So, you’re ready to soar up into the world of cloud, or you want to optimise your existing cloud environment. Welcome to AWS Assess, the all-important first step to ensure your cloud project will be executed cost-effectively, efficiently, and tailored to your organisation’s specific needs.

What is it and what will you get?

Instead of pulling a ready-made package off the shelf only to leave you with a short-term fix that’s not fit for purpose, we will guide you through AWS’ rigorous and proven methodology. This process will determine the right costs for time and skills, licencing, and risk mitigations, as well as a readiness assessment for a successful and safe cloud migration. We’ll also identify any potential AWS funding available to you.  

How it works

Your starting point vs your dream destination

Together, we’ll address two key questions: What does the “now” look like? And what does your desired destination need to deliver for you? We’ll start by assessing your current states – how they are being used and how they behave. Then, we’ll engage all stakeholders to understand what the organisation wants to achieve.

The journey

We’ll deploy tooling across your current ICT estate to understand your environment’s utilisation levels and licensing statuses, and to establish application dependency mapping. This information is used to estimate the size, shape and capabilities your new cloud environment will require, and help to plan a safe migration.

How you benefit

  • Clarity around what cloud migration means for your organisation
  • Visibility of what your cloud destination is likely to be, and a roadmap to get there
  • Transparency around the total operating costs to your business, and how to continuously improve them
