What is the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework?

Moving workloads and applications to the cloud can be complex and time-consuming. Some workloads will have unique requirements, and not all will be suited to a cloud environment. Without the right plan in place, it’s easy to end up paying more than you should. Our Azure Cloud Adoption Framework is designed to simplify and streamline the process through which you evaluate, migrate and manage the overall migration process in your organisation. It involves six key steps which we have outlined below, and our expert consultants are here to help at every stage.
