The document discusses a Microsoft Azure Assessment Service (MaaS) & Modernize offering that assesses an organization's application portfolio to determine which applications can benefit from cloud capabilities. It will also modernize one selected application to migrate it to Microsoft Azure. The assessment will provide recommendations to create a roadmap for modernizing the application portfolio. It will identify applications, conduct a deep dive on their current state, and recommend a target Azure environment. The modernization of a sample application will re-platform it to Azure and move its configuration data, database, and integration with monitoring tools over a 12 week period.
