Overview
Many organizations know they need to modernize or optimize their IT environments, but lack a clear plan for where to start and how to align cloud decisions to business outcomes.
Why WEI's AWS Strategic Cloud Assessment
WEI's AWS Strategic Cloud Assessment helps customers evaluate their current environment and define a practical, prioritized roadmap for AWS migration, modernization, governance, and optimization. The engagement is designed for enterprise and mid-market organizations managing complex infrastructure estates - including VMware environments, legacy workloads, and multi-account AWS deployments - who need a structured path to cloud value.
Structured Three-Step Methodology
The engagement follows a proven Discover, Assess, and Roadmap process:
- Discover - WEI gathers business, technical, and operational inputs through workshops and stakeholder discussions. This includes infrastructure inventory, application dependency mapping, and business priority alignment.
- Assess - WEI evaluates cloud readiness, architecture, governance, security posture, compliance considerations, and modernization opportunities using discovery tooling and technical analysis.
- Roadmap - WEI delivers prioritized recommendations and a strategic roadmap aligned to business outcomes, including migration wave planning and target-state architecture options.
Example Scenario
Consider an enterprise managing a large VMware estate with hundreds of workloads spanning multiple data centers. WEI's assessment identifies migration candidates suitable for rehost versus refactor, maps application dependencies that would otherwise create migration risk, evaluates governance gaps, and delivers a phased roadmap that sequences workload moves by business criticality and technical complexity.
Deliverables
- Current-state cloud and infrastructure assessment
- Cloud readiness and maturity evaluation
- Application portfolio and dependency review
- Prioritized recommendations aligned to business goals
- Strategic roadmap for modernization and migration with wave planning
