Accelerating migration assessments and planning with AWS Transform

This article introduces AWS Transform assessments, which uses agentic AI to accelerate migration planning by generating data-driven Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) business cases from server inventory in minutes.

• Supports multiple input formats including AWS Transform discovery tool, RVTools, AWS Migration Evaluator, and CMDB data exports
• Interactive chat interface allows real-time refinement of business cases without re-running full assessments
• Enables adjusting on-premises costs, modeling alternative AWS services, and adding missing inventory through natural language prompts
• Supports what-if scenarios and estimations for early-stage migration conversations with incomplete data
• Customizable assumptions for target Region, pricing models, licensing approaches, and utilization thresholds
• Covers compute, SQL Server, storage, WorkSpaces, VMware licensing, sustainability, and cloud economics value pillars
• Generates downloadable PDF business cases, detailed data exports, and executive presentations for stakeholder reviews

AWS Transform transforms migration planning from static spreadsheet exercises into interactive workspaces where business cases evolve through conversation, reducing time to first assessment and enabling faster strategic discussions.
