AWS Migration Readiness Assessment

Background:

The MAP assessment solution is designed to help customers successfully migrate to the cloud using AWS services. It includes a comprehensive assessment of the customer's existing IT infrastructure, including an evaluation of their application dependencies. Based on this assessment, our team works with the customer to develop a tailored cloud migration strategy that minimizes disruption and maximizes cost savings.

Cloud Migration Process:

•Planning and assessment: We evaluate clients' readiness for migration and identify the necessary capabilities and use cases and provide a business case, TCO, and ROI analysis to help clients make informed decisions.

• Designing migration architecture: We design a cloud-enabled operating model and technical foundation, incorporating security and compliance at every level.

• Migration and validation: We conduct thorough mapping and testing of data at each stage of migration, as well as post-migration validation.

Features:

• Infrastructure evaluation: Assessing the current IT infrastructure to determine if it is compatible with the cloud platform.

• Application dependency analysis: Identifying dependencies of the current applications to determine how they will function in the cloud environment.

• Migration strategy development: Creating a migration strategy tailored to the organization's unique needs, including identifying key steps and milestones.

• Security evaluation: Reviewing current security measures to ensure compliance with cloud security standards and identifying areas for improvement.

• Cost optimization analysis: Identifying opportunities to save costs by reviewing the current infrastructure and suggesting cloud-based solutions.

Benefits:

• Cost savings: Reduces infrastructure and maintenance costs, and identifies opportunities for cost optimization.

• Flexibility and scalability: Provide a highly flexible and scalable infrastructure, enabling quick adaptation to changing business needs and demands.

• Improved security: Offers robust security features and can identify security gaps and recommend best practices.

• Increased agility: Enables faster deployment and prototyping, allowing for quick testing and new product/service launches.

• Better performance and reliability: Offer high-performance infrastructure and redundancy, enhancing application and service reliability.

Deliverables:

• Perform a cloud readiness assessment to identify gaps and optimization opportunities in the current infrastructure, along with a thorough on-premises inventory assessment of the customer's IT environment.

• Calculate total cost of ownership (TCO) to comprehend the cost-saving potential of AWS migration, recommend cost optimization and evaluate environmental impact.

• Recommend right-sizing migration and modernization efforts by evaluating applications to determine which should be migrated, modernized, replaced, or retired.

• Develop an implementation plan that outlines the necessary resources, timelines, and key business events for migrating applications to the AWS cloud.

• Create an enablement plan for a seamless transition to operations post-migration, providing support and guidance throughout the process and ensuring the customer's full readiness to operate in the AWS cloud.

• Draft a target AWS environment with low, medium, and high-level architecture diagrams to depict the customer's new AWS environment and its integration with their existing IT infrastructure.

• Create documentation outlining IAM strategy, security, compliance requirements, and migration method to ensure the customer's comprehensive understanding of the migration process and compliance with industry regulations and standards.
