Find out which of your applications actually block the migration
Migrations do not stall on operating systems, they stall on a handful of applications nobody can account for. This sorts your estate into the four groups that actually matter, before you commit budget to any of it.
Request this assessmentWho books this
- A Windows 11, Windows Server or virtual desktop migration has stalled on a few applications
- You have an App-V estate to move and nobody knows what the packages contain
- An application is the only reason a machine is still on an unsupported OS
- You have been quoted for a migration and want to know if the application scope is realistic
What you get
- Your applications sorted into four groups: converts cleanly, needs remediation, must be captured from a running install, or should be delivered another way
- A straight answer on the ones that will never convert, and what to do with them instead
- The App-V position, if you have one, including what a converter would lose
- A realistic effort estimate per group, so the migration can be budgeted rather than guessed
What we need from you
- A list of the applications in use, however rough. An export from Intune, Configuration Manager or even a spreadsheet is fine
- Your target platform, if you have chosen one: Windows 11, a newer Server release, AVD or Windows 365
- Which applications somebody would escalate about if they stopped working on Monday
When not to book this
If your estate is a dozen well-behaved applications all installed from current vendor media, you do not need this: they will almost all convert and the work is straightforward. This earns its place where the list is long, old, or nobody is quite sure what is on it.

- Microsoft estate review: Forty-five minutes and a written summary. What you are licensed for, what is switched on, where the gaps are, and what we would fix first.
- Security posture review: Most of what we find is not missing products. It is features you already pay for that were never switched on. Forty-five minutes to find out which.
- Cloud cost review: Non-production running around the clock, orphaned resources nobody decommissioned, and licences still assigned to leavers. Forty-five minutes to quantify yours.

- Cyber Essentials readiness check: The five control themes, checked against what you actually run. Most first-time failures are the same handful of things, and all of them are cheaper to fix before you apply.
- Virtual desktop review: Whether you are choosing between Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 or already running one and paying more than you expected, this is the same review: what the estate is doing, what it costs, and what it should cost.
- Copilot readiness check: Copilot does not grant anyone a single permission they did not already have. It just makes what they already had very easy to find, which is why the permissions work belongs before the licences and not after.
- Backup and recovery review: Everyone has a backup. Far fewer have a restore. The question worth answering is not whether jobs are running, it is when somebody last proved one and how long the business would be down.
- Application and reporting discovery: Most bespoke software goes wrong at scoping rather than in the build, and the most valuable thing a first conversation can do is establish whether you should be commissioning software at all.
- Endpoint and Intune review: Not whether Intune says the estate is compliant, but whether that means what you think it means: what is enrolled, what has gone quiet, which policies are actually winning, and what you could prove if somebody asked.
- DfE digital standards baseline: Sixty minutes against all twelve DfE digital and technology standards, the six core ones first. You get a governor-ready summary of where you stand and a dated plan for each gap, whether or not anything else follows.
- RDS health check: Connection Broker, Session Hosts, Gateway, Web Access, licensing, profiles and load balancing, reviewed as one estate. You get an executive summary to take to budget approval, the technical findings with their root causes, and a rectification path in the order we would do it.
- Kemp LoadMaster health check: Load balancers are the classic forgotten appliance. We review your LoadMaster's configuration backup and logs offline, so nothing connects to or changes the appliance, and you get a written report on its health with the evidence behind every finding.
