Our Post-Assessment Professional Services are designed to bridge the gap between insight and execution, guiding you from strategy to tangible cloud outcomes.
Post-Assessment Professional Services – Accelerating Your Azure Journey Introduction Completing an Azure Migrate or Cloud Readiness Assessment is a significant first step toward cloud adoption. It provides a clear understanding of your current IT estate, workload dependencies, cost models, and migration feasibility.
However, a readiness assessment alone does not move workloads, modernise applications, or operationalise cloud capabilities. To unlock the full benefits of Azure, organisations need structured post-assessment support—from prioritising workloads to implementing governance, security, and operational best practices.
Our Post-Assessment Professional Services are designed to bridge the gap between insight and execution, guiding you from strategy to tangible cloud outcomes. Service Overview Following your Azure Migrate or Cloud Readiness Assessment, we provide tailored, hands-on assistance to: Validate Findings & Refine the Migration Roadmap Build a Secure and Compliant Landing Zone Plan and Execute Workload Migrations Optimise Costs and Performance in Azure Operationalise and Manage the Cloud Environment
Our approach is outcome-driven, ensuring that the migration is not just a technical exercise, but a business transformation aligned to your strategic goals. Detailed Capabilities
Reassess identified workload dependencies to confirm readiness and avoid migration surprises. Business Priority Mapping
Align migration priorities with business imperatives—whether it’s cost reduction, agility, scalability, or compliance. Roadmap Refinement
Develop a phased migration plan with clear timelines, success criteria, and milestone checkpoints. TCO & ROI Modelling
Use refined data to update cost models and cloud ROI projections. Outcome: A confirmed, business-aligned migration plan with reduced risk and clear financial insight. 2. Landing Zone Design & Deployment A secure, well-architected Azure Landing Zone is essential for hosting workloads in compliance with organisational and industry standards. Architecture & Governance
Design Azure architecture aligned with Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) best practices. Security Baseline Implementation
Configure identity management (Entra ID), RBAC, network segmentation, and security controls. Compliance Readiness
Implement policies to meet ISO 27001, NIST, CIS, or industry-specific standards. Automation Enablement
Leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with ARM templates or Bicep for repeatable deployments. Outcome: A production-ready Azure foundation that is secure, compliant, and scalable. 3. Migration Execution Building on the validated plan and landing zone, we handle or assist with workload migrations. Workload Prioritisation
Select quick wins (low complexity) for early migration to build confidence and momentum. Migration Tools & Methods
Use Azure Migrate, Database Migration Service, and partner tooling for VMs, databases, and applications. Application Modernisation
Assess workloads for PaaS refactoring or containerisation to maximise cloud benefits. Testing & Cutover
Perform functional, performance, and security testing before production go-live. Outcome: Successful migration of priority workloads with minimal downtime and no data loss. 4. Cost & Performance Optimisation Azure offers flexibility, but without active management, costs can escalate and resources can be under-utilised. Cost Management & Budgets
Implement Azure Cost Management + Billing with budgets, alerts, and tagging for chargeback/showback. Right-Sizing & Reserved Instances
Analyse resource consumption to match workloads with optimal VM sizes, storage tiers, and commitment terms. Performance Tuning
Optimise network throughput, database queries, and application latency. Scaling Policies
Enable auto-scaling for workloads to align performance with demand. Outcome: An efficient Azure environment with predictable costs and optimal resource usage. 5. Operationalisation & Managed Support Post-migration, we ensure the environment is monitored, secure, and continuously improved. Security Operations Integration
Connect workloads to Microsoft Sentinel for SIEM, Defender for Cloud for posture management, and security playbooks. Monitoring & Alerts
Implement Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights for proactive health checks. Backup & DR Strategy
Configure Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery (ASR) for resilience. Managed CSOC Option
Provide 24/7 security monitoring, incident response, and threat hunting. Knowledge Transfer
Train internal teams on governance, operations, and Azure best practices. Outcome: A fully operational, secure, and managed cloud environment. Engagement Approach We follow a proven engagement model to ensure rapid time-to-value: Discovery & Planning – Confirm assessment
