Cloud Migration and Optimization Assessment

Typical challenges in our customers IT department are very similar: How can we optimize our costs? How can we modernize our infrastructure? Is migrating to the cloud the right thing to do and how can this be done? To address those challenges, there as is structured and fast way to make those decisions based on valid data. With the help of an AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) our experts evaluate the actual utilization and current costs of your existing environment and create your customized migration and cloud licensing strategy.

Our tools do not require any external connections or internet access to collect metrics.
