Any application can be moved to the Google Cloud - but some are better suited to this than others. Resource-intensive systems, such as big data processing, may need to be restructured to achieve full efficiency. Workloads with multiple dependencies may also need to be redesigned to be more cloud-friendly.

Most importantly, no lift-and-shift migration should be undertaken without fully understanding the security and compliance implications. We work with you to develop the landing zone to ensure that all platform resources required to support the application portfolio are accounted for. For this reason, many companies choose to work with an experienced IT partner who can ensure that the applications are cloud-ready and that a solid foundation based on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS) is guaranteed during the transition.
