Slalom's Azure Strategic Planning and Assessment: 4-6 Week Engagement
The Azure Strategic Planning & Assessment offering is a structured, insight-driven engagement designed to help organisations take their first confident step toward the cloud.
Over several weeks, Slalom combines automated, tool- based discovery, stakeholder alignment, and strategic analysis to deliver a clear picture of your current IT landscape and future cloud potential.
The Three Crucial Questions
How can we gain a clear, unbiased view of our current IT landscape to make informed cloud decisions?
How do we align cloud transformation with our business goals, people, and constraints - not just technology?
Where do we have the greatest potential to modernize - and how do we prioritize what to move, improve, or retire?
