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

TCO/ROI and regulatory compliance, risks to be addressed and next steps.
