Distribution needs disruption, and we are here for it.
From scrappy start-up to part of a global cloud powerhouse, disruption is in our DNA.
Azure Migrate and Modernise (AMM) is designed to help organisations move their existing applications and workloads into the Azure cloud, by providing technical guidance, tools and financial support.
When you have customers with an appetite for cloud migration and modernisation, your cloud solutions distributor should be able to advise you on how to access the AMM program.
But what happens after that?
If your current distributor only provides an introduction or a referral to third parties to manage the full cloud migration process, it’s time to talk to Crayon.
In APAC, Crayon’s in-house cloud migration expertise and services are in place to fully enable our partners and their customers to confidently make the move to Microsoft Azure. We provide everything our partners need to leverage the AMM program from start to finish, as a true, strategic value-add.
That means our partners get expert Microsoft-certified solutions to assess, migrate, and modernise Azure deployments—complementary and customised for your needs.
Our AMM team provides partners with end-to-end program activation, enablement and delivery of Azure cloud migration projects. This includes funding applications for eligible partners, access to sales and marketing resources, and hands-on technical delivery.
Crayon is a qualified Microsoft Cloud Solutions Partner and one of the few distributors to hold 6/6 Solutions Partner designations as per the new MCPP Microsoft Cloud Partner Program (MCPP).
Crayon’s in-house technical experts ensure you’re fully enabled with Microsoft-certified solutions to assess, migrate, and modernise your Azure deployments. Further, we’ll work with you to customise Azure deployments to meet the specific needs of your customers.
Our approach to every migration project is grounded in best practice and follows Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure. Every partner in the AMM program is fully supported through every stage of an Azure migration project, including discovery, assessment, planning and migration, and post-migration.
A great Azure cloud migration is just the start of the benefits of engaging with Crayon in the AMM program.
We combine our unparalleled expertise as an Azure Expert MSP with a proven track record in cloud cost optimisation.
With Crayon, you can be assured that new Azure cloud environments are set up for simple and fast monitoring of cloud consumption, spend management and performance optimisation.
