Are you ready to move your business applications,
WHAT THE CLOUD IS BRINGING YOU?
“These are the main benefits of migrating your business applications to the Cloud Readiness Assessment.”
1. TIME | How does the cloud save time?
You can get a new server in minutes—as opposed to months—with something like Azure Virtual machines. For example, if you’re using IBM Global outsource—it can take 1-6 months to get a server. That’s 6 months until you can go to market with your new business idea.
Saving time with the global, reliable scale with the cloud’s most DB, allows you to take unstructured data and share it around the world to build resiliency and lower latency in your app. You can also reduce the amount of time IT spends having to manually monitor and manage VMs using tools in Azure.
- Reduce time-consuming IT chores with monitoring and management tools
- Global, reliable scale with Cosmos DB
- New server availability from months to minutes with Azure virtual machines
2. CONFIDENCE | Why do you also want confidence?
You want to know that when you put your business in the cloud, it’ll always be available. With Azure Site Recovery, you can rest assured knowing we ensure business continuity. Azure Site Recovery allows you to replicate your business so that, if something happens, you can continue your business without any loss of time or money.

3. PERFORMANCE| Is your platform performing better than you?
For example, like engaging with your customer with more human touch using something like Azure Cognitive Services which allows you to connect with a customer from a visual, speech, or touch tool perspective. You can stay up to date with the latest Azure portal, so you never have to update the software yourself—all the latest and greatest tools are at your fingertips, all the time.
Lastly, you can simplify your devices with preconfigured solutions we have in our Azure IoT platform which allows you to take our performance and bring your business to another level.

Customers are seeing significant ROI by moving to Azure:
Microsoft commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study to examine the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by shifting some or all their management and operations from on-premises, hosted, and outsourced implementations to Azure’s infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offering – and the ROI enterprises may realize by shifting their application development and deployment to Azure platform-as-a-service (PaaS).
Benefits gained by interviewed customers that migrated or re-architected some or all workloads from on-premises to IaaS include:
- Greater revenue opportunities from business-to-business.
- Increased profits from those revenues.
