How many IT Consultants does it take to migrate a business into the cloud?
- eitally 16y agoIf you're only using consultants you're doing it wrong. I moved 16,000 employees to Gmail in three months, but the pilot and preparation phases lasted 12 months. It took about 6 dedicated internal staffers to work the project and multiple thousands of hours of localized and personalized training led by other IT employees. ... and I'd consider this a big success. Compare it to the City of LA's Gmail migration, which is being conducted almost completely by CSC and moving very slowly (at significant expense).
