Unlock the potential of Microsoft Azure with a clear roadmap with tailored recommendations and risk assessments, for a successful cloud migration.

As organisations move towards cloud transformation, understanding the readiness of your infrastructure, applications, and costs is critical for success.

Our Azure Cloud Migration Assessment, guided by the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework, will offer a comprehensive evaluation of your current infrastructure, identify gaps, and ensure a seamless transition to the cloud, tailored to your business needs.

Key Benefits of a Cloud Migration Assessment:

Identifying and Addressing Potential Risks

An Azure Cloud Migration Assessment helps organisations proactively identify potential challenges and risks in your current infrastructure, such as compatibility issues, security gaps, and performance bottlenecks.

Optimising Cost and Resource Allocation.

The assessment provides a clear understanding of the resources and costs required for the migration. It allows you to assess which workloads should be moved, re-architected, or optimised for Azure, ensuring efficient use of cloud resources and preventing overspend.

Why use the CBS Azure Cloud Migration Assessment:

Our team of highly skilled and experienced Azure-certified experts will break down the assessment into three structured phases, ensuring clarity, precision, and actionable insights.

Stage 1: Define Strategy

Objective: Align the Cloud adoption program with your business goals and outcomes.

Key Activities:

• Impact analysis: Assess how workloads are currently used and identify the expected impact of migration.
• Current state report: Document findings, providing a clear view of your environment’s readiness for Azure

Stage 3: Develop Roadmap

Objective:: Build a strategic roadmap with actionable steps to ensure a smooth Azure migration.

Key Activities:

• High-level Azure architecture design: Develop a tailored Azure architecture for your future state.
• Workload suitability analysis: Identify workloads best suited for IAAS, PAAS and SAAS, prioritising them based on business impact and technical complexity.
• Cost estimation: Provide potential running cost estimates for your Azure environment using tools like the Azure Pricing Calculator.
• Proof of Concept Recommendations: Identify and recommend target workloads for an initial Proof of Concept (POC) migration.
• Roadmap development: Deliver a clear, detailed roadmap outlining priorities, timelines, and cost insights.

Final Deliverables:

• Cloud Adoption Strategy Document:outlining business drivers and outcomes.
• Current State Report: with workload discovery and impact analysis.
• Azure Roadmap Document: including architecture design, prioritised workloads, and cost estimates.
