Cloud Readiness Check
The first step into the cloud
Moving to the cloud propels your business forward. However, it requires careful planning and a deep understanding of the continuously evolving Microsoft Azure platform. A migration without a plan can quickly become costly. A planned migration is your chance to shed outdated practices and elevate your IT to the next level.
During the Cloud Readiness Check, we analyze your current infrastructure and develop a cloud strategy tailored to your business. You will receive a binding offer, including a migration roadmap and a cost overview.
How the assessment works
We begin by inventorying your servers, storage systems, network infrastructure, and backup landscape. We analyze dependencies between applications and identify what can move directly to the cloud, what should be modernized, and what is best kept on-premises. Your existing licensing is also factored into the analysis, allowing us to determine what can continue to be utilized via Azure Hybrid Benefit.
Based on this, we design your target cloud architecture: a customized Azure design complete with a landing zone, security baseline, a clear identity concept, and, where appropriate, a hybrid strategy via Azure Arc. Your data will remain in the Swiss Azure regions, and Swiss data protection law is considered from the outset.
Finally, you will receive a migration plan detailing priorities, timelines, and a transparent cost estimate. You'll see which workloads will be migrated first, the cost of the migration, and the realistic long-term savings, such as the elimination of hardware investments, maintenance contracts, and server room operations.
From workshop to ongoing operations
The Cloud Readiness Check is your entry point. Should you decide to migrate, we will guide you through the implementation in phases and subsequently manage operations within our Managed Service Program. Performance, availability, cost optimization, and FinOps are continuously monitored to ensure your cloud environment not only functions but also operates economically.

Which companies are the right fit for Baggenstos?
For Swiss SMEs with 50 to 500 employees looking to professionalize their IT operations. Equally for enterprise customers seeking proven professional services and deep Microsoft 365 and Azure expertise for demanding projects. Whether you're just starting your cloud journey or already using Microsoft 365 and want to outsource its management. We are the ideal partner if Microsoft is central to your IT strategy and you're seeking a long-term operational partner, not just a project service provider.
Why does Baggenstos work with Microsoft?
Because focus leads to better quality. We don't do SAP, no Salesforce, no jack-of-all-trades. Instead, we know every license type, every Azure configuration and every Teams nuance in depth. This deep specialization in the Microsoft ecosystem is reviewed year after year and confirmed with Solutions Partner designations.
What sets Baggenstos apart from other IT service providers?
Three key aspects: First, our consistent focus on Microsoft, backed by annually audited certifications. Second, our Managed Service model, which includes a personal Service Manager and a monthly review meeting. We don't disappear after the project. Third, 100 years of continuity, owned by the family and management, self-financed and independent of investors or corporate decisions.
How does a collaboration with Baggenstos work?
It all begins with an initial consultation. Based on your needs, this leads to an assessment or workshop where we analyze your current situation and develop a roadmap. We then proceed with phased implementation, supported by a dedicated contact person and a clear timeline. Following this, 80% of our clients continue to work with us long-term through our Managed Service.
What does a collaboration with Baggenstos cost?
It depends on the scope. We bill Managed Services monthly per workplace; projects are based on a clearly defined scope and budget. In an initial consultation, we work out together what you need, and you receive a transparent offer. No hidden setup fees, no surprises on your invoice. We explain the exact pricing logic on the respective service pages.
Where is our data stored?
In Microsoft data centers in Switzerland. Microsoft operates two data centers in Zurich and Geneva. Your data remains in Switzerland, in compliance with Swiss data protection law. We configure your environment to ensure data residency meets your regulatory requirements. Upon request, we also advise on industry-specific compliance requirements.
