The starting point

Workload &
business constraints.

An expiring hosting contract is a reason to plan a move, not to rush a cutover. We start with the systems that keep orders, customer service and internal work running, then identify the smallest sensible first migration.

When this service fits

  • A server or hosting contract is approaching renewal
  • Your IT team needs a migration starting point
  • You need an initial view of AWS costs and dependencies
Delivery scope

Delivery plan.

01

Identify the first workload

Discuss the application, hosting arrangement, business owner and critical integrations.

02

Check readiness

Review available inventory, access requirements, licensing and downtime constraints.

03

Set out the next step

Outline a pilot, the information needed for pricing, and whether AWS migration support may be relevant.

Technology with a purpose

AWS components we consider.

The final selection follows the workload, compatibility and regional requirements. These components are a starting point for design.

AWS Pricing Calculator

Model an initial monthly estimate using agreed usage assumptions.

AWS Migration Hub

Consider discovery and migration tracking when the estate warrants it.

Tangible outputs

What you receive.

  • Initial workload and dependency summary
  • Readiness gaps and questions for the application vendor
  • Suggested first migration and next-step scope
Ready for handover

Agree how success is checked.

  • The first workload has an identified owner.
  • Missing information is listed rather than silently assumed.
  • The next paid scope, if any, is separate from the free assessment.

What we need from you

A short inventory, current hosting costs if available, application owners and any renewal deadline.

How the scope is defined

The initial assessment is free. Detailed discovery, implementation and AWS usage are scoped separately. Timing is agreed after the workload and inputs are understood. MAP eligibility and funding require separate confirmation.
