What is a Cloud Migration Assessment?
A Cloud Migration Assessment is a process designed to help identify the risk, time, and effort required to migrate applications and workloads to the cloud. In the absence of such an assessment, you’re only leaving your cloud migration activities to chance.
Typically there would be a cloud readiness assessment that leads to a cloud migration assessment. Both cloud assessments are conducted with different objectives in mind but complement one another.

Suppose your company operates on a handful of applications and does not operate a complex network comprising a large volume of servers or applications. In that case, chances are your environment is small enough to avoid an in-depth dive cloud migration assessment.
In contrast, if your business operates multiple data centers and regional offices. And your architecture comprises a complex network of LANs, WANs, VPN, etc., as well as runs a large number of applications across several hundred or thousands of servers. You really can’t afford to discount the importance of a cloud migration assessment.
