AIM 3-Day Azure Migration Assessment
AIM provides a structured 3-day Azure Migration Assessment designed to evaluate workload readiness, identify risks, and define a secure, cost-optimized migration roadmap to Microsoft Azure.
This fixed-scope professional engagement delivers a comprehensive readiness review aligned with Microsoft Azure best practices and the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF).
The assessment helps organizations clearly understand:
- What workloads can migrate
- How they should migrate
- What risks exist
- Estimated Azure costs
- Required governance and security controls
This engagement does not include migration execution. It delivers a clear migration plan and executive-ready roadmap.
