| MIDACOST03: How do you optimize your migration strategy to reduce infrastructure costs for manufacturing-specific workloads? | 
| --- | 
|   | 

 Developing an effective migration strategy for industrial workloads requires a thorough analysis of current on-premises systems, including product lifecycle management (PLM), manufacturing execution systems (MES), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and other manufacturing-specific applications. This involves understanding unique manufacturing requirements, assessing OT and IT integration needs, considering production continuity, and planning for post-migration optimization for cost reduction without compromising operational efficiency.
