  • Use Surveys to collect all relevant data on your applications including – version, lifecycle stage, hosting type, technical fit, functional fit, and business criticality
  • Categorize applications based on the TIME (Tolerate, Invest, Migrate, Eliminate) methodology
  • Determine the scope of your modernization/migration initiative

Evaluate the cloud readiness of your applications and identify best migration candidates

  • Assess dependencies impacting cloud migration with pre-defined Matrix reports and Data-Flow diagrams

  • Apply the 6R methodology (Rehost, Replatform, Rearchitect, Replace, Retain, Retire) to guide planning
  • Prioritize applications into migration waves based on business criticality and urgency

Model your target landscape and develop a migration roadmap

  • Use pre-defined Transformations (e.g., change application technology, decommission application) to streamline and accelerate modeling
  • Compare the impacts of planned Transformations on your as-is landscape with dynamic visualizations
