Cloud Readiness Assessment (CRA)
){kind=logo}
What Is the Cloud Readiness Assessment?
The Espria Cloud Readiness Assessment (CRA) is a structured engagement designed to help organisations understand whether Microsoft Azure is the right fit for their infrastructure, applications and long term strategy.
It blends technical discovery with business context to give you a clear, actionable roadmap for cloud success, before you invest time or budget into migration.
The Benefits
Migrating to Azure can unlock agility, security, innovation and cost efficiency, but only if your workloads, architecture and governance model are truly ready. The CRA helps you:
- Validate what should migrate, what shouldn’t and in what order
- Understand potential risks, blockers, and dependencies
- Forecast realistic Azure costs using live usage data
- The CRA delivers the foundational Azure Landing Zone blueprint as part of the Azure Migrate Deployment.
The result: clarity, confidence and a futureproof foundation for cloud transformation.
What the Assessment Includes
Our experts combine workshops, technical tools and architectural best practices to assess key areas of readiness:
Technical & Infrastructure Review
- Current servers, workloads, applications and interdependencies
- Identity, connectivity and security landscape.
Business & Strategy Review
- Organisation’s goals, compliance requirements and budget considerations
- Suitability for Azure services and recommended architecture patterns.
Azure Migrate Data Collection
We deploy Azure Migrate to capture live utilisation across CPU, memory, disk and performance metrics; ensuring accurate sizing and cost modelling.
