Azure Consulting and Migration Services
Plan, move and modernize workloads on Microsoft Azure with a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Infrastructure.
Plan your move to Azure
HabileLabs plans and runs moves to Microsoft Azure. We start with a roadmap and target architecture, then migrate the workloads, then modernize the ones that need it: containers, managed databases and automated deployments. We are a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Azure Infrastructure, Data & AI and Digital & App Innovation.
What Holds Azure Migrations Back
Most migrations stall before the first server moves. The usual reasons:
- Servers or a data center contract nearing end of life, with no agreed plan for what replaces them
- No target architecture or landing zone, so each workload is moved a different way
- Worry about downtime at cutover for the systems the business runs on
- Windows Server and SQL Server licenses that could carry over through Azure Hybrid Benefit, but nobody has checked
- Applications that will cost more on Azure unless they are changed
A readiness assessment answers these before anything moves.
What You Get from an Azure Migration
A Roadmap You Can Approve
Every workload listed with its move approach, its place in the order of work and its expected cost on Azure.
A Landing Zone Built First
Networking, identity, security and governance set up before any workload arrives.
Planned Cutovers
Each move scheduled with a rollback plan, so the business knows when systems change.
Licenses Used Well
Existing Windows Server and SQL Server licenses checked for Azure Hybrid Benefit before you buy new ones.
Applications Ready for the Cloud
Workloads that need it modernized with containers, managed databases and automated deployments.
A Clear Handover
Documentation for your team, or day-to-day operations through Managed Azure Services.
Read our Azure migration guides first
Our guides cover Microsoft's migration tools, how to plan the order of work, and how Azure compares with AWS for small and mid-sized businesses.
Who Azure Migration Is For
A planned move to Azure pays off most in these situations.
Data Center Exits
Hardware or a hosting contract is ending and the workloads need a new home.
Windows and SQL Server Estates
Businesses running Microsoft workloads on premises that want them on Azure.
Microsoft 365 Customers
Teams already on Microsoft 365 and Entra ID that want their infrastructure in the same place.
Growing Applications
Applications that have outgrown their servers and need to scale without new hardware.
Regulated Industries
Financial services and healthcare teams that need security and compliance controls designed in from the start.
Software Companies and ISVs
Product teams that want cloud-native development pipelines on Azure.
How We Work
Every migration follows four stages, and you sign off each one before the next starts.
-
Assess: we list your servers, applications, databases and their dependencies, and check which licenses can carry over.
-
Plan: we choose a move approach for each workload (rehost, replatform or modernize), design the landing zone, and agree the order of moves.
-
Migrate: we move workloads in waves using Azure Migrate, testing each one before cutover.
-
Optimize: we right-size what moved, set budgets and alerts, and modernize the workloads that need it.
