Azure Application Modernization & Migration

Legacy applications can often lead to high maintenance costs, security vulnerabilities, and an inability to innovate quickly. Plan A Technologies specializes in migrating and modernizing complex applications to the Microsoft Azure cloud, helping you reduce technical debt, enhance performance, and unlock new growth opportunities.

Our expert-led approach ensures a seamless and strategic transition, tailored to your specific business goals and technical landscape.

Our Modernization & Migration Services

We offer a comprehensive suite of services to guide you through every phase of your modernization journey.

1. Assessment & Strategic Roadmap (Discovery)

• Legacy System Analysis: A deep dive into your existing application architecture, codebase, dependencies, and infrastructure.
• Azure Readiness Assessment: We evaluate your workloads for Azure compatibility and identify the optimal migration path.
• Modernization Roadmap: We deliver a detailed, strategic plan outlining the recommended approach, target Azure architecture, timeline, and cost estimates.

2. Migration & Modernization Execution

Our team is proficient in a range of modernization strategies and will implement the best one for your needs:

• Re-hosting (Lift-and-Shift): Rapidly migrate your existing applications to Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to achieve immediate cost savings and operational efficiency.
• Re-platforming: Adapt your applications to take better advantage of cloud capabilities by moving to services like Azure App Service or Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with minimal architectural changes.
• Re-architecting: Fundamentally redesign your application for a cloud-native future. We transform monolithic applications into scalable, resilient microservices and leverage modern Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings like Azure Functions and Azure SQL.
• Data Migration: Securely and efficiently migrate your databases and data stores to Azure's managed database services, including Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, and Azure Database for PostgreSQL/MySQL.

3. Post-Migration Optimization

• FinOps & Cost Optimization: We analyze your Azure consumption to ensure you are running a cost-effective environment.
• Performance Tuning: We optimize your application and infrastructure for peak performance and reliability on Azure.
• DevOps Enablement: We help you implement robust CI/CD pipelines and IaC (Infrastructure as Code) practices to automate deployment and management.
