Craft a Cloud Strategy for the Enterprise Database
There’s no cloud. There’s just the database.
Book This Workshop
Failing to plan for a cloud database deployment will cost you:
- Unanticipated challenges resulting in additional spend and effort down the road.
- Botching an initial deployment, making buy-in for future projects more difficult.
- A lack of processes for provisioning and maintenance, leading to database sprawl, ballooning costs, and added security risks.
This workshop enables you to:
- Break down the cloud strategy into digestible, concrete steps.
- Identify and mitigate risks before they become a problem.
- Develop tools to gain buy-in and sign-off from stakeholders.
