What This Evaluation Covers

Most cloud migrations don't fail on technology — they fail on planning.

Our Cloud Readiness Evaluation inventories every workload, dependency, and data flow in your current estate, then scores each one for cloud suitability: technical complexity, compliance sensitivity, licensing constraints, and business criticality. We model total cost of ownership across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-native scenarios so the financial case is grounded in your real usage patterns, not vendor rate cards.

The result is a workload-by-workload migration plan, sequenced to deliver early wins while de-risking the applications that matter most.

  • Full application and dependency inventory
  • Workload-by-workload cloud suitability scoring
  • Total cost of ownership modeling (3-year horizon)
  • Compliance and data residency risk review
  • Licensing and vendor contract impact analysis
  • Migration wave sequencing and rollback planning
Framework

AWS Well-Architected Framework

Six-pillar model for evaluating cloud workload design against operational and financial best practice.

Framework

Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework

Structured methodology for strategy, planning, readiness, and governance across Azure migrations.

Practice

FinOps Foundation Principles

Cross-functional cost accountability practices applied to forecast and control cloud spend post-migration.

The Six Pillars We Score Every Workload Against

Adapted from the AWS Well-Architected Framework and applied consistently across cloud providers.

Operational Excellence

Run and monitor systems to deliver business value and continuously improve process.

Security

Protect data, systems, and assets through risk assessment and layered mitigation.

Reliability

Ensure a workload performs its function correctly and consistently when expected to.

Performance Efficiency

Use computing resources efficiently and maintain that efficiency as demand changes.

Cost Optimization

Run systems to deliver business value at the lowest sustainable price point.

Sustainability

Minimize the environmental impact of running cloud workloads over time.

Migration Strategy: The "6 Rs"

Every workload is assigned one of six industry-standard migration strategies based on its readiness score.

StrategyDescriptionBest For
RehostLift-and-shift to cloud infrastructure with minimal changes.Time-sensitive migrations, stable legacy workloads
ReplatformMinor cloud optimizations without changing core architecture.Apps needing managed database or container hosting
RepurchaseMove to a SaaS alternative for the same function.Commodity systems (CRM, email, HR platforms)
RefactorRe-architect for cloud-native scalability and resilience.Business-critical apps needing elastic scale
RetireDecommission systems with no ongoing business value.Redundant, unused, or shadow-IT applications
RetainKeep on-premises for now due to compliance or dependency risk.Highly regulated or tightly coupled legacy systems
