Azure Database Audit: 1-Week Assessment

We will evaluate your company's present local (or alternative cloud) setup, analyze your customers' readiness to use the Azure platform, and provide a detailed Azure platform database audit report based on our findings. We will clearly evaluate your company's cloud goals and objectives, analyze existing workloads/infrastructure, IT and other costs, security and compliance requirements, and determine the best options for implementing the Azure platform to increase flexibility and save money, working in collaboration with business and technology owners.
