Solution brief Radius Migrate & Modernize
Key takeaways
- RADIUS is a rapid assessment engagement — using AI/agentic discovery tooling plus workshops, it categorizes legacy apps into 7 "R's" (Retire, Retain, Replace, Rehost, Refactor, Rearchitect, Re-envision) to build a fast, clear modernization roadmap.
- Five concrete deliverables come out of it — executive summary, BVC (business value case) report with ROI metrics, workload detail, cloud consumption/cost plan, and project plans & SOW — plus a readout on workloads eligible for AWS's Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) to offset migration costs.
- RADIUS feeds directly into execution — depending on scope, it transitions into either a fixed-fee Implementation project (defined scope/timeline) or a capacity-based DEVSHOP® engagement (exploratory/agile), both leveraging human and AI/agent developers.
Introduction
Are your legacy applications creating a constant uphill battle? Many organizations face this challenge: a sprawling portfolio of aging apps, each with its own complexities. It’s a continuous effort to maintain current operations while driving innovation, plus a significant time and financial investment needed for modernization. Navigating the vast landscape of new automation and AI technologies to find tangible value is a significant challenge. Our structured RADIUS Migrate & Modernize engagement provides a clear, efficient, and accelerated path to cloud migration and application modernization, leveraging the power of automation and AI to deliver clarity and tangible results.
What to expect
RADIUS Migrate & Modernize is a short, rapid-time-to-value engagement, depending on portfolio size, that uses a discovery agent to speed recommendations and application categorization in 7 “R’s.” Using an approach that combines brief workshops to identify and gain context on target applications, and an agent to automate code analysis and “R” categorization, the Insight team will drive speed and optimization into the assessment process.
As a key takeaway, we’ll provide a readout for migration workloads that are eligible to be migrated via AWS’s Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) which helps to offset the cost of migration. This covers common scenarios like rehost, .NET, or Java framework upgrades, among others.
Tangible takeaways
1. Executive summary
A brief, high-impact overview of key opportunities and risks, with clear, actionable recommendations for stakeholders
2. BVC report
Quantifies ROI with clear financial and operational metrics. Highlights value drivers and growth opportunities.
3. Workload detail
Identify all workloads eligible for migration via AWS’s MAP program.
4. Cloud consumption plan
Details the workloads and estimated monthly cost
5. Project plans & SOW
A delivery roadmap — whether project-based or capacity-driven — defining scope, objectives, timelines, roles, and responsibilities
Maintain momentum.
Depending on the scope uncovered during RADIUS™, we’ll move into either a fixed-fee implementation project or a capacity-based DEVSHOP® to build the solution. Both approaches are cost-optimized and focus on accelerating construction by leveraging both human and agent developers.
