Azure migration and modernization center
Let's go forward, together. Get resources at every stage of your cloud migration strategy and modernization journey, including tools and guidance to help you move, manage, and secure all your workloads.
Future-proof your business by moving to Azure
The global pandemic demonstrated that to face unexpected challenges, organizations need to be agile and resilient.
By moving to Azure, you'll be able to innovate in new ways by adopting a cloud operations based model on infrastructure as a service (IaaS) technologies. Additionally, you’ll be able to take advantage of further opportunities for innovation by modernizing with fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) offerings.
For detailed guidance on Azure migration, check out these how-to videos.
The cloud migration and modernization continuum
Cloud migration and modernization is a continuous process with opportunities for innovation and flexibility at every stage. Many organizations begin with an IaaS migration of their workloads to take advantage of cloud benefits right away, while others begin with PaaS offerings to increase agility and developer productivity. No matter which approach you begin with, you’ll be able to start innovating in new ways right away, and you can always adopt new IaaS or PaaS capabilities anytime.
