Migrating to the AWS and realising all its benefits requires a comprehensive understanding of the applications you want to migrate.

The Application Migration Planning service is an objective, data driven analysis that prepares a client for a successful AWS migration.

We streamline the assessment process and provide objective, data-driven analysis to identify endpoint suitability and application migration patterns.

The service ensures clients know which applications are most appropriate for AWS; understand what applications should be moved to AWS first; select the appropriate migration pattern for each application; and develop the most practical roadmap for a successful AWS migration.

At the end of an engagement, the client will realise the following outcomes and deliverables:

• Guidance on endpoint suitability across platforms (including public cloud, private cloud and on-premise)
• Identification of migration patterns for all applications
• Identification of application ""first movers""
• High-level roadmap and top-down view of migration planning
• Insight into the effort it will take to manage applications across your portfolio

This service helps clients determine the migration strategy for each of their targeted applications. By approaching migration in a structured, consistent way, clients can increase the likelihood of successful migrations to AWS while also putting a foundation in place that allows for ongoing adoption and consumption of AWS cloud services.

Driving successful migrations

• Application-oriented approach: We consider each application instead of only looking at a client’s environment from an infrastructure perspective
• Intellectual property and tooling: We accelerate our client’s migration to the AWS cloud using our proprietary tools and data-driven objectivity

Tangible Benefits/Desired Outcomes

• The best endpoint (public cloud, private cloud, on-premise) for each application
• The most appropriate migration pattern for each application
• Which applications should be first movers
• The most practical roadmap for a successful migration
