- 1-2 hours of your time with an Eastridge consultant
- A comprehensive report that:
- Outlines a high-level strategy for your unique organization and the cloud
- Delivers insight on whether to migrate to the cloud, and if so how best to make the switch
- Reviews privacy and security considerations
- Assesses the impact of Cloud Computing on custom applications
- Defines the different information worker groups in your organization and how/if to move them to cloud computing
- Uncovers additional funding opportunities from Microsoft for Cloud Computing Proof of Concepts
Microsoft has aggressive funding programs in place that may pay for portions of assessments or deployments. Please contact us today for more information.
