Whether to move to Azure, which workloads first, and what it costs, decided in two weeks.

A fixed-fee review for organisations still running mostly on-premises. You get a costed business case, a target platform decision, and a sequenced migration roadmap. Your team can start executing it the week after the readout.

Who it's for

  • Most of your estate still runs on-premises or in a datacentre, and a hardware refresh or an expiring contract is forcing the question.
  • You have been quoted for a cloud migration and cannot tell whether the number is right or what you are actually buying.
  • A previous IT project ran over budget, and you want a fixed scope and a fixed fee before you commit to anything larger.
  • Your board wants a cloud decision with a business case behind it, not another strategy workshop.
  • Your three-to-eight-person IT team keeps the running systems up and has no capacity to scope a migration on top.

Scope and format

Two weeks, remote. We read your current estate, the drivers behind the move, and the constraints that shape it: which workloads are candidates, where your data has to stay, and what your licensing already entitles you to. We model the three-year cost of moving against staying, and we sequence the move so the first workload is the one that returns the most for the least risk. Drawing on migration work that has moved more than 1,000 servers and over 300 applications to Azure. You give us read access to your current inventory and one point of contact. The review ends in a readout with the people who hold the budget.

What you get

Cloud business case

A three-year total cost of ownership model: moving to Azure against staying on-premises, with the assumptions written down so your finance team can check each figure.

Target platform decision

Whether Azure fits, the landing-zone shape it needs, and where your data sits, including the Azure region (for example Germany West Central) that meets your residency obligations.

Sequenced migration roadmap

The workloads in the order they should move, the dependencies between them, and the first wave scoped in detail.

Risk and compliance read

The GDPR Article 44 data-transfer and residency constraints that bound the move, and any sector obligations such as NIS2 incident reporting that change the target architecture.

Cost envelope

The expected monthly run-rate after the move, plus a note on Azure Hybrid Benefit and your Enterprise Agreement or MCA licensing position.

Readout session

A working session with your decision-makers to walk the business case and agree whether, and how, to proceed.

Pricing

A fixed fee of €6,500. You get the costed decision and the roadmap whether or not you go on to build.

Credit toward your build

The full fee is creditable against any Azure follow-on booked within eight weeks of the readout, whether that is a landing-zone build, a migration, or the AI-ready Azure platform.

Where your data sits

A remote review with read access to your current inventory and billing, scoped to the review and revoked on completion. No production data leaves your environment, and we sign your data processing agreement before kickoff.

Governance & compliance

  • Read access scoped to the inventory and billing the review needs, revoked on completion.
  • No changes to any running system during the review.
  • A signed data processing agreement before kickoff.
  • Data residency addressed by named Azure region, not a general assurance.

Common questions

How long does it take?

Two weeks, from access granted to the readout session.

How is this different from the Microsoft Landscape Assessment?

The Microsoft Landscape Assessment scores an estate you already run, across Azure, AI, and data. The Cloud Strategy Review is for the decision before that: whether to move to Azure at all, which workloads go first, and what the move costs. If you are already on Azure and want the estate scored, start with the landscape assessment.

What if we already know we are moving?

Then you may not need this. If the decision is made and you want the estate scored against the Well-Architected Framework, go to the Azure Architecture Review. If you want the move itself scoped and priced, we scope the migration directly.

Does the fee credit toward the build?

Yes. The full €6,500 is creditable against any Azure engagement you book within eight weeks of the readout, so the review is not a sunk cost if you proceed.

Do you look at AWS and Google Cloud too?

The review reads your estate against Azure, since that is where we build. Where a workload has a genuine reason to sit elsewhere, we say so in the roadmap rather than force it onto Azure.

Will we get a deck or a plan?

A plan. The roadmap names the workloads, the order, and the first wave in enough detail to start. The business case carries the numbers behind the decision. There is a readout to walk both, not a slide handoff.

Who actually runs the review?

The review runs as one engagement, from the first inventory read to the readout.

What do you need from us to start?

Read access to your current inventory and billing, and one point of contact. No production access, and no changes to running systems.
