Turn Assessment Findings Into an Executable Migration Plan.
Knowing what to migrate isn't the same as knowing how to execute it. Our Migration Planning Assessment takes your readiness findings and builds a detailed strategy per workload, migration sequencing, wave plans, runbooks, and cutover procedures — the plan your team actually runs on migration day.
Signs You Need a Migration Planning Assessment
Your cost estimate came from a spreadsheet, not a dependency map
If nobody can show you which applications, integrations, and data flows the estimate accounts for, the number isn't reliable yet.
No one can tell you the full list of what's connected to what
Undocumented integrations are the single most common reason a planned cutover turns into an unplanned outage.
Previous migration attempts have stalled or been re-scoped
A stalled migration is usually a sign the original plan wasn't built on complete information, not that the team executing it did anything wrong.
Leadership and engineering are working from different timelines
If Finance is planning around one date and engineering around another, there isn't yet a single roadmap — there are two guesses.
You need to defend the business case to a board or investment committee
A migration planning assessment produces the cost model, risk plan, and roadmap that make that conversation a formality instead of a gamble.
What Is a Migration Planning
Assessment?
Turn migration intent into an executable, defensible plan.
A migration planning assessment evaluates workloads, applications, infrastructure, dependencies, business priorities, cost, security, and operational requirements — then answers the three questions that actually determine whether a migration succeeds:
What We Assess
Nine dimensions of your environment, evaluated together — not in isolation — so the plan reflects how your business actually operates.
Applications & workloads
Business criticality, complexity, compatibility, performance requirements, migration suitability.
Infrastructure
Compute, storage, databases, networking, environments, and infrastructure dependencies.
Dependencies & integrations
Application relationships, APIs, databases, external systems, sequencing constraints.
Security & compliance
Identity, access, encryption, data protection, regulatory requirements, security gaps.
Operations & DevOps
Monitoring, backup, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, incident response, support readiness.
Cost & TCO
Current infrastructure cost, projected cloud cost, migration effort, licensing, optimization opportunities.
Business priorities
Migration drivers, timelines, risk tolerance, expected outcomes.
Technical constraints
Legacy technologies, unsupported components, licensing restrictions, remediation needs.
Post-migration operating model
Who manages the environment after cutover — in-house, managed service, or hybrid — and what skills or support gaps that choice creates.
Migration Strategy & Workload Prioritization
Not every workload should move the same way. We assign a migration strategy per workload using the 6R framework — click a marker to see how it applies.
Rehost
Move with minimal application change.
Dependency & Risk Analysis
Find the blockers before they become budget or downtime.
Undocumented integrations and tightly coupled services are what turn a planned cutover into an unplanned outage — and an unplanned outage is what turns up in the next board update.
Map every connection, not just the documented ones.
Flag what could break, stall, or cost more than planned.
Score severity against business and technical exposure.
A concrete fallback for every risk that's carried forward.
Feed findings straight into strategy and sequencing.
Migration Wave Planning
Move workloads in the right order — migration is a sequence, not a single event.
Foundation wave
Landing zone, networking, identity, security, governance, shared services.
Pilot wave
Lower-risk workloads that validate the approach.
Core migration waves
Prioritized business applications and their dependencies.
Critical workloads
Business-critical systems with additional validation, testing, and recovery planning.
Optimization wave
Post-migration modernization, performance, and cost optimization.
Cost & TCO Assessment
Understand the financial picture before migration begins.
We model current infrastructure cost, target cloud cost, workload sizing, migration effort, licensing, data transfer, operational cost, and optimization opportunities into one view.

What You Get From a Migration Plan
Reduce migration risk
Surface gaps and dependencies before they cause failures.
Minimize delays & rework
Fewer mid-project redesigns and repeated planning cycles.
Prioritize high-value workloads
Move what matters most, first.
Improve cost visibility
Know the spend before you commit to it.
Align teams around one plan
Engineering, operations, security, and leadership working from the same roadmap.
Accelerate execution
A clear plan means migration starts faster and moves more predictably.
