Azure Foundations: 4-Week Assessment

The Azure Foundation Assessment provides clients with a review of their server footprint using tooling such as Azure Migrate or Movere. At the end of the assessment, the client will have a breakdown of what it would cost to run workloads in Azure and a high-level implementation plan on how to migrate securely.

Key topics for this assessment include: • Understand their business to see how workloads are being utilized • Identify key apps and workloads for migration • Build an Azure adoption model with a high-level cost estimate to run workloads in Azure • Understand the capabilities of Azure Landing Zones and best practices for implementation
