This document defines the tasks and services of the Dot Net Solutions Cloud Readiness Assessment service. 1.1 General Description
The Cloud Readiness Assessment provided by Dot Net Solutions is designed to help customers understand the range of solutions available as part of the Microsoft Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and Office 365.
