Microsoft migration assessment

Define the migration before committing to full delivery

The assessment turns source facts, dependencies, target readiness, and business constraints into a working migration plan. It is designed for teams that need a defensible scope and clear next decisions before tools or production waves begin.

Assessment workflow

From source facts to a decision-ready roadmap

The depth varies by workload, but the assessment follows a controlled sequence that makes scope, risk, ownership, and required decisions visible.
01

Discover

Collect the highest-value facts about source systems, owners, data, permissions, forms, workflows, and integrations.

02

Score risk

Identify what can move cleanly, what needs remediation, and what could interrupt business operations during cutover.

03

Design waves

Group workloads by dependency, owner readiness, business priority, validation complexity, and cutover constraints.

04

Brief leaders

Summarize scope, options, risk, timeline drivers, ownership, and the recommended migration path.

Business case

Why assessment belongs before migration execution

The assessment gives leadership a clearer view of the work while giving technical teams the artifacts needed to prepare pilots and waves.
  • Clarify budget and timeline drivers before delivery commitments are made.
  • Identify unsupported platforms, hidden dependencies, stale ownership, and permissions risk.
  • Avoid rebuilding or migrating content and processes that should be retired or redesigned.
  • Prepare the target tenant and Power Platform governance model before production use.
  • Define pilot, validation, cutover, rollback, and post-migration support requirements.
  • Give leadership a practical roadmap instead of a tool-generated item count.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is a Microsoft Migration Assessment?

It is a fixed-scope first step that documents source inventory, target readiness, key risks, dependencies, migration waves, and recommended next actions before a full migration project starts.

Can this focus on InfoPath or Nintex only?

Yes. The assessment can focus on InfoPath to Power Apps, Nintex to Power Automate, SharePoint, tenant-to-tenant migration, file shares, Exchange, Teams, or a broader Microsoft 365 migration.

What do we receive?

Typical deliverables include an inventory summary, risk register, target readiness findings, source-to-target mapping approach, wave plan, remediation backlog, and executive summary.

Do we have to use Horton Scientific for the full migration?

No. The output is designed to be useful whether you execute internally, continue with Horton Scientific, or use a hybrid delivery model.
