Plan for Success by Reimagining Your Applications in the Cloud

You likely spent hours contemplating that recent car purchase. Why spend even less time planning your cloud migration?

The journey to the cloud can be complex and expensive. Codify’s CloudLift service minimises complexity and costs by creating an IT portfolio-centric model of your existing infrastructure.

Minimise Complexity

Basing cloud migration plans on assumptions about your current architecture – for example, failing to exclude servers you plan to turn off before migrating – loses track of important detail in the planning, making it impossible to socialise later on.

Reduce Costs

Basing cloud migration plans on assumptions about your current architecture – for example, failing to exclude servers you plan to turn off before migrating – loses track of important detail in the planning, making it impossible to socialise later on.

From our application model, we’re able to produce multiple target state designs for your consideration – including commercial modeling for each that minimises future bill shock.

Greater Visibility

Our application-focused assessment offers greater insight, leading to actionable migration plans for your unique apps.

Custom Modeling

Codify examines your infrastructure and provides best-fit cloud modeling to help you avoid unexpected post-migration costs.

Migration Success

A CloudLift plan prevents migration challenges and unanticipated down-time that could slow you down and cost you money.

By developing migration plans that are more detailed than those produced by any other Microsoft Partner or tool, we’re able to help customers save up to 65% on their Azure consumption costs.

You can’t do that with a generic Azure calculator.

What is CloudLift?

CloudLift is an evidence-based assessment process that takes the ambiguity out of your cloud projects.

Discover

By deploying agents and having customers access our CloudLIft tool, we’re able to identify the applications that are critical to your organisation’s operations.

Analyse

Through a workshop led by Codify, we analyse your unique constellation of apps to identify modern, lean cloud solutions that’ll deliver the same level of service to your users.

Plan

Finally, you’ll receive multiple target state design recommendations based on your current cloud- preparedness and best-fit cloud migration strategies.

CloudLIft assessments generally last 3-5 weeks and deliver an executive summary, bill of materials and access to the CloudLift website after the engagement.

“Instead of having to read a PDF or look at a spreadsheet and try to understand how that fits to actually running services on-the-ground, Codify’s tool showed all the services we deliver with a view to the applications we had and were delivering to our customers – and how they might be delivered on an Azure product. The transparency was amazing.”

How CloudLift Saves You Money

When planning for a cloud migration, Codify uses the industry standard ‘Six Cloud Migration Strategies’, commonly referred to as the ‘6Rs’. Customers enjoy immediate ROI from the process, as CloudLift makes it easy to identify apps that can be retired in order to save money in your current infrastructure.

Is CloudLift Right for Your Organisation?

CloudLift outlines your path to the cloud. It’s a great choice if you’re:

  • Facing the end of your hardware’s useful life
  • Coming to the end of a restrictive, multi-year hosting contract
  • Running up against internal or external pressures to change your procurement models
  • Looking to modernise your cloud operations
  • Seeking to move from a reactionary position to being more visionary about your applications and solutions

Codify can help you determine whether migrating to Microsoft Azure Cloud is the right choice for your organisation.

As members of Microsoft’s Solution Assessments & Azure Accelerate Program, we may even be able to access funding programs that can offset some or all of the cost of your CloudLift assessment.
