The $200K+ Migration Mistake
Sean Lobjoit··1 min read
Many companies lose in excess of $200K when a cloud migration fails. This is usually not because of technology but because of architecture decisions made in the very first week of planning.

What Enterprise Teams Get Wrong
Here's what I found enterprise teams consistently get wrong, and how to fix it:
- Ensure all teams are aligned cross-functionally. It's not just an engineering problem
- Don't optimise for speed at first, focus on scalability
- Focus on compliance before it becomes a blocker
What Successful Companies Do Differently
The companies that succeed do things differently:
- Map business outcomes to technical requirements first
- Build for high-availability from day one
- Embed security and compliance into architecture
