A rigorous readiness assessment across cost, risk, security, and architecture — so your cloud migration is a planned transition, not a leap of faith.
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.
Six-pillar model for evaluating cloud workload design against operational and financial best practice.
Structured methodology for strategy, planning, readiness, and governance across Azure migrations.
Cross-functional cost accountability practices applied to forecast and control cloud spend post-migration.
Adapted from the AWS Well-Architected Framework and applied consistently across cloud providers.
Run and monitor systems to deliver business value and continuously improve process.
Protect data, systems, and assets through risk assessment and layered mitigation.
Ensure a workload performs its function correctly and consistently when expected to.
Use computing resources efficiently and maintain that efficiency as demand changes.
Run systems to deliver business value at the lowest sustainable price point.
Minimize the environmental impact of running cloud workloads over time.
Every workload is assigned one of six industry-standard migration strategies based on its readiness score.
| Strategy | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Rehost | Lift-and-shift to cloud infrastructure with minimal changes. | Time-sensitive migrations, stable legacy workloads |
| Replatform | Minor cloud optimizations without changing core architecture. | Apps needing managed database or container hosting |
| Repurchase | Move to a SaaS alternative for the same function. | Commodity systems (CRM, email, HR platforms) |
| Refactor | Re-architect for cloud-native scalability and resilience. | Business-critical apps needing elastic scale |
| Retire | Decommission systems with no ongoing business value. | Redundant, unused, or shadow-IT applications |
| Retain | Keep on-premises for now due to compliance or dependency risk. | Highly regulated or tightly coupled legacy systems |
