Microsoft Azure.

You’ve no doubt already considered the benefits of infrastructure and service modernisation in the cloud. You gain the flexibility you need for your application scenarios without the need for additional hardware and expertise, pay exactly for what you use, and scale services to meet your needs. Alongside purely virtual machines with over 600 services, Azure offers dedicated resources that can tackle tasks faster, more affordably, more efficiently and more securely. The cloud gives SMEs the same possibilities as large corporations.

Bechtle is by your side on your way to the cloud, offering advice on the selection and implementation of the Azure resources that meet your specific needs, debunking myths surrounding the perceived loss of control with cloud computing, and showing you how you can make your Azure environment more secure than your on-prem one.

The Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) provides a structured approach to help organizations successfully adopt Azure and integrate it into their existing IT environment. It brings together proven methodologies, best practices, and tools to support informed decision-making throughout the entire cloud journey.

The Cloud Adoption Framework organizes guidance into a set of core phases that collectively support organizations in planning and executing their cloud strategy.

The initial phases Strategy, Plan, Ready, and Adopt, focus on defining business goals, preparing the organization, and deploying workloads in Azure.

These stages are typically iterative and evolve as cloud adoption progresses.

Once workloads are running in Azure, the framework continues with Govern, Secure, and Manage, which address ongoing operations. These areas ensure that the cloud environment remains compliant, secure, and continuously optimized over time.
