Migrate and Modernize Securely with KiZAN

Accelerate business agility, security, and cost optimization—while creating a foundation for AI—by migrating and modernizing your estate on Microsoft Azure. KiZAN delivers a proven, implementation-led engagement: a focused assessment, a detailed plan, and execution to production across servers, databases, data platforms.

As part of your Datacenter Modernization, you'll receive a prioritized plan of the assets that need to move, cloud readiness training, deployed supporting services to manage the assets after they've been moved, and a tested and validated migration of your servers and databases.

What You Can Expect

According to Forrester's Total Economic Impact study, companies that shift some or all of their assets to Azure's infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offering could see a five-year ROI of 435%. Companies that don't effectively migrate their assets could struggle to realize the gains presented by the cloud.
