# Have you considered all that can be done in a year?

IT projects often move slowly. The University of Phoenix expected their cloud migration to last eighteen months. We helped them do it in four and a half. In fact, on average, our clients migrate their entire estate to the cloud in about 4 months.  So as we look to 2022, we're asking the question, "what can you accomplish in the next year?

# Have you considered all that can be done in a year?

December 06, 2021 2 min Read

IT projects often move slowly. The University of Phoenix expected their cloud migration to last eighteen months. We helped them [do it in four and a half](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQYWpGclkwU&list=PLVndTXNRGgbPsarkQRsDG5rayKOgzuCHg&index=11 "do it in four and a half"). In fact, on average, our clients migrate their entire estate to the cloud in about 4 months.

So as we look to 2022, we’re asking the question, “what can you accomplish in the next year?

We’re also looking back at what we were able to do in 2021. In March, we launched Cloud Different™, [our approach to the multi-cloud journey](https://expedient.com/services/multi-cloud/ "our approach to the multi-cloud journey"). This included the rollout of a suite of universal multi-cloud services, including [Cost CTRL](https://expedient.com/services/costctrl/ "Cost CTRL"), [Security CTRL](https://expedient.com/services/security/ "Security CTRL"), and [Operations CTRL](https://expedient.com/knowledgebase/resources/introducing-expedient-operations-ctrl/ "Operations CTRL").

At [VMworld in September](https://expedient.com/knowledgebase/resources/skip-architecting-start-using-vmware-horizon-with-expedient-enterprise-workspace/ "VMworld in September"), we launched Expedient Enterprise Workspace, [our Desktop as a Service offering](https://expedient.com/services/workspace/ "our Desktop as a Service offering") to help clients combine technology and people to enable their hybrid workforce to be flexible, mobile, and productive.

And over the past two months, we’ve opened new data centers in [Milwaukee](https://expedient.com/about/media/expedient-continues-expansion-with-addition-of-new-milwaukee-data-center/ "Milwaukee"), [Phoenix](https://expedient.com/about/media/expedient-opens-new-phoenix-data-center-extending-the-reach-of-its-universal-multi-cloud-services-portfolio/ "Phoenix"), and [Denver](https://expedient.com/about/media/expedient-data-center-expansion-continues-with-new-facility-opening-in-denver/ "Denver").

All of which is to say, we’ve been able to accomplish a lost this year in order to provide better service to our clients and empower them to accelerate their transformations.

IT projects often move slowly, it’s true. That doesn’t mean you have to plan slowly.
