Abstract: Cloud migration represents a pivotal transformation for organizations seeking to enhance operational performance, scalability, and innovation in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. However, assessing the success of such initiatives requires a structured evaluation framework built on key performance metrics. This article identifies and examines critical metrics that define effective cloud migration outcomes: cost optimization, operational efficiency, enhanced performance, security and compliance, and user satisfaction. Cost optimization focuses on reducing expenditure while maximizing resource utilization, while operational efficiency emphasizes streamlined workflows and improved productivity. Enhanced performance highlights the ability to scale and manage workloads effectively, ensuring high-speed operations and capacity for growth. Security and compliance address the need for robust protection against cyber threats and adherence to regulatory requirements. Lastly, user satisfaction reflects the impact of migration on end-user experience and overall adoption success. Organizations can ensure a smooth migration process by strategically using data analysis and advanced analytical tools aligned with best practices. Furthermore, these metrics serve as benchmarks for continuous improvement, enabling businesses to generate additional value, achieve long-term strategic objectives, and maintain relevance amidst accelerating technological change. Organizations can turn cloud migration into a driver of sustained growth and competitive advantage by focusing on these metrics.
