Map Your Applications to the Right Modernization Strategy
Assess up to 5 applications across 6 dimensions — Business Criticality, Technical Health, Dependency Risk, Operational Complexity, Cloud Readiness, and Team Capability — and receive a tailored 6R migration recommendation for each, with provider-specific guidance for AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Application Portfolio Modernization Assessor
Not every application should follow the same migration path. This enterprise-grade assessment evaluates each application in your portfolio across 6 key dimensions to recommend the right 6R strategy — Retain, Retire, Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, or Rebuild — with prescriptive cloud provider guidance.
What you'll learn:
- 6R migration recommendation for each application (Retain, Retire, Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Rebuild)
- Per-app scoring across Business Criticality, Technical Health, Dependency Risk, Operational Complexity, Cloud Readiness, and Team Capability
- Cloud provider-specific migration services and tooling for AWS, Azure, or GCP
- Portfolio comparison matrix with migration wave ordering
Takes 3-10 minutes depending on portfolio size

Understanding the 6R Migration Strategies
Retain
Keep the application as-is in its current environment. Monitor performance and re-evaluate during the next planning cycle.
Best when: The app has no pressing business need to change, migration ROI is negative, or regulatory constraints prevent cloud hosting.
Retire
Decommission the application and consolidate its functionality into other systems or eliminate the capability entirely.
Best when: The app is redundant, has very low usage, or its functionality is already covered by another system in the portfolio.
Rehost
Lift and shift the application to cloud virtual machines with minimal changes. Fastest migration path with lowest upfront risk.
Best when: You need to vacate a data center quickly, the app is stable but hosted on aging infrastructure, or you want quick cloud benefits with minimal code changes.
Replatform
Move to managed cloud services with moderate optimization — such as switching to managed databases, container orchestration, or PaaS offerings.
Best when: The app architecture is sound but relies on self-managed infrastructure. Moving to managed services reduces operational burden without a full rewrite.
Refactor
Re-architect the application for cloud-native benefits — break monoliths into microservices, adopt serverless patterns, or leverage cloud-native data stores.
Best when: The app has strong business value but its architecture limits agility, scalability, or cost efficiency. Investment in refactoring pays off through cloud-native advantages.
Rebuild
Rewrite the application from scratch on a cloud-native platform. Maximize modern capabilities but requires the most investment and time.
Best when: The existing codebase is unmaintainable, the technology is end-of-life, or the business needs have changed so dramatically that a fresh start is more efficient than incremental changes.
