#2 Prepare for take-off
You have done a comprehensive financial analysis between your current IT portfolio and a future state, cloud-based environment by incorporating multi-factor analysis of people, processes, technology and automation across multiple domains. The TCO showed that the cloud is the way for your future data management solution, and you have chosen the Snowflake Data Cloud as your new cloud platform.
You have onboarded your in-house team andmaybe even did the Snowflake MRA program but would like to dig deeper.
You are asking yourself the following questions:
What use cases to start with?
How to prepare a detailed project migration/development plan?
What should be your priorities (business, technical, or both)?
How to set up and steer your team?
Should you outsource or do it in-house?
How to build a detailed architecture, ELT, data marts yes or no?
Introduce new BI and data science tools that would fit better or migrate the old workloads?
How to prepare for testing?
Can we do the lift and shift as is or do we need to re-engineer?
What can you automate?
Do you need a backup scenario?
What are the potential bottlenecks and pitfalls you should avoid?
This pack provides you with a guided consultation in a series of in-depth interactive workshops. Our common goal here is to help you address questions of overall architecture, project management, and final services cost.
