Rs Signposting

This survey once answered along with the technical server and database data, generates the recommended route to cloud and also provides some of the inputs into the application Risk, Benefit and Complexity scoring.

Scoring

This survey once completed generates the Risk, Complexity and Benefit scores for the application in its current state and the relevant cloud migration options.  

Current State Assessment

This survey is not mandatory. This survey will give you greater granularity of the application and is normally completed after high level planning for applications that are being migrated.

Deep Dive / Design Cues
