  • What is cloud readiness?

    Before you migrate to the cloud, you need to know that your applications and data are ready. And to know this, you need a lot of detailed technical knowledge.

  • What is a cloud readiness assessment?

    A cloud readiness assessment is a critical stage in the migration process. It's when you or a cloud consultant thoroughly inspects your workloads and makes recommendations for your migration journey. This enables you to be confident that your migration journey will be as smooth and cost-effective as possible.

  • Why is cloud readiness important?

    If you migrate to the cloud before you're ready, you're creating work for yourself down the line – expensive work. Too often, businesses are faced with a bill that's far costlier than they anticipated. 


    By undergoing a thorough cloud readiness assessment, you significantly reduce the chances of this happening.
