For years, cloud migration projects have been slowed by fragmented, manual processes. Discovery required deploying multiple tools and navigating lengthy approvals. Assessments relied on manual analysis or tools requiring significant time. Migration itself depended on manual scripting for wave planning, network conversion, and server orchestration. This end-to-end journey often stretched across many months, delaying cloud […]
