How long does a cloud readiness assessment take?

Most assessments complete within two to four weeks depending on the size and complexity of your environment.

Do I have to migrate after the assessment?

No. The assessment is independent; it equips you to decide whether, when, and how to migrate.

Will the assessment disrupt our systems?

No. Our discovery tools run non-intrusively and do not affect your production workloads.

Does it cover security and compliance?

Yes. We evaluate your security posture and UAE data-residency requirements as a core part of the review.

Which cloud platforms do you assess for?

We assess readiness for Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Microsoft 365, and remain vendor-neutral in our recommendations.

Know Exactly What's Ready for the Cloud — Before You Move

Al Sadq IT Solutions LLC evaluates your applications, infrastructure, security and data before any migration begins. The result is a clear, evidence-based picture of what can move to the cloud, what needs re-work, and what it will cost — so you avoid the failed migrations, surprise bills and downtime that come from moving blind.

The Challenge

Business Problems We Solve

Unknown dependencies

Hidden links between apps and servers cause outages when systems are moved in isolation.

Runaway cloud bills

Lifting workloads without right-sizing leads to costs far higher than expected.

Legacy apps that won't move

Some old applications simply aren't cloud-ready and need re-work or replacement first.

Security & compliance gaps

Moving data before checking controls risks breaching UAE data and regulatory rules.

No clear business case

Leadership won't fund a migration without solid cost, risk and benefit figures.

Fear of downtime

Without a plan, teams worry a migration will disrupt customers and operations.

How We Work

A Structured Evaluation, Not Guesswork

1. Inventory

We catalogue every application, server, workload and integration you run.

2. Analyse

We assess performance, dependencies, security and cloud suitability for each.

3. Model

We estimate cloud cost, effort and risk, and choose a strategy per workload.

4. Recommend

We deliver a prioritised roadmap and business case you can act on with confidence.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cloud readiness assessment?

It is a structured evaluation of your applications, infrastructure, security and data to determine what is suitable for the cloud, what needs re-work, and the cost, risk and effort involved — completed before any migration starts.

Why not just start migrating straight away?

Migrating without an assessment is where hidden dependencies, unexpected costs and downtime come from. The assessment surfaces these issues on paper first, so the actual migration is faster, cheaper and far less risky.

How long does an assessment take?

It depends on the size of your estate, but most assessments are completed in a matter of weeks. We scope it to your environment during the first conversation and give you a clear timeline.

Do we have to migrate with you afterwards?

No. The assessment is a standalone deliverable you own. Many clients do choose us to run the migration, but the roadmap and business case are yours to use however you decide.

Will the assessment address UAE data compliance?

Yes. We review data residency, access controls and regulatory obligations as part of the security gap analysis, so compliance is considered before anything moves.
