Azure Migration Assessment

Our Approach to Migration Success

Migrations follow a structured phase methodology to ensure a seamless transition to Azure: Inventory – Understanding Your IT Landscape Detailed Analysis – Validating Migration Potential Planning – Defining the Migration Roadmap

Phase 1: Inventory – Understanding Your IT Landscape

Workshop & Application Inventory: Conducting workshops with central IT to assess the application landscape. Prioritization of Quick Wins: Identifying applications with high migration potential for early success. CMDB-Based Documentation: Creating a structured migration inventory based on configuration management databases.

Phase 2: Detailed Analysis – Validating Migration Potential

Prioritized Deep-Dive Analysis: Conducting in-depth evaluations focusing on Quick Wins. Interviews with Key Stakeholders: Iterative sessions with server and application owners to gather insights. Consolidation of Findings: Structuring interview results and identifying key migration dependencies.

Phase 3: Planning – Defining the Migration Roadmap

Cost-Benefit Analysis: Evaluating modernization potential with PaaS services. Finalizing Target Design: Establishing the future architecture and defining key structural elements. Migration Timeline & Communication: Defining migration phases and aligning with business objectives.

Phase 4: Migration – Execution & Deployment (follow up activity)

Migration Environment Preparation: Setting up test and production migration environments. Scenario-Based Testing & Documentation: Defining and validating test cases for migration success. Migration Execution & Optimization: Using the CS Migration Runbook for structured execution and monitoring.

Phase 5: Hyper-Care – Ensuring Stability Post-Migration (follow up activity)

Testing & Go-Live Transition: Conducting structured testing before transitioning workloads to production. On-Premises Decommissioning: Phasing out legacy resources after successful migration. Performance Optimization & Documentation: Evaluating post-migration improvements and fine-tuning workloads.
