Migration Business case development with license optimization (OLA)

As a preparation of Cloud migration projects, a business case for the migration is required by business stakeholders in most cases. This discovery work covers the following aspects of the organization and the application to be migrated:

• What is the current total cost of ownership (TCO) of the application, including direct and indirect costs?

• What functional and non-functional requirements does this application have for the migration?

• What migration strategy to apply for the application?

• Migration Portfolio assessment to determine the calculated TCO of the application in AWS, and based on the current TCO, a Return on investment (ROI) analysis breakdown for the next 3 or 5 years. The TCO calculation can span across IT hardware and certain software assets, including software license costs in the ROI report.

• Migration Readiness Assessment to determine, what are the strengths and weaknesses in customer organization for adopting Cloud technologies and operating them. As part of TC2 Migration Business case development based on AWS Migration Acceleration Program Frameworks and tooling, we will deliver you a material, which will help you in the decision making process overseeing required effort, anticipated benefits and the overall migration journey steps as a tangible outcome for business leaders.

Moving and hosting enterprise software in AWS can bring a number of benefits to the table:

• VMware platform migration to AWS: besides moving virtual machine workloads to AWS, it is crucial to plan network, security and automation capabilities to match these features in the AWS platform.
• Other off the shelf products and custom developed applications are also encouraged to assess for a migrate and modernize project for benefits As part of the migration project engagement, we test out cutover plans and rollback plan steps in the provided maintenance window, to leave out surprises when it comes to Live migration.
