Cloud Readiness Assessment

Who Should Start With A Cloud Readiness Assessment?

Team Working

This cloud readiness assessment is ideal if your organization:

• Relies on on-prem servers for applications, file shares, or Active Directory
‍
• Is considering Microsoft 365, cloud apps, or Azure but aren’t sure where to start.
‍
• Wants to modernize identity but aren’t ready to move to Microsoft Entra ID yet.
‍
• Needs visibility into application dependency, identity considerations, and security/ compliance risks.
‍

• Requires leadership-level clarity on scope, timeline, and budget before approval

Cloud Assessment Scope

What the Cloud Readiness Assessment Covers

We review the core areas of your environment to surface risks, dependencies, and readiness factors that inform a realistic cloud migration roadmap.

On-Premise Environment

We review servers, storage, and core infrastructure, including Active Directory dependencies, authentication flows, and backup, availability, and lifecycle considerations.

Applications & Dependencies

We assess line-of-business applications, workflows, and integration dependencies to identify legacy constraints that may limit or complicate cloud migration.

Security Posture (High-Level)

We identify identity and access risk areas, including MFA and conditional access readiness, as well as device and access assumptions that impact cloud adoption.

Identity & Access

We evaluate your current identity model and access patterns to determine readiness for modern identity controls and highlight risks related to legacy authentication.

Microsoft 365 & Cloud Readiness

We review collaboration and data structures, licensing alignment, and overall fit for cloud-native services or Azure where appropriate.

Migration Fit & Phasing

We determine what workloads can move now versus later, what may remain on-prem short-term, and where opportunities exist to retire or modernize systems.
