At Edurigo we were born in cloud. We do have customers who came to us from on-prim learning systems and wanted to move into cloud. We created a path from them and moved them into our cloud. It provides a lot elasticity to everyone and working out very well for our customers.

We've started with moving our on-prem exchange to exchange online. After the success of that project we started to move file servers to one drive, skype on-prem to MS Team, SLQ to Azure SQL etc. It's critical to have the first cloud project/workload be successful so you will have more support from the business and all the stakeholders to move with the migration of other workloads.

Has anyone successfully completed a transition from Salesforce CPQ (Steelbrick) to Salesforce Revenue Cloud? We are in a high tech industry domain and happened to customize our Steelbrick CPQ to meet the business needs and now that Steelbrick CPQ is no longer being sold, the innovation is coming to an end. Salesforce hasn't announced a EOL date. Has anyone gone through this transition and what was it like - pain points, best practices, etc?

We are planning to move our SAP ATTP solution, which is currently on-premise, to RISE with SAP S/4HANA. Are there any peers who have experience with this transition? We would love to hear about your process, key learnings, and any advice you might have.
