Overview

We have partnered with Microsoft to develop a streamlined approach for getting your data and analytics platform deployed to Azure in weeks, not months. We invite you to simplify and accelerate your cloud journey by leveraging our proven processes, industry-leading experts, and deep partnership with Microsoft.

These engagements are designed to demonstrate cloud agility by modernizing a strategic component of your overall Data & Analytics infrastructure in 30 days. If you’re already using Azure, we’ll work to provision resources and implement a data platform within your existing framework. If you’re still working out a longer-term cloud migration plan, we would love to help with that in parallel, but it does not need to slow down the data platform effort. We can provision your platform in a production-like environment, hosted on your subscription or ours, and easily move it into production when ready.

Step 1: Assess and Plan

Infrastructure discovery and discussion of your objectives to help us assess the appropriate resources for your needs, define a Proof of Concept (PoC), and estimate the associated Azure costs.
