Assessment & planning
Inspect the source estate, map application dependencies and identify the right treatment for each workload. Agree migration groups, costs and acceptance criteria.

ON-PREMISES TO AZURE
Move to Azure.
With a plan for what follows.
Bring your workloads to Azure with their dependencies, business continuity and ongoing operations considered from the start.
Start with the source environment, business drivers and a defined migration scope.
FROM CURRENT ESTATE TO TARGET PLATFORM
Make each move a considered one.
Whether you are leaving a data centre or moving a defined on-premises workload, the migration plan follows your environment and business priorities.
Architecture & implementation
Design the Azure foundation and agreed connectivity, identity and recovery arrangements. Implement infrastructure and automation appropriate to the migration.
Cutover & operations
Validate in an agreed test environment, define the cutover window and rollback conditions, and hand over monitoring, documentation and operational ownership.
AGREE THE PRACTICAL DETAILS
A clear route through the migration.
The source workload, dependencies and acceptable disruption determine the plan. We establish these before committing to a cutover.
What we agree together
- Source, target and dependencies
Applications, data, infrastructure and integrations in scope, plus components that will remain on-premises. Confirm access, licensing, connectivity and Azure costs.
- Testing and change decisions
Validation criteria, recovery requirements, migration waves, change windows, rollback procedures and named go/no-go owners.
- Handover and support
Documented target configuration, monitoring and runbooks, with any post-migration support window and ongoing responsibilities agreed in advance.
BEFORE WE START
Useful answers.
Can you migrate an existing on-premises environment?
Yes. We assess the source infrastructure, applications and dependencies, then define a suitable Azure target and migration approach. The exact workloads, tools and responsibilities form part of the agreed scope.
Does every workload need to move?
No. We assess the business case and dependencies for each workload. Some can move, some need changes first, and some may stay on-premises as part of a hybrid arrangement.
Can you guarantee zero downtime?
Downtime depends on the workload, replication options, dependencies and cutover method. We agree acceptable disruption and recovery requirements, then validate the proposed approach before the production change.
What happens after migration?
We hand over the agreed documentation and operating procedures. Monitoring, cost reviews, remediation and ongoing support can be included in a defined follow-on scope.
