Azure Cloud Transformation Plan: 3-Wk Assessment

Businesses should be addressing their Azure cloud architecture design from the perspective of the application. Taking a ‘top-down’ application led review, NTT helps with creating a roadmap to move applications into the Azure public cloud with an end-to-end transformation strategy based on business and technical criteria.

When a client doesn't have enough visibility of their applications to understand how to move them, NTT offers an application discovery workshop or deep-dive sprints within this Azure Cloud Transformation Plan engagement.

If the client has a few applications, a high-level discovery planning sprint may run first to make initial choices about the logical groups and order in which deeper transformation planning sprints are run.
