Cloud migrations offer organisations greater flexibility, scalability, and access to modern AI driven capabilities — but they also introduce new challenges around performance, cost control, and security.

This session outlines the critical insights leaders need before moving their data platform to the cloud, the practical migration paths available, and the strategic decisions that determine long term success.

Using Redgate Monitor as a guide, we’ll show how establishing clear performance baselines, identifying operational risks early, validating behaviour post migration, and applying secure role based access controls through the Permissions page all contribute to a predictable and well governed transition. Attendees will leave with a clear, data driven framework for planning a secure, cost efficient, and confidence building cloud migration.
