Node4's Azure Cloud Readiness Assessment helps organizations prepare for cloud migration by combining Microsoft's guidance with Node4's experience. The assessment evaluates various aspects, including business strategy, partner support, inventory, migration plan, technical skills, landing zone environment, and governance. A Node4 Cloud Consultant guides you through a series of questions to create a report that identifies areas for improvement across ten dimensions.
The assessment provides several key benefits, such as accelerated cloud transformation, improved understanding of the cloud journey, and a clear view of your organization's cloud readiness. It also analyzes potential risks, offers recommendations for improvement (including cost optimization), aligns cloud adoption with Microsoft's best practices, and provides access to certified Azure architects for expert advice.
The engagement involves a workshop, remote report creation, and a playback session delivered over Microsoft Teams. Node4 utilizes Microsoft tools, but the primary value comes from the interaction with Node4 consultants and their experience in migrating clients to the cloud. The final report outlines maturity across ten dimensions and provides clear next steps for remediation.
