How can I speed up moving my apps
to Azure?
Sometimes it can be confusing to know whether you should migrate or modernize apps. The reality is that you will most likely need to do both—and it depends on the app. We can work with you to determine the best path forward.
Why migrate to Azure
Azure supports all approaches and business priorities
Infrastructure as a Service
Retain full control over the operating system in a cloud migration
Platform as a Service
Offload infrastructure and operating system management to the cloud
Containers
Manage and scale containerized applications with ease
Low code
Create modern line of business apps with
minimal coding
