Cloud Readiness Assessment

WHY? —

In an effort to become agile, reduce maintenance costs and enable lean operations, organizations often forget that the most critical considerations when embarking on a journey to the cloud should include a comprehensive business case analysis, encompassing the total cost of ownership, cloud readiness assessment, and the design of a migration plan that aligns with your organization’s business priorities.

We conduct a comprehensive assessments designed to determine a customer’s readiness for cloud migration. Such an analysis not only translates into a seamless cloud migration process, but it also provides the clarity an organization needs to plan their budgets.

We believe that the migration to the cloud is a business strategy, rather than only an IT strategy, and as such, it should be approached with a business-driven decision framework and an actionable roadmap.

Our cloud readiness assessment transforms your idea of moving to the cloud into a solid plan that justifies the decisions and outlines the sequence of the events that should occur.

APPROACH —

Our experts conduct the cloud readiness assessment by taking into account key business and technical factors such as:

• Critical functional capabilities of existing systems
• Applicability of existing technological assets
• User behavior and expectations
• Cost of migration
• Need for application redesign
• Customer’s performance and availability requirements
• Customer’s security and privacy requirements
• Regulatory requirements

Step 1: Through conversations with your subject matter experts, we gain a 360° view of your environment, including servers, workloads, utilization metrics, storage, and interdependencies.

Step 2: Next, we focus on evaluating the gathered insights. The result is a gap analysis that helps us understand which applications to retain and which to re-host, refactor, re-platform, or re-architect. We also study non-functional aspects such as security, resilience, storage, on-going maintenance, and cost of operation.

Step 3: Finally, we present our findings and recommendations, discuss alternatives, and map out the next steps together.

Resolute Software’s cloud readiness assessment is the first step to a successful and cost-effective cloud migration that meets your organizational requirements and supports future growth.
