What Is Cloud Migration?

SysAid’s Glossary of Terms

  • Overview

    Cloud migration is the process of moving digital assets, applications, and workloads from on-premises infrastructure to a cloud environment—public, private, or hybrid. In IT service management (ITSM), cloud migration often means modernizing service desk operations, improving scalability, and unlocking advanced tools likeAI service management.

  • How Does Cloud Migration Work?

    The migration journey usually starts with assessing current systems, defining business goals, and choosing the right deployment model. From there, IT teams plan which workloads to move, test integrations, and execute in phases to minimize disruption. Modern platforms also use automation and orchestration to streamline the process, ensuring data security, compliance, and service continuity.

  • Why Is Cloud Migration Important?

    Migrating to the cloud delivers several benefits:

    • Scalability: IT can easily adapt resources to demand.

    • Cost optimization: Less reliance on hardware and lower maintenance costs.

    • Agility: Faster deployment of services and updates.

    • Resilience: Built-in redundancy reduces downtime risk.

    At the same time, organizations must manage challenges like data governance, legacy compatibility, and employee adoption. For ITSM teams, success means balancing agility with control—making sure service level management commitments are met throughout the transition.
