Abstract

Cloud computing has brought substantial changes to businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), by streamlining IT resource procurement and reshaping IT management responsibilities and security. Many SMEs still rely on outdated physical data centres, servers, and hardware for their IT infrastructure and applications. This reliance often stems from prior investments in infrastructure, software, and hardware, coupled with concerns about upgradability and the high cost of adopting new technology. However, in today's competitive technological landscape, organisations must maintain an IT infrastructure that is scalable, highly available, cost-efficient, high-performing, adaptable, and secure. This research paper examines the case of Xcilent.com, a modest taxi company, and its decision to migrate to the cloud, with a specific focus on AWS as their chosen cloud service provider. This strategic migration is aimed at bolstering Xcilent.com's competitive stance within the ground transportation sector, particularly when facing formidable competitors like Uber. The migration plan emphasizes adherence to predefined business privacy and security standards while striving for an elevated service level. Despite the initial challenges associated with cloud migration, this transition presents a valuable opportunity for Xcilent.com to modernise its IT infrastructure, making it more secure, scalable, and cost-effective.
