Cloud Readiness Assessment

Cloud Readiness Assessment


business challenge


To benefit most from the wave of cloud computing sweeping over IT departments, you need to ask a number of important questions, such as: which parts of my IT are cloud ready, and how do I begin? What impact will cloud computing have on my IT platforms and  data centers? And how can I manage hybrid IT environments, including legacy and cloud services?

our solution


Cloud Readiness Assessment will help you find the answers. The service provides an initial analysis of the real potential of cloud computing for your organization and outlines the best migration scenarios accounting for usage, technical considerations, application lifecycle, performance, security and legal constraints.
We also supply a transition roadmap, identifying the applications that it makes sense to migrate to the cloud, such as those that realize benefits most quickly. Cloud Readiness Assessment is being launched first in Europe and then in the rest of the world.

our approach


Cloud Readiness Assessment is the entry-level service in our Professional cloud services portfolio, which has been designed to support you through your entire cloud journey, including:
  • initial strategic planning
  • change management
