Transitioning your business to a hybrid cloud environment can take time – whether you’re selling books or healthcare. If you work in the healthcare industry, continue reading below for three main questions to ask before you make this transition to ensure the smoothest possible migration.
Why are you choosing to implement a hybrid cloud?
Regardless of whether you’re running hardware- or software-based technology, there’s a set of conditions as to why your business needs new technology. Before diving headlong into an implementation, it’s best to have a strong understanding of your business’s needs.
What do you hope to achieve by this hybrid cloud implementation?
Now that you have a firm grasp of why you want to implement a hybrid cloud, you can focus on deciding the goals your practice wants to achieve from your transition.
Are your stakeholders involved?
Given the nature of how cloud computing works (it’s ready-to-install for the most part), there is often not enough chances for participation to go around. This means that some feel that IT specialists or other experts may not be needed to review every aspect of a contract or even be required to understand it.
However, this is false.
You need to ensure that all the key stakeholder members have knowledge of your contractual information and have ample chance for providing input.
