Design and Migrate

Cloud Solution Design

Before a single workload moves, you get a written picture of what you run today, what it should look like on Azure, what it will cost to operate and in what order it should happen. No work begins on a verbal estimate.

What this includes

  • Current-state assessment

    An inventory of the servers, applications, files and dependencies you actually rely on — including the ones nobody documented.

  • Target environment design

    A documented Azure design covering subscriptions, networking, identity, storage and backup, sized to your organization rather than to an enterprise template.

  • Landing zone setup

    The governed foundation your workloads land in: naming, tagging, policy, role assignments and cost boundaries, set once and set correctly.

  • Well-Architected review

    Your existing environment measured against Microsoft's reliability, security, cost, operations and performance pillars, with every gap ranked.

  • Cost modelling and licensing review

    What the target environment costs each month, which reserved and benefit options apply, and where current spend is going to waste.

  • Migration roadmap

    Sequence, dependencies, cutover windows and rollback points, agreed in writing before any work starts.

Not sure which of these you need?

Most organizations are not, at the start. Describe what is not working today and we will tell you which of these areas it actually falls into — including when the answer is that you do not need us.
