Migration Readiness Assessment: Know exactly what it takes to move to cloud before you start
Most cloud migrations don't fail on the cutover weekend — they fail three months earlier, when nobody mapped application dependencies, nobody sized the real workload, and nobody flagged the compliance requirement that changes the whole timeline.
This self-assessment scores your organisation across the same readiness dimensions our architects check before scoping a migration — technical complexity, data and application dependencies, organisational readiness, and the business case. Enter your details and we'll send the PDF straight to your inbox.

Is This Assessment for You?
Built for Teams Planning a Migration
They Haven't Scoped Yet. If "move to the cloud" is on the roadmap but nobody has put a number on complexity, cost, or timeline, this assessment gives you a structured starting point — before a vendor or systems integrator puts their own number on it for you.

IT leaders evaluating whether to migrate PeopleSoft, EBS, on-prem VMs, or legacy data centre workloads
Teams building the business case before requesting migration budget
Organisations comparing AWS, Azure, GCP, or Oracle Cloud as a destination
Anyone who suspects application dependencies are more tangled than the diagram shows
Teams who want an internal readiness score before a vendor RFP
This is probably not what you need if:
The assessment is free either way — it's a working document, not a sales funnel in disguise.
You're already mid-migration — this is a pre-migration planning tool, not a cutover checklist.
You've already run a formal readiness assessment with a systems integrator in the last 6 months.
You need hands-on migration execution, not a self-serve scoring tool — talk to our migration team instead.
What's Inside
Four Dimensions.One Readiness Score. Each dimension scores a different way migrations go over budget or over schedule — with a plain-language question, not a jargon-heavy audit.
Technical Readiness
8 questions
The infrastructure and architecture questions that determine feasibility and approach.
Current infrastructure inventory maturity
Application-to-workload mapping status
Network and identity architecture readiness
Lift-and-shift vs. re-architecture fit
Data & Application Complexity
8 questions
Where migrations quietly balloon in scope — dependencies nobody diagrammed.
Application interdependency mapping
Data volume, sensitivity & residency constraints
Custom integrations & legacy customisations
Downtime tolerance by system
Organisational Readiness
7 questions
The non-technical reason most migration timelines slip — people, not servers.
Internal cloud skills & training gaps
Executive sponsorship & decision-rights clarity
Change management & user communication plan
Dedicated migration ownership
Business Case & Budget
7 questions
The questions finance will ask — better to have answers before they're asked.
Current-state cost baseline accuracy
Compliance & regulatory driver clarity
Contingency budget for the unknowns
Success metrics defined before day one
Destination-Agnostic
Works Whichever CloudYou're Actually Moving To. The readiness questions are the same regardless of destination — but the follow-up guidance in the PDF is tailored by platform, since AWS, Azure, GCP, and Oracle Cloud each carry different migration tooling and trade-offs.

What Assessments Typically Reveal
The Timeline Slips Long Before the Cutover Weekend.
Across the readiness assessments our migration architects run before scoping client engagements, the same gaps recur: application dependencies nobody diagrammed, a downtime tolerance nobody agreed on, and a change management plan that doesn't exist yet. Each one is fixable — if it's found in week one, not week twelve.
This self-assessment is the same starting point we use before scoping any migration engagement — free, self-serve, and yours to keep either way.

Why Trust This Assessment
Written From Real Migrations.Not a Generic Checklist. This isn't a repackaged blog post. It's the same diagnostic our architects run before scoping any engagement.
Built from real migration scoping
Every question exists because it changed a real project's timeline or budget somewhere — not because it sounded thorough in a template.
Destination-agnostic by design
One assessment whether you're headed to AWS, Azure, GCP, or Oracle Cloud — useful before you've even picked a destination.
No obligation, no upsell
It's a free working document. Keep it, use it, share it with your team — no strings attached.
