At Truis, we’re dedicated to aligning IT solutions with your business objectives. We take the time to understand your unique challenges and objectives, exploring how technology can create new opportunities.
Our Microsoft Azure Solutions Assessment provides a clear roadmap, helping you to understand your current state and how to future-proof your infrastructure so you can make the most of the benefits that present themselves. Whether you’re looking to migrate soon or just reviewing your options, an Assessment will give you the detailed insights you need to evaluate your next steps.
The past five years have shown us that the environment we operate in can change in an instant —and it’s often our infrastructure that determines whether we can keep up. Rapid changes in consumer expectations and the demand for flexible, remote operations mean that workloads and resource requirements are always shifting.
Many of our customers are finding that traditional on-premises infrastructure doesn’t always meet the ever-evolving needs of their business. Staffing challenges, rising hardware and licensing costs, and limited flexibility are impacting operations and restricting their ability to respond to new challenges and solve big problems.
Part of what we love to do at Truis is to empower our clients in making a real impact in their field—cloud services play a major role in this. We recently supported a healthcare organisation to enhance their communication and service delivery by migrating from on-premises systems to Azure. By moving to a cloud-based service, they were able to enhance their internal data sharing and communication, which allowed them to deliver a significantly enhanced service for their clients and ultimately improved the lives of patients.
This is where our Azure Solutions Assessment goes beyond just a technical specification—we take the time to dive into your business and highlight the potential benefits a public cloud or hybrid cloud solution presents.
For many of our clients, one of the key motivators for a cloud migration is the financial benefit—our in-depth assessment often reveals the potential for cost savings by optimising your infrastructure. When they invest in hardware, many businesses—quite rightly—structure themselves for growth. However, this often results in the over-provision of on-premises resources—sometimes by up to 80%. Transitioning to Azure allows you to scale your IT infrastructure and resources up or down as your business needs change, ensuring you only pay for what you actually use. The first step to achieving this is understanding what your organisation needs now, before we look to the future.
Before deciding if cloud migration is right for you, it’s crucial to understand your current IT landscape. Our Assessment Report provides a comprehensive overview of your environment, including over or under-provisioned resources, along with our tailored recommendations. We also take the opportunity to ensure that disaster recovery and business continuity plans are in place, and show how Azure can play a role in these.
With financial savings being a key motivator for many organisations, we outline all relevant costs, including estimated expenses for cloud hosting, migration, and ongoing management. We also identify avenues to consolidate or reduce licensing costs through the migration process, as well as highlighting any other short and long-term financial benefits.
We know it can be helpful to compare apples with apples, so where a change in resourcing is recommended, we provide a comparison of your existing infrastructure costs versus running the same in the cloud—a direct ‘lift and shift’—so you can clearly analyse the benefits of change.
A full cloud migration isn’t always the ideal scenario for every business. During our assessment, we explore various scenarios to determine the best fit for your goals and operational needs. For some, key workloads or platforms may perform better on-premises. We often combine cloud and on-premises solutions—a hybrid cloud—to deliver the best solution. We also offer managed services for both environments, providing initial assessments, coordinating implementation and migration, and delivering ongoing support.
If you’re contemplating a move to the cloud or assessing your readiness, we’re here to help. Our no-cost, no-obligation Azure Assessment will provide valuable insights into your current situation and the opportunities available for your business, whether you’re ready now or planning for the future.
