Describe the steps that you would include in the plan to migrate these services?
The aim of the Meta soft board is to create a strategy that will help in migrating their web services
in to the cloud server, so that they can get better flexibility and the efficiency will also get increased.
Before migrating to the cloud server, there are some major concerns that are needed to be considered
to be as the essential part. This are as follows:
 Loss of control
 Security
 Reliability of the cloud server
 Managing the possible irks
 Provider lock-in
In order to overcome these problems and issues the Meta soft needs to be more careful and needs
to hire an expert who will be able to solve the problems faced after migrating to the cloud server.
Proper migration planning is needed, so that the organization can avoid issues (Hashem et al., 2015).
In spite of having a consultant or an expert to help, it is equally necessary to plan the migration.
Basically while implementing some changes into the organization or migrating to some other sever,
there are two ways of approaching to the pan of migration, this are:
Approach from the business perspective: this will help the organization to understand and analyse
he need of the business. The benefits that are going to come with migration and the technical
requirements are kept forward. This are given first priority, when approached from the business
perspective. There is a need to describe a plan that will be beneficial for the business for long term.
Approach from the perspective of provider: These will help the organization to have a better
solution from the technical side.
From the business perspective of migration it can be divided into six approaches
1. Assess applications and the workloads: this typically includes what are the main findings
and consideration required for the business. In addition to this there are several considerations

including data consideration, technology, security and integration considerations. However,
with implementing this their arises some questions that are needed to be answered while
developing this server. The critical application that are needed for this organization needs to
understand.
2. The organization needs to build business case: the business case will have a cost analysis
section that will look after this once the system gets migrated in the sever. This includes the
cost related to on- going cloud service costs, managing the service, managing the license,
redesigning the application, testing the sever and maintaining it with proper administration.
There is need to aware the employees with the use of these technology, so that they can easily
access it (Balalaie, Heydarnoori & Jamshidi, 2015). These can be done with providing
trainings towards these. Moreover, apart from these costs, there is need of implementing HR
policies and costs. The impact that will create on the business is related to the impact on the
revenue also needs to look after the customer satisfaction.
3. Technical approach: before migrating the server, they needs to choose appropriate solution
that will help in providing better facility. The company needs to understand and choose
between IaaS and PaaS, so that better facility can be implemented for the business model. The
technical approach needs to estimate the skills that are required for easy accessing and
migrating the server. But with the migration steps, there are some issues faced that are needed
to be configured.
4. Flexible integration model: These helps in finding an integration model that will in return
Flexible integrating model: this is divided into three parts. That is the process integration and
the data integration and presentation integration (Wei et al., 2014). Process integration
involves invoking another application in order to execute the work flow whereas in the data
integration application is used to share or one application is being used to provide the another
one with the input. Presentation integration is referred to as the dashboard that is being filled
with multiple applications at a time.
5. Addressing the Security and the privacy issues: this becomes very much necessary to
understand the security issues that may arise with migrating into the cloud server. Thus for
