For most organizations, the decision to move to the cloud is easy. The hard part is executing a migration that delivers business value, not just a technical lift-and-shift. The reality is that cloud migration comes with hurdles that, if not addressed, can slow adoption and limit ROI. 

Common Challenges in Cloud Migration 

• Downtime risks: Critical ERP and business applications can’t afford extended outages during migration. 
• Complex integrations: Legacy systems often rely on multiple APIs, custom reports, and third-party connections. 
• Data security and compliance: Moving sensitive financial, HR, or customer data to the cloud requires strict governance. 
• Performance and scalability: Applications must be optimized to take advantage of cloud-native capabilities, not just relocated. 
• Change management: New identity models, user access, and remote work setups can create friction for employees and IT teams. 

How CES Helps Customers Overcome These Challenges 

At CES, we take a business-first approach to cloud migration. Our focus is not only on moving workloads but also on modernizing and optimizing them for the long term. Here’s how we’ve helped organizations across industries: 

• ERP and Core Systems: We’ve migrated large-scale ERP systems into Azure, handling upgrades, reconnecting APIs, and moving hundreds of reports—all while meeting tight timelines and budgets. 
• Application Modernization: Legacy on-prem applications were re-engineered into cloud-native solutions, powered by microservices, DevOps pipelines, and containerization for faster updates and greater scalability. 
• Data and Analytics: By centralizing enterprise data in Azure, applying row-level security, and enabling incremental loads, we’ve helped customers unlock insights faster while maintaining compliance. 
• Identity and Security: We simplified access by implementing Azure AD with SSO, MFA, and conditional access – reducing onboarding time dramatically and improving security posture. 
• Collaboration and Remote Work: From SharePoint migrations to Azure Virtual Desktop deployments, we’ve enabled modern, secure, and cost-effective collaboration environments.
