Proven Practices for Multicloud Success with Amazon Web Services Expertise

At Softprom, we know that conversations about multicloud can be full of mixed advice. Some experts warn against it due to added complexity, while others say it’s the future of enterprise IT. The truth? A multicloud strategy can be a powerful tool — if executed with clarity, governance, and the right partner by your side. With Amazon Web Services Expertise

Organizations choose multicloud for strategic reasons:

• Integrating acquired companies running on different platforms
• Leveraging unique capabilities from various providers
• Supporting different strategies at the holding-company and operating-company levels

However, success requires avoiding common misconceptions about cost savings, universal adoption, or automatic availability improvements. With Amazon Web Services’ integration capabilities and Softprom’s expertise, you can connect platforms without rebuilding everything or mastering every cloud environment from scratch.

7 Proven Practices for Multicloud Success

1. Define a Clear Strategy and Governance

Simply deciding to “go multicloud” isn’t enough. You need clear governance to determine which workloads go where and why. Establish evaluation criteria, regularly assess CSP performance, and implement consistent tagging across providers to ensure visibility, ownership, and compliance.

2. Avoid Splitting Contiguous Workloads Across Clouds

Workflows that depend on tight data integration shouldn’t be split across CSPs — it adds cost, latency, and complexity without real value.

3. Plan for Long-Term Integration

Think beyond today’s needs. Data and workloads may later require integration with advanced analytics, AI/ML, or broader enterprise systems. Make placement decisions with that future in mind.

4. Use Containers Strategically

Containers can improve portability, but they’re not a universal solution. Softprom helps you identify where containerization adds value — and where it doesn’t.

5. Create a Single Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE)

A unified CCoE ensures standardization and efficiency, while specialized teams within it handle the specifics of each cloud provider.

6. Make Security a Priority

Multiple security models mean higher risk. Softprom helps consolidate monitoring, automate controls, and enforce encryption — in Amazon Web Services and across providers.

7. Adopt an 80/20 Workload Distribution

Keeping 80% of workloads in your primary cloud (AWS) and 20% in others for specialized capabilities reduces complexity, improves team expertise, and accelerates innovation.
