Service
We Show You Cloud Costs and Risks Before You Commit
We evaluate your workloads, identify what should move, and deliver a prioritized plan with realistic cost projections.
Fewer outages, faster pages, and a stack that holds under load
What changes with Cloud Assessment Planning Services
Get a clear picture of your infrastructure before committing to the cloud. Arising Media maps workloads, dependencies, and risks into a migration roadmap.
Uptime you can promise, recovery you can prove, and no surprises
What Cloud Assessment Planning Services covers
We don't have a clear picture of our full IT landscape or which workloads are ready to move
- A measured cost picture
- A documented cloud readiness scorecard
- A validated strategy, not a guess
- Architectural blueprints you can act on
Less downtime, tighter security, and a plan for the bad day
How an engagement runs
The work runs in a fixed sequence, so you always know what happens next.
- Infrastructure analysis We use automated discovery tools alongside manual analysis to document your complete IT landscape, identify migration candidates, and score cloud readiness workload by workload.
- Cost and risk assessment We run a Total Cost of Ownership comparison against your current infrastructure, including right sizing and reserved instance planning, and evaluate compliance, latency, and dependency risks.
- Strategy and roadmap Using frameworks like the AWS Well Architected Framework and Azure Cloud Adoption Framework, we give a migration roadmap with phases, milestones, and a platform recommendation.
A number agreed up front, a report you can read, and no surprises
What we watch once the work is live
The work is only done when the numbers move. We agree the measure before anything starts, then report against it every month. Each stage has one owner and one check, from infrastructure analysis through strategy and roadmap. The published scopes are Scoped to your requirement, so you can see what each one covers before you choose. If cloud assessment planning services is not producing the number we agreed, that is our problem to solve, not yours to chase.
What you gain with us
Clarity we deliver before you commit budget
A measured cost picture
Detailed TCO analysis compares on premises costs against cloud alternatives so you know the financial case before you move a single workload.
A documented cloud readiness scorecard
You receive a full assessment report and readiness scorecard covering every application and dependency in your environment.
A validated strategy, not a guess
Stakeholder workshops and proof of concept development let us pressure test the plan before full scale implementation begins.
Architectural blueprints you can act on
Deliverables include migration priorities, timeline planning, and architectural blueprints for your target cloud environment.
Verifiable TCO comparisons, not vendor pricing
We show you the verifiable Total Cost of Ownership comparison against your current infrastructure before you commit to anything, we don't build the business case around a cloud vendor's own pricing calculator.

Questions our clients ask us
What we cover before you assess
What do we receive at the end of the project?
A detailed assessment report, cloud readiness scorecard, migration roadmap with phases and milestones, cost benefit analysis, risk mitigation strategies, and architectural blueprints.
What happens first?
Your project begins with a complete audit completed within 7 business days, providing detailed findings and strategic recommendations.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing is set through a scope conversation, not a flat rate, since cloud assessment planning services varies with what you're starting from. What you're paying for is a measured cost picture, and the quote reflects how much work that takes given your current setup.
Do you help us choose a cloud platform?
Yes. Platform selection between AWS, Azure, GCP, or a multi cloud way of working is part of the strategy development, based on your assessment findings and skill gap analysis.
What happens during Infrastructure analysis?
We use automated discovery tools alongside manual analysis to document your complete IT landscape, identify migration candidates, and score cloud readiness workload by workload.
What happens during Cost and risk assessment?
We run a Total Cost of Ownership comparison against your current infrastructure, including right sizing and reserved instance planning, and evaluate compliance, latency, and dependency risks.
What happens during Strategy and roadmap?
Using frameworks like the AWS Well Architected Framework and Azure Cloud Adoption Framework, we give a migration roadmap with phases, milestones, and a platform recommendation.
How do you calculate TCO without just using a cloud vendor calculator?
We show you the verifiable Total Cost of Ownership comparison against your current infrastructure before you commit to anything. We don't build the business case around a cloud vendor's own pricing calculator.
Do you validate the plan before full implementation?
Yes.
We don't know which workloads are ready to move. Does the assessment cover that?
Yes. Infrastructure analysis documents your complete IT landscape and scores cloud readiness workload by workload, so migration candidates are identified with data, not guesswork.
Can this help with compliance or data sovereignty concerns?
Yes. Compliance, latency, and dependency risks are evaluated as part of the cost and risk assessment phase, alongside the TCO comparison.
What if we need to choose between a single cloud and a multi cloud approach?
Platform recommendation, including whether AWS, Azure, GCP, or a multi cloud way of working fits your situation, is part of the strategy and roadmap deliverable, based on your assessment findings.
What does the readiness scorecard tell us?
It covers every application and dependency in your environment, so you can see which workloads are ready to move and which need remediation before migration.
Is the roadmap just a timeline, or does it include architecture?
Both. Deliverables include migration priorities, timeline planning, and architectural blueprints for your target cloud environment, not just a schedule.
Why assess before planning a migration?
A migration plan without a direct assessment behind it is just a guess with a deadline. The assessment gives you the measured cost, readiness, and risk picture before a workload ever moves.
