VMware Exit to Azure

Whether you’re looking to optimize your existing license spend or want to migrate away from VMware, Capgemini can help you choose the right path for your business to achieve the outcome you want with certainty and without impacting day-to-day operations. Capgemini's VMware Exit to Azure offer focuses on helping customers to develop an exit strategy based on their specific situation, plan the next steps and turn the challenge in an opportunity to transform and take advantage of key Microsoft technologies.

We start with the development of a comprehensive Exit strategy for making the transition to a cloud-first way of working, where public cloud is the preferred and prioritized IT model. The strategy will rely on a detailed analysis of the solution options that address the client scenarios and a business case to underpin decisions. With the exit strategy set, Capgemini's Migration & Modernization services help clients realize their desired outcome. We discover and assess customers complex workload information and map that to rich environment inter-dependency maps. This information supports the creation of a detailed migration and modernization plan that is aligned to the client's cloud strategy and helps the organization realize the business outcomes powered by Microsoft Azure. We combine our end-to-end cloud services with sector-specific expertise, advanced cloud technologies and global resources to guide your cloud journey every step of the way. And our strong partnership with Microsoft means we can harness their innovations to accelerate yours.
