Leveraging SQL Server 2008 end of support for accelerated data estate modernisation
The Microsoft end of support for SQL Server 2008 in July 2019 represents more than an important system update. It is a call to action for businesses that haven’t created a comprehensive strategy for digital transformation. With over 90% of organisations predicted to adopt hybrid cloud or fully cloud-based infrastructure by 2020, all business is becoming digital. The competitive consequences of falling behind at this moment are significant and go well beyond the rising costs of aging infrastructure maintenance, inefficiencies of siloed infrastructure, and risks associated with “shadow IT” behavior.
The new e-book from Readify and Microsoft, entitled A Jump-Start to Data Estate Modernisation, provides critical information, strategies and methods for getting started on data estate modernisation by showing you how to easily visualise all your digital assets in a single pane of glass view. In the e-book, you’ll learn the important questions to ask about your data posture before starting modernisation. It then describes a three-phase process that culminates in a clear roadmap for digital transformation based on the expertise of Readify, a Microsoft certified Azure Expert Managed Service Provider.
