Storytelling: How to convey the cloud migration value story with Forrester
 

The strategic use of cloud services can both accelerate business results, drive new revenue streams, and heighten innovation. One of the most important areas of modernization has been the move of on-premises to the cloud via SaaS — especially when it comes to core business operations. The continued proliferation of application migration to the cloud across all categories and replacement of mission-critical applications with SaaS and cloud services makes it increasingly important to convey and persuade your customers to do the same. We’ll walk through key messaging points and values of using cloud, the dangerous effects and examples of what happens when a company does not migrate, and best practices in how to relay that messaging to your customers.
