Transforming Legacy Infrastructure: A Successful On-Premises to Cloud Migration Journey with IOPS.TEAM

Challenges Faced:

1. Lack of Documentation

Our client, a prominent enterprise in the manufacturing sector, approached IOPS.TEAM had a significant challenge – its legacy infrastructure lacked comprehensive documentation. Years of accumulated systems and applications were poorly documented, making it a daunting task to understand the intricacies of their on-premises setup.
