We're in the process of migrating on-prem apps to cloud. Any best practices to share for cloud integration patterns?

You can start with lift and shift where you identify VMs/Physical servers or databases that can be moved "as is" so you migrate them fairly easy/quickly and achieve quick wins. Leave the applications that require refactoring last as they are more complex and require multiple phases/teams to be included. in the migration.

Your migration plan would slightly depend on which public cloud you are using but a common pattern would be to migrate a VM or app to test environment and find out the dependencies before hitting the production move.

All major cloud vendors provide solid (but of course generalized) guidance. To use Azure as an example, follow Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) for establishing base infrastructure, governance, and other foundational components; and Well-Architected Framework (WAF) for applications and services design patterns.

We are looking at a likely re-deployment of Dynamics CRM due to an upcoming Sales and business unit organizational re-alignment. While Gartner typically has content on vendors in a particular technology space, I was hoping to potentially find some integration/migration partner recommendations. We have 7 years of "history" in our existing Dynamics deployment. We expect the roles and security  to change significantly. We also anticipate the potential of adding a new "enterprise" customer identifier as some current customers are currently duplicated across subsidiary companies. I wanted to bypass personally reviewing the 135 peer reviews. Any real-life experiences to share?
