Challenge

Consulting companies specialising in Cloud migrations often face challenges when clients resist paying an initial Cloud assessment. The main issue stems from the perception that the assessment is an “additional cost” with no immediate value to the core goal of migration, which is the transfer of the applications to the Cloud.

From the organisation’s perspective, the need for Cloud migration often stems from a desire to reduce costs, increase efficiency or modernise operations. In some cases, the initial assessment is done as a very first step of the migration journey and they are cautious about any upfront investments to third-party consultancies.

Cloud application assessments are often perceived as an “additional cost” by organisations. Streamlining this process and minimising costs can deliver significant value.

Solution

Our goal is to provide a tool that streamlines and expedites the initial Cloud assessment phase and that can be leveraged by Consultancy organisations and businesses planning a Cloud migration, without the need of lengthy engagements and training.

Our solution, AI Cloud Migrator, simplifies the process of assessing applications and determining the optimal Cloud migration strategy. By combining application-specific information with the organisation’s Cloud goals, the tool leverages AI to analyse the provided information and recommend a tailored migration strategy. While larger consulting firms may have proprietary tools for data collection, our tool uses of AI to integrate technical details with Cloud objectives, delivering a cohesive and actionable migration strategy.

The application delivers a user-friendly experience with seamless AI integration working in the background. Users can align the application migration strategies with the organisation's Cloud goals and strategy, while easily tracking progress and insights throughout the process.


My Role

As the Product Manager, I am responsible for developing the application roadmap, conducting market research, and leading its launch to market. In addition to my product management role, I serve as the AI and Technical Lead, developing the interface with the AI model and driving the optimisation and customisation of AI functionalities (e.g. fine-tuning, prompt engineering). Leading a team of an engineer and a Cloud architect, I oversee the delivery and integration of the solution to third-party systems.

The application also allows the bulk assessment of applications to identify the optimal migration strategy for each one, in alignment alignment with the organisation's Ccloud strategy and goals.


Results

We have partnered with smaller Consulting organizations to significantly streamline the assessment phase, reducing both its duration and resource demands.

From the initial implementation, the tool demonstrates a 60% decrease in assessment phase duration and a 50% reduction in resource demands
