Discover capacity needs, operational expenditure and performance requirements, before you start your journey to the Cloud.

Why Cloud-Readiness Assessments are crucial:

If you are you thinking about moving to the Cloud, but need to understand how ready your business is, MRI’s consultants will help you identify the options, risks & benefits of moving to Cloud, so you can pinpoint the direction for your cloud journey.

• 83% have a lack of Cloud skills & resource
• 61% struggle to recruit the right people
• 79% have no defined Cloud policy/strategy
