Statement of Work (SOW)

Service Overview

The advantages of cloud are gradually accepted and recognized by various enterprises. More and more enterprises are gradually migrating their business systems to the cloud. The era of enterprises fully embracing cloud migration has arrived. However, there are still situations where enterprises are uncertain about their needs and positioning when they first migrate to the cloud and use the cloud. Enterprises have no way to find a comprehensive professional team.

Huawei Cloud have no unified entry point to introduce. To supplement the professional service capabilities of early research, planning and design of cloud migration solutions, solve the pain points of cloud migration solutions, and accelerate enterprise cloud migration, Huawei Cloud launched the IaaS adoption planning and design (IaaSAPD) service. Through IaaSAPD, enterprises can understand the objectives and concepts of Huawei Cloud architecture design, enhance IT personnel's understanding of the cloud to support Accelerate enterprise digital transformation. According to the current business status of the enterprise, it can also give the enterprise suggestions for cloud architecture design and cloud migration, enhancing the enterprise's confidence in cloud migration.
