Cloud Migration Assessment with Zero Guesswork

A cloud migration assessment is a structured evaluation of your existing IT environment to determine cloud readiness. It covers workload discovery, dependency mapping, TCO analysis, risk evaluation, and 6Rs classification. The assessment produces a data-driven cloud migration strategy with prioritized migration waves, effort estimates, and a business case for stakeholders.

Assessment timelines depend on environment size. Small environments (under 50 workloads) typically take 2-3 weeks, mid-size environments (50-200 workloads) take 4-6 weeks, and large enterprise environments (200+ workloads) take 8-12 weeks. We use automated discovery tools alongside hands-on analysis to accelerate the process without sacrificing accuracy.

The 6Rs framework classifies each workload into one of six migration strategies: Rehost (lift-and-shift), Replatform (optimize with managed services), Refactor (re-architect for cloud-native using Kubernetes and containers), Repurchase (move to SaaS), Retire (decommission), and Retain (keep on-premise). Our assessment evaluates every application against these strategies to recommend the optimal path.

You receive a comprehensive report covering: full application and infrastructure inventory, dependency maps, per-workload 6Rs classification, TCO comparison (on-premise vs. cloud), risk register with mitigation plans, compliance requirements matrix, prioritized migration waves, effort and timeline estimates, and a recommended migration roadmap aligned to your business goals.

We assess for all major cloud platforms including AWS (Amazon Web Services), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Our assessment is cloud-agnostic by default, and we recommend the best-fit platform for each workload based on technical requirements, existing investments, and compliance constraints.

No. Our assessment process is non-disruptive. We use agent-based and agentless discovery tools that run alongside your production environment without impacting performance. Network traffic analysis and application profiling happen passively. Stakeholder interviews and workshops are scheduled around your team's availability.

Assessments identify hidden dependencies, compliance gaps, and technical blockers before migration begins. Without an assessment, organizations face unexpected downtime, data loss, and budget overruns. Our structured approach ensures every risk is documented with a mitigation plan, and migration waves are sequenced to minimize business disruption. This is critical for regulated industries requiring security and compliance validation.

After the assessment, we present findings to your leadership team and recommend next steps. Many clients proceed directly to full migration execution with our team. We can also help you build internal capabilities through DevOps consulting and set up infrastructure as code with Terraform to automate your cloud environment from day one.

Assessment costs vary based on environment complexity and scope. A focused assessment for a single business unit typically starts around $10,000-$25,000, while a full enterprise-wide assessment for hundreds of workloads ranges from $50,000-$150,000. The assessment investment typically pays for itself by preventing costly migration mistakes and identifying workloads that can be retired.

Yes. We regularly assess organizations that already have workloads spread across on-premise data centers, colocation facilities, and multiple cloud providers. Our assessment identifies opportunities to consolidate, optimize, or rebalance workloads. We also evaluate hybrid connectivity requirements and recommend architectures that align with your long-term cloud strategy.
