The problem

Modernizing Microsoft workloads is hard to scope.

  1. 01
    Unclear migration complexity

    It is hard to know which .NET applications can move to .NET Core and how much effort that takes.

  2. 02
    Windows dependencies

    Applications tied to Windows-only technologies limit your options.

  3. 03
    SQL Server licensing costs

    Licensing and underused infrastructure drive up the cost of running Microsoft workloads.

  4. 04
    Skill gaps

    Developers may not yet have the modern practices needed for cloud-native work.

  5. 05
    No clear priorities

    Without a roadmap, modernization stalls before it delivers value, while licensing and upkeep costs keep running.

How it works

From portfolio to roadmap, in two stages.

A collaborative portfolio analysis, then a modernization roadmap built with you.

Stage 1

Portfolio analysis

  • Application scoring against business, functional, technical, and cost criteria.
  • Automated .NET Core compatibility and migration complexity analysis.
  • Windows-dependent technology review and modernization options.
  • SQL Server usage evaluation and migration options.
  • Skills review with recommended modern development practices.
Stage 2

Modernization roadmap

  • Application categorization with a modernization strategy for each.
  • Recommended tools, technologies, architectures, and processes for your portfolio.
  • A prioritized list of initiatives that deliver quick wins, build momentum, and maximize return on investment (ROI).
  • Scope and effort estimates for the Microsoft applications you target.
Modernization paths we consider
  • SQL Server to Amazon Aurora
  • .NET on Linux
  • Containers
  • Serverless with AWS Lambda
  • Open-source databases
  • Decommission legacy apps
The outcomes

What modernization delivers.

  • Lower licensing costs

    Options such as Amazon Aurora and open-source databases reduce reliance on SQL Server licensing.

  • Greater agility

    Modern .NET frameworks on Linux, containers, and serverless services make change faster.

  • Better performance

    Cloud-native architectures improve how applications use compute and storage.

FAQ

Assessment questions.

What is the Microsoft Modernization Viability Assessment?

A review of your Microsoft application portfolio that ends in a prioritized roadmap to modernize SQL Server and .NET workloads on AWS.

What framework does it follow?

The AWS Microsoft Modernization Program (MMP) framework, which also helps you make the most of available AWS funding.

Which modernization paths do you consider?

Migrating SQL Server to Amazon Aurora or open-source alternatives, refactoring .NET applications to modern frameworks on Linux, adopting containers and serverless services such as AWS Lambda, and decommissioning legacy applications.

How do you assess .NET applications?

We use automated tools to determine .NET Core compatibility and migration complexity.

Do you review our development skills?

Yes. We review development processes and skills and recommend modern practices to close gaps.

What do we get at the end?

A modernization roadmap with categorized applications, recommended approaches, prioritized initiatives, and scope and effort estimates.
