Migrating to Azure

The path to successful cloud adoption can be complex for many enterprises as it requires more than the typical technology deployment stages.

Successful cloud adoption requires deeper and broader transformations across an organisation, including setting up business plans and expectations, process updates, and technical readiness.

AC3’s migration journey is based on Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure.

This Framework has been designed to help organisations create and implement the business and technology strategies necessary to succeed in the cloud. It provides best practices, documentation and tools that cloud architects, IT professionals and business decision makers need to achieve their short- and long-term objectives.
