Discovery and Assessment : 6 week Azure migration assessment

Our discovery and assessment product helps organizations identify and understand their existing IT infrastructure and application workloads and provides detailed report with cost estimates. This saves time, reduces costs, minimizes risks, improves security and ensures a smooth transition to Microsoft Azure.

Customer insights gained from these discoveries and assessments allow us to support you as a customer to better deploy, adopt, consume, and gain long-term business value from your Microsoft cloud investments and services.  Recommended time duration for the assessment is 6 up to 10 weeks, this timeframe allows us to collect enough data to start building an overview of the as - is environment. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the environment.
