What is Azure migration consulting?
Azure migration consulting helps organizations move workloads to Microsoft Azure — from on-premises Windows Server and SQL Server environments, other clouds, or legacy data centers. Azure partners specialize in .NET application modernization, hybrid cloud with Azure Arc, and enterprise integrations with Microsoft 365 and Dynamics.
Leading Azure migration partners hold Microsoft Solutions Partner for Infrastructure or Azure Expert MSP designations. Azure's strong enterprise positioning makes it the natural choice for organizations already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Azure migration consulting cost? +
Typical costs: Assessment and planning $30K-$80K, mid-size migration $200K-$600K, enterprise migration $1M-$5M+. .NET app modernization adds $50K-$200K per application. Hourly rates range from $175-$400 depending on partner tier and specialization.
What's the best approach for migrating .NET apps to Azure? +
Options by complexity: Rehost to Azure VMs (fastest, lowest risk), re-platform to Azure App Service or AKS (moderate effort, cloud benefits), or refactor to microservices on Azure Functions/Container Apps (highest effort, best long-term ROI). Most partners recommend a portfolio approach — different strategies for different applications.
Should I choose an Azure Expert MSP partner? +
Azure Expert MSP is Microsoft's highest managed services validation. These partners have audited operations, proven automation, and dedicated Azure practices. For production workloads and enterprise environments, this designation provides meaningful assurance of operational maturity.
How long does Azure migration take? +
Assessment: 4-8 weeks. Pilot migration: 4-6 weeks. Full migration: 3-12+ months depending on scope. .NET modernization typically adds 2-6 months. Hybrid cloud setups (Azure Arc, ExpressRoute) require 6-12 weeks for infrastructure. Most partners recommend a 90-day proof of value before committing to full migration.
