How to Budget for a Cloud Migration: Key Costs You Can’t Afford to Miss

Описание: In this clip from our webinar co-presented with Umbraco titled "Cloud Mastery: Overcoming Migration Challenges," we explore the most overlooked yet critical factor in cloud migration success: budgeting.

Too often, digital transformation projects stall or fail not because of technology, but due to a lack of clear, strategic financial planning. In this session, we break down how to approach cloud migration budgeting holistically, including real-world pitfalls and essential cost categories you must consider upfront.

In this video, you'll learn:

• Why defining your business problem should come before budgeting
• The difference between RFP-driven estimates and strategic internal investment planning
• Key budget categories to account for:
• Cloud hosting infrastructure (Azure, Umbraco Cloud, AWS, etc.)
• CMS implementation costs, including transitions from platforms like WordPress
• Integration needs with DAM, PIM, and middleware systems
• Software and add-on licensing (recurring and one-time costs)
• Manual vs. automated content migration resource needs
• Deployment clarity between internal teams and external partners
• Post–go-live support expectations and ownership

Whether you are a digital leader, IT manager, or stakeholder involved in cloud migration planning, this discussion will help you avoid common missteps and prepare a budget that sets your project up for long-term success.
