Cloud Advisory

How HexaPrime help you with Cloud Advisory!

Cloud Advisory & Assessment is a structured, consultant-led engagement that turns cloud ambition into a defensible plan. We begin by understanding your business drivers, constraints and target outcomes, then run a full discovery of your application portfolio and infrastructure using automated tooling (such as AWS Migration Evaluator / Azure Migrate) and expert analysis. Each workload is dispositioned against the 6Rs framework — rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire or retain — and dependency-mapped so nothing is moved blind. We assess cloud readiness across strategy, people, governance, platform, security and operations, benchmark your total cost of ownership on-premises versus AWS and Azure, and deliver a phased, wave-based adoption roadmap with a clear business case, risk register and target operating model.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you recommend AWS or Azure?

We are vendor-neutral. Our assessment scores each workload against both AWS and Azure on technical fit, cost, sovereignty and operational impact, and recommends the right platform per workload — often a considered mix rather than defaulting to one provider.

How long does an assessment take?

A focused environment is typically assessed in three to six weeks. Larger, multi-application estates are phased, with early findings and quick wins shared before the full business case is finalised.

We are not sure cloud is right for every workload. Is that a problem?

No — that is exactly the point. The 6Rs analysis explicitly identifies workloads to retain on-premises or retire, so you only move what genuinely benefits from the cloud and avoid paying to migrate the wrong things.

How do you handle data residency and sovereignty in the UAE and GCC?

Data classification and residency requirements are assessed up front and mapped to in-region AWS and Azure options, so the roadmap keeps regulated data within the required jurisdiction from the outset rather than fixing it later.

What do we actually get at the end?

A costed, risk-ranked, phased roadmap plus a business case leadership can approve — not a generic slide deck. Every recommendation is traceable to a workload, a cost and a business driver.

Can you also deliver the migration you recommend?

Yes. The assessment stands alone, but it is designed to flow directly into our Cloud Migration, Modernization and Managed Cloud Operations services, so there is no loss of context between planning and delivery.
