Cloud migration services aid in the process of moving data, product applications, and other business management documents from on-premise servers to a cloud computing environment. Cloud migration services are used to move data and applications to a more effective and secure environment than on-premise servers. Organizations also migrate services to the cloud to cut costs, free up server space, and cut down on hardware maintenance. Cloud migration services are most commonly implemented by IT management groups and often integrate with entire classes of software such as enterprise content management (ECM).
To qualify for inclusion in the Cloud Migration Services category, a services provider must:
Assist with the migration of large numbers of files and various file types to the cloud
Provide data security tools, backup assistance, or integration with backup software to keep files safe during migration
Sync applications with cloud storage systems
