Cloud Wizard - AWS Migration Readiness Assessment Service

Cloud Wizard Consulting's Migration Readiness Assessment is a structured consulting engagement designed to help organizations determine their readiness to migrate applications and infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS). Delivered by an AWS Select Tier Consulting Partner and Advanced Training Partner, this assessment leverages a proven 5-phase methodology to provide the technical and business insights needed to build a successful migration strategy.

Whether you are planning your first cloud migration, modernizing legacy applications, or migrating large-scale enterprise workloads, our AWS-certified consultants evaluate your existing environment, identify potential migration challenges, recommend suitable migration approaches, and create a roadmap aligned with AWS best practices.

During the engagement, our consultants perform a comprehensive assessment covering:

• Current infrastructure and application inventory
• Workload dependency analysis
• Migration readiness across people, process, and technology
• Security and compliance considerations
• Network connectivity and hybrid architecture review
• Identity and access management readiness
• Storage and database migration considerations
• Business continuity and disaster recovery planning
• Cost optimization opportunities
• AWS landing zone and foundational architecture recommendations
• Migration wave planning and prioritization
• High-level migration roadmap
• Executive summary with recommendations

Our engagement follows five structured phases:

Phase 1: Discovery Workshop

• Understand business objectives and define migration goals
• Identify stakeholders and scope the engagement
• Determine assessment depth based on number of applications and environments

Phase 2: Environment Assessment

• Review existing infrastructure and architecture diagrams
• Analyze applications and dependencies
• Evaluate operational processes

Phase 3: Readiness Evaluation

• Assess cloud adoption maturity
• Identify technical and organizational gaps
• Evaluate security and governance readiness

Phase 4: Recommendations

• Migration strategy and prioritization
• AWS architecture recommendations
• Risk mitigation plan and estimated migration effort

Phase 5: Final Presentation

• Findings review and executive summary
• Next-step recommendations and Q&A session

This assessment is ideal for organizations that are:

• Planning a migration from on-premises data centers to AWS - for example, a mid-market company with 100+ workloads facing a data center lease expiration and needing a prioritized migration plan
• Migrating from another cloud provider to AWS
• Refreshing aging infrastructure and preparing for application modernization
• Consolidating multiple data centers into a unified AWS environment
• Establishing a cloud migration roadmap before project initiation

Customers receive:

• Migration Readiness Assessment Report - comprehensive findings document
• Executive Summary - high-level overview for leadership stakeholders
• Current State Analysis - detailed environment documentation
• Identified Risks and Recommendations - prioritized risk mitigation guidance
• Migration Prioritization Matrix - workload sequencing framework
• High-Level Migration Roadmap - phased timeline with milestones
• AWS Best Practice Recommendations - aligned to AWS Well-Architected Framework
• Next-Step Action Plan - concrete steps to begin migration execution

To maximize the value of the engagement, customers should provide:

• Access to relevant infrastructure documentation
• Architecture diagrams (if available)
• Application inventory
• Existing security policies (if applicable)
• Key technical stakeholders for discovery sessions
• Business objectives for cloud migration

This engagement focuses on assessment, planning, and recommendations. It does not include actual workload migration, infrastructure deployment, application modernization implementation, managed services, or operational support beyond the assessment. These services can be purchased separately.
