Azure Innovate 6-Week Implementation

Azure Innovate from Servent offers your business a proven approach to application modernisation, grounded in the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF). Leveraging years of experience in cloud migrations, we recognise that transitioning applications to the cloud can be challenging and potentially disruptive. To address this, we have segmented the process into manageable stages, tailored to meet your unique needs. With Azure Innovate, you can achieve cost savings, scalability, agility, improved productivity, and greater resiliency. Partner with Servent to streamline your journey to a modern enterprise and fully leverage the extensive capabilities of Azure. ###A Proven Modernisation Framework Azure Innovate is a comprehensive framework designed to modernise applications while leveraging cloud-native technology to drive innovation for your business. Our approach instils confidence in the migration process and ensures scalability, enhanced resiliency, cost efficiency, and a well-skilled, confident staff.

• Envision: The Envision stage involves comprehensive assessment and planning, where we evaluate your application estate using the most appropriate tools. This assessment provides detailed insights into your application portfolio, deployment needs, dependencies, security and compliance requirements, and data assessment.
• Commit: In this stage, we focus on building and transitioning to Azure by designing a scalable and robust Application Landing Zone. We also perform rigorous testing, including proof of concept and quality assurance, to ensure reliability and functionality, leading up to user acceptance testing to validate that the solutions meet business requirements.
• Operate: Finally, in the Operate stage, we ensure observability and cost optimisation, confirming that everything runs smoothly post-migration. We also provide thorough training and knowledge transfer for your team, equipping them with the skills needed to manage and maintain the new environment effectively.

###Key Benefits

• Fully utilise the power of Microsoft Azure
• Scalability & Cost savings
• Knowledge Transfer & Training
• Improved productivity
• Greater resiliency and recovery abilities

##Enterprise Cloud Our Enterprise Cloud approach is a comprehensive approach, designed to facilitate digital transformation and cloud adoption for businesses of all sizes. This approach leverages the full spectrum of Microsoft Azure services to deliver scalable, secure, and efficient cloud solutions. Enterprise Cloud approach is designed to demystify the cloud for businesses, providing clear, actionable strategies for cloud adoption and modernisation. This ensures that companies can leverage the power of Azure to transform their operations, improve security, and achieve their business goals.

##What we help with

• Application migrations: Migration of the optimised application workloads into Azure. Servent can assist in all aspects of the migration pathway.
• Training and knowledge: The benefits of consuming cloud services will only be realised if the those supporting the platform are sufficiently skilled. We will work with you every step of the way to ensure that you have the right blend of knowledge and skills to support your modern application portfolio. We allocate applications from your portfolio into each category:
• Rehost (Lift and Shift) - A rehost effort moves a current state asset to the Azure cloud, with minimal change to the overall architecture.
• Refactor (Cloud optimise) - Platform as a service (PaaS) options can reduce the operational costs that are associated with many applications. It's often a good idea to slightly refactor an application to fit a PaaS-based model.
• Rearchitect (re-platform) - Apps that are cloud-compatible, but not cloud-native, can create cost and operational efficiencies by slightly rearchitecting the solution into a cloud native application. Other legacy apps might need to be rearchitected completely before eventually been deployed to the cloud.
• Rebuild - In some scenarios, the changes required to carry an application forward can be too large to justify further investment. In this case, a new code base is created to align with a cloud-native approach.
• Replace - Software as a Service (SaaS) applications may provide all the required functionality for the hosted application. In these scenarios, a workload can be scheduled for future replacement, effectively removing it from the transformation effort.
