Planning and Assessment Services for Azure

Assessment and planning is the first and crucially important step in your journey with MS Azure. Our approach is truly unique, as we pride ourselves on close client relationships in order to understand your unique business situation. Thorough assessment is a vital building block for a successful migration and deployment strategy. First, we will gain insight into your apps, workloads and dependencies. Based on our assessment, we will construct a short-term and long-term strategy that will guide you through uncertainty in all aspects of your IT infrastructure.

Piecing Together a Robust Azure Migration Plan

Adopting MS Azure may seem complex, and that’s why our goal is to support and not constrain our clients throughout the process. Our experienced consultants understand how to manage the assessment phase to derive a plan that will support your short-term, and long-term objectives alike. The key short-term objective is successful migration with minimized interruptions. We will assist with outlining a myriad of factors that will facilitate short-term wins. For instance, we will establish which apps can be moved to cloud, how are your apps interconnected, or which apps should be migrated first.
