benefits from easy access to scalability, it is imperative that sensitive information is protected against breaches, unauthorized access, and data loss which cost businesses $4.88 million. Microsoft’s (MSFT +2.06%) BPGI partners–IntelligIS CEO Marcus Wilson, BizTech Fusion CEO Xadean Ahmasi and ECF Data CEO Joseph Henderson ensure that organizations are not just connected but are also protected and prepared.
Why This Matters: Cloud migration involves moving your digital infrastructure to the cloud. With this comes greater responsibilities because you’ll be retiring some of your apps and restructuring some. Shifting your entire organization is no small feat and any mistake could have major financial implications. CEOs like Joseph Henderson of ECF Data are at the forefront of ensuring cloud migration is a well-orchestrated move with mitigated risks. Henderson’s company leverages AI to counter emerging threats.
He said, ‘We’ve been doing a lot of AI projects to help transform organizations by using application development that we wrap with Microsoft Azure Open AI products to help facilitate growth in various areas.’ The results are clear because Amazon’s migration evaluator reckons that businesses can reduce costs by up to 50% through effective cloud migration decisions.
While a planned move is the first step, other CEOs like Marcus of IntelligIS is keen on walking his clients through the much-needed security solutions to get it right and not just the first time but all through. Wilson said, ‘Education, Internal education to our team is key and educating our clients is key…because nothing is bullet-proof.’ With 55% of cloud data breaches attributed to human error, he believes that there are always gaps in the system and only through continuous education will there be continuous improvement.
Once you’ve got the move right and empowered the team, it is time to scale. Moving onto the next stage comes with stricter rules and regulations but no worries because BizTech Fusion is here to hold your hand. Xadean said, ‘Any industry that deals with vast amounts of complex non-linear data that demands integration like bio-tech, day trading and sports betting, we make sure that it’s optimized for companies to enhance their productivity.’ By ensuring compliance and securing sensitive data for seamless integration, enhanced productivity is the only possible outcome.
What’s Next: The global IT security market is projected to reach $578.2 billion by 2033 which not only highlights the growing demand for secure digital infrastructure but also the critical role that AI-powered cloud solutions will play in helping businesses scale safely, maintain compliance, and stay resilient amid evolving threats and increasingly stringent data regulations. But just how many businesses are making it a priority? The future belongs to those who can embrace innovation and cloud migration, when done right, lays the foundation for smarter, safer, and more scalable growth.
