Optimize Before You Migrate to AWS

ATG’s Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) helps you understand your current environment, uncover cost-saving opportunities, and plan a smarter path to AWS. Using powerful tools and expert analysis, we identify how to right-size resources, reduce third-party licensing costs, and accelerate your move to the cloud with confidence.

Smarter Migrations Start With Smarter Assessments

Optimization and Licensing Assessment: Build a Cost-Efficient Path to AWS

Before you migrate, know exactly what you’re moving — and what it should cost. ATG’s Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) combines tooling, data analysis, and expert guidance to help you right-size, re-platform, and reduce unnecessary licensing spend as you move from VMware, Windows, and other environments into AWS. Our process delivers the clarity you need to build a faster, more cost-effective cloud migration strategy that’s aligned with your long-term goals.

Visibility Into Your Current Environment

We use AWS and third-party assessment tools to inventory workloads, licensing models, and performance patterns. This gives you a complete picture of what you’re running, what it costs, and where immediate efficiencies exist.

License Optimization Opportunities

Our experts analyze software licensing across VMware, Microsoft, and other vendors to uncover ways to reduce or eliminate redundant costs. We identify where open-source, AWS-native, or optimized licensing options can deliver long-term savings.

Migration Readiness & Cost Modeling

We model migration scenarios that balance performance, cost, and effort. This includes rightsizing compute resources, identifying modernization opportunities, and providing detailed TCO comparisons for on-premises versus AWS environments.

Actionable Roadmap To AWS

You’ll receive a detailed report with prioritized recommendations and next steps. Whether your goal is to rehost, replatform, or modernize, the roadmap outlines the optimal migration path for each workload.

How It Works

Our OLA Engagement Process

ATG’s Optimization and Licensing Assessment helps you move to AWS with clarity, confidence, and control — minimizing licensing costs, maximizing efficiency, and setting the stage for a seamless migration.

Discover & Assess

We begin by collecting data from your on-prem and virtualized environments using AWS discovery tools and custom analysis. This step creates a baseline of resource utilization, licensing structures, and dependencies.

Analyze & Model

Our team reviews collected data to identify inefficiencies and model cost and performance scenarios on AWS. We determine which workloads are best suited for migration, modernization, or retirement.

Recommended & Optimized Licensing

We provide a detailed licensing strategy that minimizes third-party costs and maximizes AWS benefits. Recommendations include right-sizing, reserved instance planning, and leveraging AWS programs like MAP for financial incentives.

Roadmap & Next Steps

Finally, we deliver a clear migration and optimization roadmap outlining timelines, estimated costs, and expected savings. The result is a confident plan to move forward — faster, cheaper, and smarter.

Testimonials

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

“Prior to working with ATG, we weren’t aware of all we could do with AWS nor did we have the time, skills or people available to find out. ATG helped improve our security posture for our internal applications as well as customer deployments, and showed us a number of different options for using native AWS tools to help our services and product teams scale faster and more cost-effectively.”
