How does it work?
Combining the power of the AppScore platform with a proven methodology, the Cloud Accelerator rapidly conducts an application-centric discovery of the applications, servers and databases in your data centres, enabling you to create fully costed cloud adoption plans and migrate and modernise with confidence.
The Cloud Accelerator:
- Maps server and database dependencies to applications
- Captures detailed technical and non-technical information on applications
- Identifies migration risks and issues

Service levels to meet your needs
The Cloud Accelerator is a discovery-as-a-service offering available via two levels of monthly subscription that complement an AppScore platform licence. You can change between them at any time to suit the needs of your cloud migration programme or ongoing cloud modernisation.
Many customers start with Cloud Accelerator Plus to conduct discovery, then switch to a Standard subscription to use the AppScore platform populated with data to plan out and execute their cloud migration and modernisation.

Service Features
AppScore Platform:
The Cloud Accelerator is built around the AppScore cloud migration and modernisation platform, which is included in all subscription levels.
The service rapidly populates the platform with information on your current application estate, including processing and loading any data already captured in discovery tools such as Azure Migrate or AWS Migration Evaluator, saving you time and getting you to the to the cloud quicker.
Customer success assured:
With your Cloud Accelerator subscription, you will be supported by a dedicated Customer Success Manager experienced in the AppScore platform and cloud migration and modernisations.
Your Customer Success Manager will align AppScore to your specific organisational and programme goals and needs, ensuring you fully unlock the benefits of the cloud.
Application Dependency Mapping Service:
The Cloud Accelerator Plus service level includes validation of the mapping of servers and databases to the applications in your estate, providing greater accuracy than tool-based discovery.
This ensures the information underpinning your migration or modernisation is correct, and gaps in knowledge are clearly highlighted. Giving you confidence that you understand the risks and issues that could affect your cloud migration programme.
Product Training:
The Cloud Accelerator offerings include product training via 1-1 or group sessions.
Training follows a standardised plan comprised of several modules covering configuration, data capture, tuning, planning and migration of workloads to the cloud.
Training is delivered via online sessions with our experts. You also have full access to our AppScore knowledge base featuring training guides and how-to videos.
No SOWs, No Change Control:
The Cloud Accelerator provides a unique alternative to consultancy or service provider delivered discovery.
Switch between our subscription levels at any time. Upgrades to your plan take effect immediately, and downgrades take effect from the start of the next month.
Rather than having contractually defined limits, the service operates on a monthly basis where we load any data provided or captured from your Subject Matter Experts.
Data Loading Service:
AppScore specialists will load any existing data you have into the platform such as CMDB extracts, application catalogues, or output from discovery tools.
Data will be processed and loaded into your AppScore instance for you, saving you time and maximising use of existing information.
Support:
As standard, email access to support is provided during business hours from Monday to Friday (GMT) with an estimated 8-hour response time.
The Cloud Accelerator provides premium support with a faster response time, and if necessary, access to one of our expert AppScore specialists to resolve support issues.
Application Information Capture Service:
The information capture service included in the Cloud Accelerator Plus includes data capture for the AppScore questionnaires, which provide a 6Rs assessment overview with scores for risk, complexity and benefit so you can understand the cloud migration strategies that are best for your estate.
This element of the Cloud Accelerator service significantly reduces the impact of discovery and assessment on your team's time.
Proven Methodology:
The Cloud Accelerator is delivered using a methodology comprised of our three critical success factors. This methodology is built on real-world experience and has been tried and tested on a wide range of engagements globally across our partners and customers.
This, along with the ability to change service levels when required to suit your cloud migration project programme, makes the Cloud Accelerator the fastest and most cost-optimised way to conduct discovery on your application estate.
