CCT’s Cloud-First Strategy
What Is a Cloud-First Strategy?
Cloud entails software solutions created specifically to make the most of the latest cloud computing infrastructure. These solutions run on the back of hosting providers (e.g., Amazon, Azure) to maximize results.
A cloud-first application or service is not one that is migrated to the cloud or created via an update. Instead, such an application or service is designed from scratch by keeping the cloud in focus.
Developers of cloud-first applications and services possess in-depth knowledge about the moving pieces behind the scene that are replicating and syncing data. This is why these designs are more tolerant to the database syncing and carry a smaller assembly footprint. In short, the cloud-first approach allows businesses to accommodate new technology more effectively and efficiently.
Cloud-first services and applications are known for their performance and stability, which are often superior to the traditional ones.

The Dilemma
Today, cloud adoption has peaked. Although every business is utilizing the cloud, it is only used for resolving specific IT issues. This holds them back from generating the maximum value out of the cloud.
A cloud-first strategy can allow you to put cloud technology at the core of the business strategy. This groundbreaking approach revamps traditional methods. Business processes receive a much-needed boost and enterprise-scale organizations can finally move with the agility of a forward-thinking startup.
CCT’s Approach
We build and show an overview of how technology can assist in reaching business objectives. This is done by aligning the role of IT departments to support your company’s journey in the long run.
Whether your company is already utilizing the cloud or starting to consider a cloud-first strategy, we provide assistance to teams with cloud migration at an enterprise scale by unraveling the tangible benefits it will bring to the table.
Our cloud-first strategy empowers businesses to eliminate existing pain points usually found in such moves. At the same time, we will help you visualize and develop a plan on how a cloud-first technology can create game-changing outcomes for your organization.

Transforming for Innovation, Sustainability and Security
The Six-Point Strategy
Once you partner with CCT, we will take you through a series of stages to implement a cloud-first strategy.
1. Assessment
We help evaluate the impact of embracing a cloud-first strategy on your architecture, cost, and security. If the assessment’s output ensures that your business can quickly adopt this approach, we move to the next stage.
2. Proof of Concept
We help perform a pilot run of a cloud-first strategy that is tailored to address your needs. You can take some time to get your team familiar with it and earn their support.
3. Data Migration
We help leverage plenty of available data storage options to determine a secure solution that meets your budget range. Once you are confident about the data security measures, we can migrate your data to the cloud in no time.
4. Application Migration
We help you come to a decision on which kind of migration is ideal for your bottom line. Sometimes, a hybrid strategy is ideal where some on-premises components are moved to the cloud, while the remaining ones are run by your servers. Or, sometimes, a forklift strategy is better where you lift everything into the cloud servers. We have experience with all of these strategies and can recommend which one is the best for you.
5. Leveraging Cloud
We help leverage the flexibility and tools provided by the cloud environment to automate and auto-scale your business functions. Our cloud services offer higher scalability and elasticity to maximize benefits for your organization.
6. Optimization
We help modify and optimize your cloud infrastructure to ensure that the available resources are utilized optimally. By conducting performance monitoring, we perform anomaly detection regularly and re-engineer modules that have failed to take advantage of cloud computing.
Transforming for Innovation and Sustainability securing future competitive advantage
Benefits Of CCT’s Cloud-First Strategy
CCT’s cloud-first strategy can empower businesses to unlock a host of advantages by taking their tools and operations to the cloud.
Flexibility
As soon as your tools start working in the cloud, an instant realization dawns: they are more flexible than ever. There is no need for any rebuilding as you can easily expand or replicate the scale of cloud-based deployments, reusing them for new users. This saves you from making any adjustments to physical infrastructure for supporting the expansion.
Cost Reduction
Sometimes the cloud may seem costlier in the initial stages, but overall, it delivers a lower cost of ownership. As a result, you can store huge amounts of data in the cloud for almost free. Similarly, running workstations and servers in the cloud are more affordable than in-house hosting.
Predictable Costs
With a cloud-first strategy, you have it easy – paying only a fixed rate on a monthly basis. Hence, your costs are predictable, which is not possible when you manage on-premises infrastructure.

Faster Setup
With CCT’s cloud-first strategy, you can deploy different types of cloud-based tools immediately. There is no time spent in hosting infrastructure or setting up an environment.
Reliability
Compared to on-premises tech stacks, the cloud is usually more dependable and minimizes the risk of downtime. This increases your productivity and, in turn, boosts revenues.

Cloud providers invest heavily in security, providing robust security measures that most companies couldn’t achieve on their own. They offer encrypted data storage, multi-factor authentication, and regular security updates: contributing significantly to data protection.
Necessity for each legacy system to be transitioned to the cloud is evaluated individually. In some cases, rehosting, refactoring, or replacing the system occurs, while in others, retaining or retiring the legacy system could make more sense.
Not necessarily. While the strategy prioritizes cloud solutions, the decision to move data and applications is based on business needs, potential benefits, and the nature of the data or application.
While there are many benefits, risks can include potential data breaches, loss of data control, and dependency on provider’s services. However, with careful planning, these risks can be effectively managed.
