If you’re considering a move to the cloud for your portfolio of applications, planning your journey just got a bit easier.  The next version of the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit—version 6.0— is now available for free download as part of the MAP 6.0 Beta Program. This new release includes the Windows Azure Migration Portfolio Analysis, which offers the ability to quantify and label applications and services in your organization’s IT environment to consider migrating to the Windows Azure platform.

• Catalog all of the applications in your environment
• Estimate the needed capacity to run your applications on the Windows Azure platform
• Evaluate applications based on migration difficulty
• Stack rank applications in terms of migration suitability
• Obtain a TCO-ROI analysis for the application

The MAP 6.0 Beta will also help you:

• Assess your client environment for Office 365 readiness
• Determine readiness for migration to Windows Internet Explorer 9
