Cloud Migration Orchestration

TRUSTED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS

An incomplete understanding of the data center estate and its numerous interdependencies makes it difficult to accurately scope cloud requirements and avoid business disruption during a migration.

Ensuring a successful cloud migration means maintaining access to critical applications throughout the process. Unfortunately, information about most companies’ data centers has become a bit of a black hole. Employee turnover, company growth, mergers, acquisitions, and more mean it’s unlikely anyone has a handle on one data center, let alone multiple centers. Companies tend to lose track of exactly which applications are installed and running on which hardware, who is using them, and all the interdependencies.

Discovery tools relying on network scans only see part of the picture. This information must be aggregated with existing systems of record and validated via stakeholder surveys and interviews to build a clear view of the current data center and map out cloud requirements. Unfortunately, this process is highly manual and results in months or years of upfront effort before any migration can occur. Manual processes also introduce significant risks, ranging from business disruption caused by bad data to security risks caused by delays in migrating end-of-life systems that are no longer supported.

ReadyWorks aggregates data coming from your discovery tools, systems of records, and spreadsheets into one platform. It identifies anomalies, data gaps, and inaccurate records. ReadyWorks automatically cleans your data and/or updates the system of record itself. It automates the stakeholder interview process using data collection portals and orchestrates all migration workflows. All this is done quickly without the need for custom scripting.
