Are you running on-premise back-office applications such as PeopleSoft, E-Business Suite, Lawson, JD Edwards, etc.? Are you looking for a strategy to move to a SaaS (Software-as a-Service) applications such as Oracle Cloud? Building trust into a cloud concept is not an easy feat and there are many items to consider as an organization develops a strategy and prepares for a SaaS transition.
First, the transition to SaaS is a business transformation, not just an IT infrastructure change or a pricing model change. It is not uncommon for businesses to underestimate the challenges and level of business transformation associated with moving to the cloud. When a SaaS strategy is created, the consequence of each choice should be incorporated into the strategy. By evaluating consequences, businesses can make sure the SaaS outcomes are clearly defined and understood across the organization. Essentially, this eliminates unnecessary surprises!
Second, businesses need to understand the impacts of the transition and set the right expectations. The transition impacts can be categorized as business process and policy, operational, change management, and personnel.
