Cloud migration has become the industry’s favorite buzzword, but the reality behind the scenes is far more chaotic. Analysts report that most cloud migrations fail to hit their goals, go over budget, or collapse under performance and security issues. Many companies even reverse their migrations within two years because the costs and instability outweigh the benefits.

This video explains why so many cloud projects fail, what is happening in real organizations, and how anonymous high profile failures reveal patterns that vendors never talk about. You will hear about a national retailer that rushed into a migration two weeks before Black Friday and lost more than fifteen million dollars because integrations and capacity planning were ignored.

Most importantly, you will learn the strategies that actually prevent disaster. Stress testing integrations, rejecting vendor driven timelines, understanding true risk exposure, building in-house competency, and protecting your business with real contractual safeguards. Cloud migration can work, but only when you respect the risk and prepare for it with clarity and discipline.
