Migration Accelerator - Assess, Mobilize, Migrate, & Modernize

Accelerate Your Migration to AWS: Basis’ Migration Accelerator streamlines the path to AWS by following a proven, MAP-aligned framework: Assess, Mobilize, Migrate, and Modernize. Our team reduces the cost, risk, and complexity of moving from on-premises or alternate cloud environments by combining funded assessments, detailed roadmaps, and secure, full-scale execution. Customers benefit from lower migration costs, faster timelines, and a seamless transition into a cloud environment optimized for performance, compliance, and sustainability.

Assess Phase – Build the Business Case:

• The journey begins with a funded assessment designed to evaluate readiness and build a strong migration business case.
• Basis conducts stakeholder workshops, workload discovery, and dependency mapping across servers, databases, and applications. Using AWS tools such as AWS Application Discovery Service, Migration Hub, and Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA), we perform right-sizing analysis, identify interdependencies, and build multi-year total cost of ownership (TCO) models.
• Customers receive a clear migration roadmap, sustainability analysis, and executive-level recommendations, enabling confident decision-making with quantifiable financial benefits.

Mobilize Phase – Plan and Prepare:

• In this phase, we translate insights into a detailed migration plan. Basis sets up or enhances your AWS landing zone, validates security and compliance requirements, and runs pilot migrations to reduce risk.
• This stage aligns technical architecture with business goals while incorporating licensing optimization, workload tagging, and performance baselines.
• Funding opportunities during the mobilize stage offset planning and pilot costs, ensuring customers can prepare at scale without incurring unnecessary expense. Deliverables include migration wave plans, security frameworks, and modernization roadmaps tailored to your environment.

Migrate Phase – Execute with Confidence:

• During migration, Basis executes wave-based migrations to AWS using services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon S3, AWS Application Migration Service, and AWS Database Migration Service.
• Our team ensures business continuity by minimizing downtime, validating performance baselines, and applying cost-optimization best practices.
• Customers can choose lift-and-shift, re-platform, or hybrid strategies depending on their priorities, with AWS funding available to help offset execution costs.

Modernize Phase – Unlock Cloud-Native Value (Optional):

• For customers ready to go beyond migration, Basis offers a dedicated modernization phase. This includes application refactoring, containerization, database upgrades, and analytics enablement using AWS-native services.
• Modernization unlocks agility, resilience, and long-term cost savings, but it is offered as a separate engagement to ensure flexibility.
• Whether moving workloads to managed databases or adopting serverless architectures, Basis helps organizations evolve at their own pace.
