How did this assessment come about?
10 years ago, Anuj found himself as the sole ‘Cloud Developer’ for a Fortune 50 company.

Some aspects that Anuj can help with, include:
- Cloud Migration Assessment, that covers your existing infrastructure and application portfolio.
- Lift and Shift of entire applications (Full lift and shift)
- Hybrid Lift and Shift – partial apps (wherein, certain tiers such as middleware or data tier reside on-prem)
- Containerized Lifts and Shifts, leveraging cloud container technologies
- Application Modernization (using refactoring for Microservices) based on refactoring and re-platforming prior to cloud migration.
- Applications, Directory Services and Infrastructure Apps – From large scale web applications on Elastic Beanstalk, Azure Web Apps and Google Compute Engine to AWS RDS, Redshift, Azure SQL and Azure Data Warehouse ; from Sharepoint Servers to Active Directory to Managed Directory Services in the cloud.
- Speciality toolset including AWS Migration Hub, Data Migration Service, Azure Site Recovery, Azure Import Export, CloudEndure and more.
