What it is

Objectives

  • Get a clear view of the current state across strategy, architecture, security, governance and operations.
  • Identify risks, inefficiencies and optimization opportunities in how you use the cloud.
  • Establish a solid foundation — landing zone and operating model — aligned with industry standards.
  • Define a prioritized action plan toward a scalable, secure and cost-efficient cloud model.
  • Align technology adoption with business goals to maximize return on investment.

Frequently asked questions

How is it different from the IT Ops assessment?

IT Ops focuses on IT processes and operations. Cloud Foundation looks at your cloud holistically — strategy, governance, architecture, operations and security — and delivers landing zone and operating model guidelines.

Is it useful if we're not on Azure yet?

Yes. One of its goals is to reduce risk and time in cloud adoption, whether you're starting your migration or expanding what you already run in the cloud.

What do we receive at the end?

A maturity diagnosis, identified gaps and risks, prioritized recommendations, landing zone and governance guidelines, and a 30-, 60- and 90-day and long-term roadmap.
