Azure Migration
Migrating to the cloud can transform the way your business operates and enable you to gain a competitive advantage, whilst futureproofing your growth.
However, a poorly planned and executed migration can cause ongoing problems, increased spending, and a poor user experience. Working with a trusted advisor is more cost-effective and efficient, and reduces the risk associated with migration, such as loss of data or downtime.
Using industry best practices, our experts enable organisations to assess their existing IT infrastructure and migrate to Microsoft Azure cloud or optimise the existing workloads on Azure.

Our Cloud Migration Roadmap
Step 1
Define Business Objectives
Before any business undertakes a cloud migration project, they need to define what the objectives are for the business.
Step 3
Define Cloud Migration Strategy
Cloud realisation – using methods like Rehost, Refactor, Replace, Retire, Retain – helps in evaluating assets to define the migration strategy for each asset.
Step 5
Migration
Every migration is different, but it should always be an incremental approach, where one workload is migrated at a time. Despite taking more planning and time, this approach reduces myriad technical risks.
Step 7
Establish Governance Plans
Governance is an iterative process, and every business will have its own compliance and governance requirements depending on applicable regulations and customer requirements.
Step 2
Evaluate the Digital Estate
Taking inventory of the digital estate – all IT assets that power business processes – helps choose the most effective deployment model or migration strategy.
Step 4
Decide on Cloud Deployment Model
Businesses need to decide on the right cloud deployment model for them: Public Cloud, Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud.
Step 6
Secure the Cloud Environment
Businesses need to create processes and implement controls to ensure their cloud environments are secure in terms of access control, security operations, and asset protection.
Step 8
Manage Cloud Costs
Businesses need to implement cost controls and manage their cloud costs to not run an unexpectedly large bill. They can view their cloud spend by service or resource and set a daily or monthly budget.
