In the App Modernization Guidance for Azure, assessment means taking a close look at your digital estate. The term comes from the Cloud Adoption Framework and refers to the IT assets you own. Everything starts with a thorough assessment of your organization’s new and old applications, data, and infrastructure.
This information helps you devise a modernization plan that aligns with your business objectives. Assessment sets the stage for an efficient transition to modern, scalable, and agile applications.
Objectives of assessment
Assessment shows you where to start your journey. Your main objectives are to:
- Survey your existing digital estate and look for opportunities to modernize.
- Assess costs.
- Assess your organizational readiness
Expected outcomes of assessment
- A complete inventory of your digital estate.
- A fully realized business plan and cost analysis for application modernization.
Impact and ROI during assessment
A thorough assessment shows you where to start and what your organization can realistically achieve. Although assessment activities aren’t direct revenue generators, they set the stage for the benefits to come.
Assessment is crucial for ensuring a secure, compliant, and efficient transition to modern, scalable, and agile applications. The steps you take now can have a significant business impact later as you uncover inefficiencies and identify opportunities for transformation.
