The possibilities are virtually endless, and all companies should at least be looking into, what the cloud has to offer. Every company online, are using some kind of cloud computing. However, it is not everyone who knows, how to really be a part of it and take advantage of it. A practical view of how migration to the cloud could look like, and pitfalls one could encounter in the process is being presented. Both the process of moving applications and databases are being displayed in an attempt to guide others, if the decision of moving partially or fully to the cloud has been made. The investigations shows through tests, that there a many advantages to gain, if a company starts using the cloud. Cost efficiency and flexibility are some of the greatest advantages one can benefit from, if done right. Some amount of research from the individual companies needs to be done, in order to avoid obstacles later on in the process." }
