Move workloads with clarity, not guesswork. Catalogue applications, data and external dependencies. Issue a readiness report and phased decision plan.
Outdated designs, unclear dependencies and scattered support responsibilities make technology projects harder than they need to be. For Cloud Readiness Assessment, the work follows a tailored sequence. Catalogue applications, data and external dependencies. Assess security, connectivity, licensing and migration constraints. Score workloads for cloud suitability and migration complexity. The work is scoped around existing systems, security expectations, change windows and a clear acceptance process.
Who This Service Is For
Organisations evaluating cloud adoption, workload migration, hybrid hosting or cloud cost optimisation. The initial focus is clear: Catalogue applications, data and external dependencies. The intended close-out is: Issue a readiness report and phased decision plan.
Challenges We Help Address
- Unclear starting point: Important details may be missed unless the current state and decision requirements are established.
- Execution risk: Planning must address real dependencies: Assess security, connectivity, licensing and migration constraints.
- Uncertain handover: The expected result should be documented and accepted, rather than assumed complete.
What Is Included
- Initial review: Catalogue applications, data and external dependencies.
- Solution or action planning: Assess security, connectivity, licensing and migration constraints.
- Coordinated execution: Score workloads for cloud suitability and migration complexity.
- Completion and next steps: Issue a readiness report and phased decision plan.
Our Approach
- 01Discover the environment. Catalogue applications, data and external dependencies.
- 02Design the solution. Assess security, connectivity, licensing and migration constraints.
- 03Deliver in controlled stages. Score workloads for cloud suitability and migration complexity.
- 04Validate and hand over. Issue a readiness report and phased decision plan.
Deliverables & Quality Checks
Intended completion activity: Issue a readiness report and phased decision plan. Supporting records may include approved configurations, testing evidence, architectural or operational records and a support handover, as applicable. The proposal should define acceptance conditions and any work specifically excluded.
Engagement & Dependencies
Available formats may include an assessment, fixed-scope implementation or, where confirmed, a recurring support arrangement. Access permissions, third-party licensing, change windows, ownership and support coverage must be agreed before work begins.
Answers at a glance
Frequently asked questions
Helpful details about scope, preparation and delivery.
What does Cloud Readiness Assessment include?
The proposed engagement has three key activities. Catalogue applications, data and external dependencies. Assess security, connectivity, licensing and migration constraints. Score workloads for cloud suitability and migration complexity. The exact deliverables are confirmed before engagement.
What should we prepare for Cloud Readiness Assessment?
To begin, share current assets or applications, access to relevant owners, existing diagrams or records, business-critical dependencies and preferred change windows. The first step is: Catalogue applications, data and external dependencies.
How is Cloud Readiness Assessment reviewed or completed?
The intended completion activity is: Issue a readiness report and phased decision plan. Handover or filing evidence and any open actions are documented to the extent included in the agreed scope.
Can Cloud Readiness Assessment be tailored to our current setup?
Yes. The scope starts from the existing environment and the operating constraints rather than assuming a standard technology stack. The initial step is: Catalogue applications, data and external dependencies.
