Cloud Readiness Assessment
Your Cloud Migration Could Fail Before It Starts
Get in TouchMoving workloads to Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 promises significant benefits, but many businesses encounter costly challenges related to security vulnerabilities, governance gaps, application compatibility issues, network dependencies, and unexpected cost overruns. Our structured Cloud Readiness Assessment eliminates guesswork and reduces migration risks through comprehensive preparation.
Common Cloud Migration Misconceptions That Increase Failure Risk
“We’re unsure about compliance in Azure and M365” – Compliance in the cloud is achievable with proper planning. We provide expert guidance on security controls, identity governance, and regulatory compliance frameworks specifically designed for your industry and requirements.
“Cloud migration is too expensive and complex” – Unplanned migration is expensive and complex. Our phased assessment approach ensures cost control, risk mitigation, and smooth implementation through proper preparation and strategic planning.
“Our legacy applications won’t work in the cloud” – Legacy applications can often be migrated or modernised successfully. We assess application dependencies and provide realistic solutions including hybrid approaches, modernisation strategies, or cloud-native replacements.
Service Packages Tailored to Your Organisation Size and Complexity
Assessment Package: Structured evaluation focusing on security, compliance, workload dependencies, and cost optimisation. Perfect for organisations beginning cloud migration planning who need clear understanding of requirements and readiness gaps.
Advisory Package: Comprehensive assessment plus detailed migration planning and ongoing advisory support. Includes complete governance frameworks, cost optimisation strategies, and hands-on guidance for seamless cloud transformation. Ideal for enterprises requiring end-to-end strategic planning.
Service Requirements: What We Need From You
- Remote assessment work conducted Monday to Friday, 9:00-17:30
- Assessment covers strategy and planning, not hands-on migration implementation
- Access to required documentation, environments, and key stakeholder availability for workshops
- Read-only access to Microsoft 365 admin portals for comprehensive security and compliance reviews
- On-premises infrastructure documentation and limited environment access for dependency analysis
Important: Assessment identifies requirements and provides recommendations. Implementation of findings requires separate engagement unless explicitly included in project scope.
