This Application Modernization Assessment will prepare you to evolve into the cloud.
Do you need to move to the cloud but want to get there without a scenic journey? This assessment will assist you to identify and prioritize applications for cloud modernization. It is targeted towards customers who are looking to move applications to the cloud and work in a model hosted environment
OUTLINE
The Application Modernization Assessment assists customers to identify and prioritize applications for modernization to Azure. It prepares you to migrate applications from an on-prem environment to the cloud. This evaluation process takes both a business and architectural perspective to provide customers with cost consumption estimates, reference architecture design, and a modernization plan.
Ideal for customers who are concerned about:
- Limited business agility from aging applications
- User experience in a modern world
- Ambiguity around prioritizing applications for transition
- Increasing support costs for legacy applications
PURPOSE
The assessment process captures information critical to the assessment output via modern discovery tools. The deliverable is the Final Assessment Report, which summarizes the process and findings and makes key next steps recommendations. Each project recommendation clearly articulates the value proposition for undertaking the project.
