By 2019, more than 30% of technology providers’ new software investments will shift from “Cloud-First”, to “Cloud-Only”
Virtually every organization will explore Cloud technology
By 2020, anything other than a Cloud-Only Strategy for new IT initiatives will require justification at more than 30% of large-enterprise organizations
By 2021, more than 50% of global enterprises already using Cloud today will adopt an All-In Cloud strategy
In fact, Gartner predicts that:

With the heavy investment and innovation in Cloud Technologies from Google, Amazon and Microsoft, it’s easy to see why companies will
develop a Cloud Data Strategy.However most large companies have complex infrastructures, with multiple back-end systems and data stores, which presents several challenges when designing a Cloud architecture, such as:
Establishing the right security access controls for role management
Ingesting both streaming and batch data in the Cloud
Architecting a hybrid solution that includes both Cloud and On-Prem, across multiple geographies
Tracking data provenance and ensuring privacy

Follow a well-established and proven Reference Architecture
Defining and abiding by an enterprise reference architecture will help organizations ensure that data is being collected, stored, and accessed in a consistent, governed and secure manner.
Standardize on Metadata Capture
Defining a standard process for capturing metadata is imperative for organizations as they seek to catalogue, discover, and use data across the enterprise. Without metadata, organizations risk having their Cloud Enterprise Data Lake turn into a “Data Swamp”.
Standardize on Ingestion
Organizations must agree on the method, process and tool to standardize how data is ingested across the enterprise. This will reduce the number disparate data silos, to achieve a single source of truth.
Based on our vast experience implementing both legacy and Cloud Enterprise Data Lakes, there are 3 tenets to a successful Cloud data migration plan that must be followed:
Organizations that follow these principles will not only realize all the operational benefits of the Cloud but moreover, they
will find that the data in the Cloud is usable, reliable and secure.

Case Study
A global financial institution with a legacy (on-prem) Enterprise Data Lake (EDL) wanted to move data to the Cloud. They turned to Next Pathway to assist in the planning and execution of the migration strategy.
As part of their strategic plan, this financial institution was looking to migrate both data and applications to the Cloud.
They had concerns about migrating existing data, and ensuring the on-going ingestion of both streaming and batch data.
They also needed to establish a security framework to guarantee that the right roles had appropriate permissions to manage the data within the Data Lake in the Cloud.
