Azure PaaS App Modernization: 10-Wk Implementation

Modernize .NET or PHP applications to realize the many benefits of PaaS managed cloud services. Azure App Service delivers build and host capabilities without needing to manage infrastructure, providing high availability, auto-deployments, and more. Azure SQL Database handles most of the database management functions, like upgrades, patching, backups, and monitoring. AIS will first assess, then implement a modernization plan.

AIS Approach

• Assessment Phase (week 1-5): For up to 5 applications, AIS will perform an application assessment to determine suitability for Azure PaaS services, gauge business impact, inventory and validate assets to be migrated, analyze performance expectations, determine cloud cost estimates, and more to inform the target architecture design and migration plan.

• Migrate & Modernize Phase (week 6-10): AIS engineers will refactor the application using the determined approach including App Service and Azure SQL. We’ll test the application’s functional requirements and evaluate opportunities for automation and regular deployment.

• Continuous Modernization: Following the assessment and modernization phases, we’ll have established a rhythm and best practices working together for continuous modernization of your application portfolio, introducing DevOps processes, addressing complex security requirements, and more.

Anticipated Outcomes

• Documented application assessment targeting App Service and/or Azure SQL Database
• Successful migration of an on-premises application to Azure
