Azure Migration Readiness Kickstart

Our assessment provides analysis and insight into your infrastructure and applications, helping you build a clear business case for moving to Azure, along with a high-level migration plan. Our goal is to help your organization minimize migration risks and make better-informed decisions.

• Strategy assessment: We evaluate your overall business goals and objectives, desired outcomes, current-state pain points, culture, and in-house capabilities, and align recommendations accordingly.
• Automated infrastructure discovery: We utilize an industry-leading discovery tool that provides complete visibility into your applications and infrastructure, their performance metrics, and their dependencies as a crucial step in planning your migration.
• Application inventory and dependency mapping: Our consultants work with your SMEs to map the existing infrastructure to application stacks, along with portfolio rationalization using the 6R’s approach to determine the best disposition and migration approach.
• TCO analysis: We assess current-state consumption and conduct a cost-modeling exercise to help estimate your future cloud consumption. Cost modeling will include, but not limited to, Microsoft Azure hybrid benefits and possible Microsoft incentives.
• Migration road map and planning: We help you create a high-level migration wave plan and determine whether a lift & shift or pipeline-driven migration is the best approach. You will know timelines, risks, and contingencies based on your business objectives and goals.
