Microsoft Azure Services and Support

Q: How long does it take to migrate to Azure?

Migrating to Microsoft Azure typically takes between 2 weeks to 30 days from scope to go-live, depending on how many resources are being migrated. We typically conduct migrations during non-business hours and over the weekend (from Friday night to Monday morning) to account for changes and testing.
