Application Modernization Assessment (AMA)

The Application Modernization Assessment (AMA) is a NO COST light-weight and fast portfolio technology discovery and directional modernization assessment designed to identify the best candidate applications for modernization based on holistic metrics.

The AMA answers the question, "what do we modernize, and where do we start?"

The Evolve AMA includes:

• Portfolio source-code scan: identifies solution/project structure, languages & frameworks, and incompatible dependencies
• Portfolio database assessment: schemas, data types, advanced feature usage, and modernization level-of-effort estimate
• Modernization Scoring: ROI analysis, business criticality, and ease-of-modernization scores
• Licensing Assessment: High-level TCO comparison of current state to license-free

Why Consider Modernization and the AMA? Most companies modernize to eliminate tech debt, dramatically reduce costs, unlock faster feature delivery, and end licensing costs and audits by moving to cloud-native architectures built on containers, serverless and license-free databases.

Modern license-free platforms including cross-platform .NET on Linux containers and serverless, Amazon RDS  databases for PostgreSQL and MySQL, Amazon Aurora  databases for PostgreSQL and MySQL, and Amazon S3  bring significant savings

• Up to 45% savings for .NET applications  with Linux on AWS Graviton arm64 processors 
• Up to 70% savings for databases  by moving from SQL Server to Amazon Aurora for PostgreSQL
• Up to 85% savings moving from Windows file servers or FSx for Windows to Amazon S3

For some customers, even more important than lower TCO are the increases in innovation and feature release velocity.

Your Commitment The time commitment from your team can be as low as several hours, and Evolve Cloud Services typically completes an AMA in less than two weeks, at no cost to you.
