Migrating legacy systems to the cloud is a complex and strategic process that many organizations undertake to achieve greater efficiency, scalability, and cost savings. However, this transition comes with its own set of challenges, such as compatibility issues, data migration complexities, and resistance to change within the organization. This paper explores the challenges involved in legacy system migration to the cloud, outlines best practices for a successful transition, and highlights methodologies to streamline the process. Through a review of existing literature and case studies, the paper provides a comprehensive overview of how organizations can mitigate common risks and optimize the benefits of cloud migration.
