Migrating to a cloud platform like Azure is no longer an option, but a must for every organization to survive and thrive. Yet for most small to medium-sized business owners and decision makers, a potential move raises many concerns and questions like: Will it be costly? Will it disrupt my business? Is it secure? What will this cloud journey look like?  \nThis guide is designed to give you clarity and confidence for that journey ahead. But first, let’s start by telling you why migrating to the cloud means moving to more.  \nMore cost effectiveness  \nPay only for what you use with Azure. Quickly adapt and scale to your changing needs, easily manage and track usage of your cloud consumption.  \nMore resilience  \nMinimize downtime and risks with Azure, which ensures your data and applications stay available without an expensive infrastructure.  \nMore flexibility  \nMigrate any or all of your business applications on your timeline. With Azure, it’s perfectly fine to dip your toes into cloud migration before diving headfirst into full workload migration.  \nMore security  \nStay ahead of new and evolving threats with Azure. Safeguard your applications and data with compliance coverage and unmatched security management.  \nNow, it’s no longer a question of why your business should migrate to the cloud. It’s a question of how best to achieve it.  \nStart your  \ncloud migration journey  \nThousands of businesses like yours have successfully migrated to Azure following the four steps below. Along with our tools and partners, Microsoft is here to guide and support you every step of the way.  \nStep 1: Assess  \nDiscover and evaluate your on-premises apps, data and infrastructure to help you map their dependencies and decide their priority for cloud migration.  \nStep 2: Migrate and Modernize  \nMove your apps, data and infrastructure confidently using free, powerful tools that will guide your through and automate the cloud migration journey while minimizing downtime.  \nStep 3: Optimize  \nMaximize your ROI in Azure with free cost-management tools to streamline your cloud resources, enhance security and improve performance.  \nStep 4: Secure and Manage  \nCreate a secure foundation with unified security management and advanced threat protection of Azure to protect your business against rapidly evolving threats.  \n3  \nStep 1  \nAssess  \nUnderstanding your starting point is the first step forward. Assess the current applications and infrastructure that your business runs on, in order to gain knowledge of the challenges, costs and complexity ahead.  \nCreate a cloud migration plan  \nMoving to the cloud takes a lot of planning. Start by knowing what you want from such a migration, and assessing your current IT infrastructure against the objectives you have. As your cloud platform partner, Microsoft Azure can help you bridge this gap. Gain insights about your environment and dependencies with our automated migration tools.  \nSee how much you can save  \nEvaluate the potential cost savings from migrating your workloads to Azure with our TCO calculator. It only takes a few minutes to get your assessment, which will help you calculate and compare your total cost of ownership for Azure with that of a comparable on-premise deployment.  \nCalculate your Azure TCO now.  \nGet everyone on board  \nCloud migration is more than an IT decision. It’s an organizational decision that requires broad change and support. Be sure to include key stakeholders across all departments from the start. Reaching consensus before you migrate will only make the journey smoother.  \n4  \nStep 1: Access  \nDiscover and evaluate your apps  \nNow that you’ve got the support from your organization, it’s time for your IT team to roll up their sleeves and take stock of the physical and virtual servers in your environment.
