At zeb, an Advanced Tier AWS Consulting Partner, we are excited to introduce our Cloud Transition Preparation Assessment. This offering is not merely an assessment; it is a strategic partnership aimed at equipping your business with the necessary tools and insights for a streamlined transition into AWS's expansive cloud environment, enabling agility, scalability, and security at every turn.

Recognizing that cloud migration is a transformative business move, we begin with an in-depth understanding of your existing IT infrastructure. Our AWS Certified Solutions Architects embark on a methodical approach, starting with your company's specific business and technical needs.

Our goal is to orchestrate a cloud migration plan that is as unique as your enterprise, ensuring that the new cloud infrastructure can support your current operations and future growth seamlessly.

Through a series of focused deep-dive sessions, each tailored to last between one to two hours, we cover extensive domains including:

• Current IT Infrastructure Assessment
• Application Portfolio Analysis
• Cloud Security Posture Evaluation
• Compliance and Governance Strategies
• Workload Migration Planning
• Cost Optimization Analysis
• Performance Benchmarking
• Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning
• Cloud-Native Tools and Services Adoption

These sessions are designed to lay the groundwork for your cloud transition, emphasizing meticulous planning, educational insights, and leveraging AWS's full spectrum of capabilities.

A Cloud Transition Preparation Assessment provides a detailed migration strategy. This includes, but is not limited to, AWS's core infrastructure services such as EC2 for compute, RDS for database management, and S3 for storage. We also consider the integration of AWS's advanced services like AWS Lambda for serverless computing, Amazon EKS for container management, and AWS IoT Core for IoT device management.

Our commitment is to turn your cloud migration journey into a story of innovation and growth, harnessing the power of AWS to foster a data-driven culture in your organization. We see your migration to AWS as a catalyst for business transformation, and we stand ready to support and amplify your efforts with our dedicated expertise in the AWS ecosystem.
