Cloud Readiness Assessment

What is Cloud Readiness Assessment?

A cloud readiness assessment is a process used to determine an organization's ability to move to the cloud, including the level of preparedness of existing workloads and assets.

For a successful and smooth cloud migration, it is recommended for organizations, whether they are migrating their IT infrastructure or applications, to conduct a cloud assessment. This process helps to create a cloud environment that meets the specific needs of the organization.

Readiness Assessment Important?

A cloud readiness assessment is an important step in the cloud migration process as it provides a clear understanding of an organization's strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. It also helps organizations identify potential risks and challenges associated with cloud migration and provides recommendations for addressing these issues.

The assessment provides organizations with a roadmap for cloud migration and helps them plan and execute the migration process effectively.

To allow organizations gain value from cloud computing initiatives while addressing compliance concerns, Locuz offers Cloud Readiness Assessment. Through this assessment, organizations can identify sensitive or regulated content and notify key stakeholders including compliance officers, company executives, and administrators of any at-risk content. Once the initial assessment is complete, a best practices approach is outlined to separate regulated and non-regulated content or workloads, and subsequently migrate appropriate content to the cloud.

Cloud Readiness Assessment includes interactive consultations with stakeholders to determine business practices, goals, and opportunities. What we cover in our assessment.
