Cloud migrations can fail for a variety of reasons, such as a cloud strategy that isn’t aligned with business goals, cultural resistance or lack of a viable cloud security plan. Managing these migration risks is the focus of a free online course presented by training company Logical Operations Inc., in partnership with IDG Enterprise.

In three video sessions, you’ll learn how to:

  • Create a migration plan that avoids a variety of problems that could lead to failure.
  • Assemble a cloud project team (including an executive sponsor) and use collaboration tools to help the far-flung team work together.
  • Identify the cloud project’s business goals and key performance indicators.

It’s a timely topic: A recent IDG Enterprise survey found that companies anticipate having 60 percent of their total IT environment in public, private and hybrid clouds by 2018.
