Before a migration process can begin it is important to assess readiness before defining a migration strategy.
Our Migration Assessment & Strategy service is designed to guide your organisation through the essential steps for a seamless migration journey. This service assesses migration readiness and provides a clear roadmap to start the migration design and implementation process.
Key Steps:
- Define Migration Objectives: Understand and outline the business goals driving your migration.
- Discovery: Identify the scope of the applications and business functions affected by the migration.
- Migration Strategy: Classify your application workloads using the “6 R’s” framework (Rehost, Refactor, Rearchitect, Rebuild, Replace, Retire).
Our services are flexible, tailored to meet your specific needs, and can range from 3 days to 8 weeks depending on the complexity. Playtime Solutions’ Consulting and technical team brings extensive experience in architecture, migration, and application modernisation. We work closely with your team to ensure your migration goals are achieved, providing expert guidance throughout the process.
