Lift & Shift Cloud Migration
Many organizations start moving to the cloud using a lift & shift migration with one or more of their applications. Lift & shift, or rehosting, means moving a workload from on premise to the cloud with minimal modification.

Cloud Migration Benefits
At Webapper, we talk about cloud migration quite a bit. For us, cloud migration, especially to AWS, is exciting, challenging, and, well, essential to our business.

How to Run a Smart Content Marketing Campaign
Content marketing became all the rage around 2010. So much so that Google famously changed their search algorithm (the Panda update) to wipe out "content farms" that sucked up traffic with useless results. Since the goal of search engines is to answer your question in the best possible way, spammy results suck. So search engines now specifically address the searcher's intent — what are they really looking for? And the way search engines know how to respond is a wild cocktail of factors, including things like "the words on the page", the popularity of the page, and the popularity of the website containing the page. And that's what makes executing a smart content marketing campaign more important than ever. It's a long-term strategy that works, as shown in our examples. Your digital plans should include some of these ideas.

So to help you understand a bit more about what it all means, we'll explain what managed Amazon cloud hosting entails.
