Migration Journey Map

AWS Migration Acceleration Program

Migration Isn't a Single Event. It's a Funded, Structured Journey.

The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) provides funding, methodology, and support for organizations migrating to AWS. CleanSlate, as an AWS Premier Partner, accesses MAP on behalf of qualifying clients to offset the cost of every phase of the journey.

The MAP Journey

How the Four Phases Work

01
Assess

COBRA™ Assessment

~4 hours of your time. ~2 weeks. A defensible business case with real numbers from your actual environment. In most cases, fully funded.

Deliverables
  • TCO analysis
  • Migration readiness score
  • Licensing cost model
  • Prioritized roadmap
02
RAMP

Funded Up to $75K

The RAMP Assess phase funds deeper technical discovery, wave planning, and migration architecture design. AWS funding offsets a significant portion of this work.

Deliverables
  • Detailed wave plan
  • Landing zone design
  • Application disposition
  • Risk mitigation plan
03
Mobilize

Build the Foundation

Landing zone deployment, security baseline, connectivity setup, and migration tooling configuration. The infrastructure that makes migration predictable and safe.

Deliverables
  • AWS landing zone
  • Security controls
  • Network architecture
  • Tooling setup
04
Migrate & Modernize

Execution and Value

Wave-based migration of workloads, followed by modernization of the applications that benefit from architectural improvement. Delivered in iterations that produce value at each stage.

Deliverables
  • Migrated workloads
  • Modernized applications
  • Operational runbooks
  • Knowledge transfer
Why MAP With CleanSlate

AWS Premier Status Changes the Funding Equation

Fewer than 1% of AWS partners worldwide hold Premier Tier status. MAP funding access, co-sell support, and validated delivery capability are only available at this tier. The funding that CleanSlate can access for qualifying clients is substantially larger than what non-Premier partners can offer.

Our 85+ AWS certifications cover the technical breadth required to execute complex migrations, not just routine workload moves. VMware, IBM DB2, Oracle, HashiCorp, Windows Server, SQL Server, all covered under CleanSlate's COBRA and MAP programs.

The Right First Step

Every Migration Journey Starts With COBRA™

COBRA™ is the diagnostic that determines which path is right for your environment. It produces the financial case, the roadmap, and the MAP funding eligibility confirmation before any commitment is made.
