Insyto evaluates workload suitability, target architecture, governance, security and operating requirements before an Azure investment or migration. The result is a decision framework and roadmap, not a migration or managed-operations package.
Evidence and priorities guide the next decision; deployment is a separate scope.
When this engagement is useful
Technology leaders planning an Azure move, expanding an inconsistent estate or deciding which workloads should be modernized, migrated, retained or retired.
Cloud adoption has started without an agreed target architecture or governance model.
Workload dependencies and suitability are unclear before migration funding.
Cost expectations rely on infrastructure estimates without operational assumptions.
Security, platform and application teams disagree about future ownership.
What Insyto reviews
We combine workload and stakeholder evidence to define practical architecture principles, migration priorities and operating decisions. Detailed engineering and migration execution follow under separate scopes.

Business portfolio and current estate
Business and cloud readiness
Connect cloud decisions to business constraints and expected outcomes.
Business drivers, deadlines and risk tolerance
Current skills, delivery dependencies and organizational readiness
Success measures and decisions requiring executive approval
Applications, data and infrastructure
Workload suitability
Assess which disposition is appropriate for each in-scope workload.
Dependencies, technical constraints and support requirements
Migration, modernization, retention or retirement options
Wave sequencing and prerequisites requiring deeper discovery
Azure architecture and landing-zone principles
Target platform and governance
Define direction for subscriptions, connectivity, access and policy.
Platform topology, identity and network principles
Governance, tagging, policy and resource ownership
Security baseline and workload responsibility boundaries
Azure cost assumptions and operations
Cost and operating model
Make financial assumptions visible alongside support and governance needs.
Utilization inputs and major cost drivers
Rightsizing, commitment and licensing considerations
Platform, application, security and managed-service ownership
Evidence behind the assessment
The strategy draws on agreed application inventory, dependency and utilization evidence, existing Azure configuration where present, security requirements, cost assumptions and interviews with platform and workload owners. Unknown dependencies remain explicit planning risks.
Strategy findings are based on the workloads and evidence reviewed. Detailed application remediation, final migration design, performance testing and production changes require separate delivery work.
Business questions the engagement answers
Which workloads belong in Azure, and why?
What target platform is required before migration begins?
Which cost assumptions need validation before approval?
Who will own platform, workload and security responsibilities after migration?
What your team receives
The final materials separate observed findings, assumptions and decisions so leadership and delivery teams can act on the same record.
Cloud-readiness findings and documented planning assumptions.
Workload disposition and migration-priority recommendations.
Target architecture and landing-zone direction at strategy level.
Governance, security and operating-model recommendations.
A sequenced cloud roadmap with dependencies and decision gates.
What the findings mean
Each workload recommendation states why to migrate, modernize, retain or retire it, what platform prerequisites it depends on and which owner must approve the next step. Cost ranges and landing-zone direction remain planning inputs until detailed design validates them.
How the engagement works
01
Define business decisions
Agree drivers, constraints, stakeholders, workloads and the financial and operational questions the strategy must answer.
Present architecture principles, workload recommendations and a roadmap with dependencies and decision gates.
Configuration changes, deployments, migrations and recurring administration are not included automatically. Those activities begin only under an approved implementation or managed-service scope.
From findings to implementation and operations
Consulting identifies decisions and priorities. The next engagement depends on the findings; it is not predetermined by the assessment.
Examine wider identity, endpoint and detection dependencies where cloud strategy exposes cross-environment risk.
Connection to AI-Ready Data Foundation
Azure may support a governed data foundation, but data architecture and AI readiness are separate decisions requiring their own discovery and solution scope.
Explore the separate comparative cost exercise that can support, but does not replace, a broader cloud strategy.
Azure architecture and governance are the platform context for the strategy; implementation is scoped separately. Explore Microsoft technology
