What is Application Modernization Assessment?
An AWS Application Modernization Assessment is a structured evaluation which can help you review your existing software portfolio, measure cloud readiness, and build a roadmap to move from legacy systems to cloud-native, serverless, or containerised architectures.
With industry experts reporting that organisations can spend anywhere from 56-80% of their IT budgets just maintaining legacy systems, there is a clear and present need to conduct a review of your current architecture.
Via a thorough assessment, we’ll help you to figure out the best applications to modernise and establish an aligned strategy to modernise your architecture and create a well-aligned modernisation blueprint for maximum business results.
What an AMA can address
Over time, organisations can find that a raft of challenges pile up, creating considerable technical debt which can be costly to explore and address, including

Slow release cycles
Operational risk
Vendor lock-in
Scalability limits
Talent attrition
What we'll help with
Transform your estate with total clarity. Delivered by 100% AWS-certified architects, our assessment aligns technical capability with business ROI.
Rationalise your application portfolio
We’ll remove the guesswork by evaluating your existing applications according to business value, functional maturity, technical dependencies, and cost using automated discovery tools and structured frameworks.
Uncover & eliminate technical debt
Our AWS-certified architects will conduct a deep dive into your source code, legacy dependencies, and database schemas. We’ll then identify critical migration blockers and expensive licensing traps before they impact delivery.
Define your AWS Six-R Strategy
This is not about a copy and paste across organisations. We’ll establish the right path for each of your workloads. This is done by systematically mapping your estate across AWS’s 6 R migration framework - Rehost, Replatform, Rearchitect, Repurchase, Retire, or Retain.
Model true TCO & maximise ROI
We’ll build a solid business case. This is done by calculating infrastructure rightsizing, modelling licensing-free database transitions (such as SQL Server to Amazon Aurora), and forecasting long-term cost optimisations.
We can provide fully funded support
With budgets under more scrutiny than ever, we can provide the assessment fully funded, meaning you can remove any cost pressures which might have held you back from completing this. *through AWS and subject to eligibility
