SKYXOPS Edge · Track 2

Cost Every Migration Path Before You Commit to One.

For teams running applications on-prem, or on setups that have aged, choosing a migration path without knowing what it will cost to run.

Start the Application Modernization track

Begins with a free thirty-minute scoping call with a senior engineer.

The problem

Chosen on effort, discovered on the invoice

Migration decisions get made on effort estimates. The run cost arrives afterwards, when the path is already committed.

The easy path is the expensive one

The path that takes the least work to complete is frequently the one that costs the most to operate. That trade-off is knowable up front.

Estimates drift with no checkpoint

Projected and actual cost diverge during a long migration, and nothing forces the plan to be revised until the bill lands.

What we do

A free report to start. Six to ten weeks to execute, with the cost checked at every phase.

ScopeFree call

Application and dependency inventory, run-cost baseline

What you get

Every path costed before you commit

Rehost, replatform and refactor priced against your own current run cost, not an industry average.

An application and dependency inventory

What you are actually running, what it talks to, and what each piece costs today.

A phased migration with cost gates

At each phase the projected run cost is compared with the estimate; divergence revises the plan before the next phase, not after the invoice.

AI enablement designed in

AI systems are part of the plan from the start, with an AI POC included, not bolted on after the migration completes.

Engagement investment and procurement

Investment. Scope and price are agreed per engagement rather than published, because the work is sized to your estimate volume and cloud footprint. Tell us what you are running and we will come back with a scoped quote. Ask for a quote.

AWS funding. Eligible engagements may qualify for AWS funding programs including the Migration Acceleration Program, which now covers generative AI and modernization work. We assess eligibility and manage the funding request with your AWS account team.

Azure and GCP. Equivalent partner funding assessed per engagement.

Procurement. Available through AWS Marketplace, including private offers and milestone billing.

Why teams pick us

We price before you build

The one argument no consultancy can make: the bill is known before the work starts.

Named senior engineers

The people in the review are the people who do the work. No bench.

Delivered on the platform

Delivered on the SKYXOPS Shift-Left FinOps Platform, in your own accounts.

This track starts with a free scoping call.

The scoping call is free, and the scope and price come to you in writing before you commit. Many engagements qualify for AWS partner funding, which can help pay for the track; we check eligibility during scoping. AWS decides.

Read-only. Scoped. Nothing leaves your account.

We request a read-only role: IAM ReadOnlyAccess on AWS, Reader on Azure, Viewer on GCP. Pipeline access is separate, optional, and read-only.

We analyze billing data, resource metadata, and pipeline configuration. We do not access application data, customer data, or production workloads. No production data leaves your environment.

Access is revocable at any time and terminates at the end of the engagement.

What this is not

No sales team on the readout call

A senior engineer presents the findings. Nobody else joins.

No commitment required

When the trial ends, you decide what happens next.

The report is yours regardless

Whatever you decide afterwards, you keep it.

If there is nothing worth doing, we will tell you

We would rather say so up front than sell you an engagement.

Questions

Eligible engagements may qualify for AWS funding programs, including the Migration Acceleration Program, which now covers generative AI and modernization work. We assess eligibility and manage the funding request with your AWS account team. Funding is approved per opportunity and is never guaranteed in advance.

Rehost moves the workload as it is, which is fastest to complete and usually the most expensive to run. Refactor rebuilds it for the platform, which takes longest and usually runs cheapest. Replatform sits between the two. The assessment costs all three against your own baseline.

A checkpoint at the end of each migration phase where the projected run cost is compared against what was estimated. If the two have diverged, the plan is revised before the next phase starts rather than after the invoice arrives.

With a free thirty-minute scoping call. After it, the scope, the timeline and the price come to you in writing, and work begins only when you agree to them.
