5 Mistakes Businesses Make When Moving to the Cloud (And How We Help Avoid Them)

Cloud migration is a huge step forward for any business—but it’s also full of pitfalls. As someone who’s helped multiple clients shift to AWS and Azure, I’ve seen common mistakes that delay progress and inflate costs.

Here are the top five:

  1. No Clear Strategy
    Moving to the cloud without a roadmap is like building a house without blueprints.
  2. Ignoring Security Compliance
    Just because your data is "in the cloud" doesn’t mean it’s safe by default.
  3. Underestimating Costs
    Pay-as-you-go sounds great—until you get the bill for unused services.
  4. Lack of Internal Training
    Cloud tools require a new mindset and new skills for your team.
  5. Skipping Testing and Monitoring
    Launching without proper testing is a fast track to downtime.
