Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit helps IT, administrators, to determine whether or not a particular software application, user's device or Windows infrastructure is adequately prepared to migrate to a new cloud environment, operating system, or server version.

An IT professional can run Microsoft MAP Toolkit on one Microsoft computing device and inventory the entire Windows network. Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit is made up of four main components: MAPSetup.exe, readme_en.htm file, MAP_Sample_Documents.zip, and MAP_Training_Kit.zip.

Assessment and Planning Toolkit features

MAP Toolkit does not need an agent. It automatically inventories the software, users, devices, and infrastructure in Windows and also produces a readiness report and proposal for executives with hardware and software information.

The readiness report can also include information on the applications users work with and if those applications are compatible with the desktop or server operating system IT plans to move to.

You can also hire Octopus Cloud services regarding the MAP toolkit. Here, experts can optimise SPLA licensing and develop a clear path towards cloud transformation.
