ANA was facing challenges with their hosting environment including lagging, unreliability, and difficulty with scaling, monitoring, and deployment. They were looking to modernize their applications, reduce operational costs, increase speed to market, and consolidate technologies. As a result, they were looking for a way to migrate their current applications on development, test, demo, and production environments to Microsoft Azure Platform using the best practices for security, scaling, monitoring, deployment, and management.

ANA was looking to modernize their systems in order to stay relevant in the evolving industry. In order to help ANA achieve this, Motifworks initiated a cloud economics solution assessment to gain insight son the client’s current environment. After working closely with ANA, Motifworks was able to determine which workloads needed to be prioritized for migration planning, understand the application portfolio, and create an actionable roadmap for a full-scale migration to the cloud using Azure. Motifworks worked to move all the applications off the NTT hosting service to Azure. By doing this, Motifworks enabled the technology needed to support the modernization initiatives such as the Association Management System refresh and OARS 2.0. In the end, ANA had a complete, actionable roadmap to cloud in the form of business case, readiness analysis, migration strategy, and phased migration plan.
