FAQ
Common Questions
How long does a cloud migration to Azure typically take?
A cloud migration timeline depends on scope. A small organisation (50–200 users, basic workloads) can complete migration in 8–12 weeks. Enterprise migrations with complex on-premises infrastructure, compliance requirements, and data migration typically span 16–24 weeks. We provide a detailed TCO analysis and migration plan before committing to timelines.
What Azure architecture certifications does TACMinds hold?
