The Industrial Internet of Things, or IIoT, marks a phase shift in management of physical productivity. It’s sometimes referred to as the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0 (in nomenclature that clearly owes much to web terminology).

Software launching requires strategy, but strategy alone is not enough. There must also be a system to match up strategy with day-to-day activity, managing development and launch as a project. This must be sufficiently adaptable as to function as a constantly-revised, living document, not a series of instructions that cease to be relevant as products evolve and plans change.
Some businesses are moving data from legacy systems to the cloud. Some are moving from on-site servers to other on-site servers, or between cloud implementations. It’s sometimes necessary to migrate data between applications, as business processes change and stacks change with them. One thing is certain: most businesses will do a data migration. When they do, it will be fraught with risks — both as it’s done, and afterward when you try to run your company on the results.
Cloud computing is rapidly becoming ubiquitous. The change is driven by a spread of unarguable advantages, ranging from speed through security to access and user experience. Underlying these benefits are the facts of cloud computing: remote hosting and as-a-service implementations of everything from software to infrastructure means you hire out tasks to experts, instead of trying to build an in-house team that can compete with Salesforce and Microsoft and Amazon Web Services.
The hiring process for software engineers is complex and time-consuming. At the end of it, your company has a new hire with high salary expectations who might take several months to reach full productivity. You could spend many hours and thousands of dollars for each addition to your team, only to find they’re a bad fit — or even that they want to move roles again.
Cloud migration involves moving data, applications and processes to the cloud. This can be from on-site implementations like owned servers, or from another cloud host. Moving to the cloud can be daunting, especially if you haven’t made the transition before. Even if you’re familiar with cloud computing, planning and executing a migration still requires forethought and strategic, as well as technical, consideration.
