Right-sizing your license estate for cloud migration

When moving your enterprise workloads to the cloud, thorough pre-planning is essential. This is so you can optimise and achieve maximum commercial benefit, while reducing cost and risk around potential license non-compliance.

As an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, we are certified by AWS to support customers across all AWS cloud migration phases:  Assess, Mobilise, and Migrate & Modernise.

As part of the Assess stage, Version 1’s AWS Optimisation and License Assessment (OLA) will provide insights, deployment options, and potential cost savings across AWS flexible licensing options, ensuring the right license decisions are taken at the start of your migration project.
