AWS MAP Assess – Migration Acceleration Program by Cintra
Enterprise migrations are complex: fragmented estates, unknown dependencies, legacy platforms, and high perceived risk. AWS MAP Assess replaces guesswork with a structured, funded assessment that evaluates your readiness, identifies capability gaps, and builds a migration TCO model aligned to the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework.
Cintra layers on deep database, Oracle, and modernization expertise. Using tool-driven discovery and structured workshops, we analyse your applications, databases, and infrastructure to produce a multi-year TCO and modernization roadmap. For many customers, this MAP Assess phase provides the clarity and confidence they need to move into mobilization and migration with AWS investment behind them.
- AWS MAP Assess (Readiness and Business Case)
- MAP Mobilize (Foundation and Landing Zone)
- MAP Migrate and Modernize (Execution and Modernization)
From ad-hoc migration ideas to a structured AWS MAP Assess plan
Accelerate your move to AWS with AWS MAP Assess – Cintra’s funded entry point into the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP). As a specialist AWS migration partner, Cintra uses MAP Assess to give you a data-driven, board-ready migration and modernization plan, backed by AWS funding, proven methodology, and deep Oracle and database expertise.
Why Cintra for AWS MAP Assess?
AWS MAP is delivered through a global partner ecosystem. Cintra specializes in database-heavy, Oracle-centric migrations and turns AWS MAP Assess into a practical, low-risk journey for complex workloads.
Specialist AWS MAP Assess partner for Oracle and database workloads, with funded assessments for Oracle, SQL Server, and mixed estates.
Deep expertise across all three MAP phases (Assess, Mobilize, and Migrate and Modernize) with offers specifically tailored for Oracle and Oracle-to-PostgreSQL transformations.
Outcome-driven rather than tooling-driven, with multi-year TCO, migration timelines, and modernization options included in the MAP Assess output.
Landing zone and pilot migration ready, with MAP Assess feeding seamlessly into Cintra’s MAP Mobilize services.
Funding aligned to AWS MAP, helping you maximise AWS service credits and partner funding to offset assessment and migration costs.
AWS MAP Assess: Readiness, TCO and Business Case
The AWS MAP Assess phase is your structured starting point: a funded engagement that builds a migration and modernization business case across the dimensions of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework, including business, process, people, platform, operations, and security.
Cintra’s MAP Assess for Oracle workloads and Oracle-to-PostgreSQL goes further, using discovery tooling and focused workshops to capture application, database, and infrastructure requirements in detail.
Discovery and current-state analysis
Tool-driven discovery and rapid discovery for databases and workloads.
Workshops covering application, database, and cloud topics.
Capture of platform, database instance and schema, and application requirements using structured MAP Assess workbooks.
Readiness and capability assessment
Analysis of migration readiness across people, process, platform, operations, and security.
Identification of capability gaps that must be closed before large-scale migration.
Assessment of risk areas such as unsupported platforms, high-availability dependencies, and compliance constraints.
TCO and business case modelling
Multi-year TCO modelling for AWS cloud services across infrastructure, application, and database layers.
Cost projections for migration and modernization services, including MAP Mobilize and MAP Migrate and Modernize phases.
Comparative view versus current data center and licensing costs.
Assess analysis report and recommendations
Executive summary of the AWS MAP Assess findings.
Clearly defined migration scope for Oracle workloads, Oracle-to-PostgreSQL, or mixed estates.
Target platform design and high-level migration roadmap.
Application refactoring and non-functional requirements, including uptime service levels, security, and compliance.
A complete AWS MAP Assess report with TCO, scope, and roadmap.
Clarity on what to migrate, how to migrate, and in what order.
Confidence to progress into MAP Mobilize with AWS funding and a solid business case.
MAP Mobilize with Cintra: foundation, landing zone and pilots
Once AWS MAP Assess is complete, the MAP Mobilize phase builds the operational foundation for your migration. This phase focuses on closing capability gaps and preparing your environment for large-scale migration.
Cintra’s MAP Mobilize for Oracle workloads uses the data from MAP Assess to design and build a secure AWS landing zone, document operational and security runbooks, and run pilot migrations to reduce risk before full-scale execution.
AWS landing zone ready for production migration, including networking, identity, monitoring, backup, and resilience foundations.
Detailed designs for applications and databases, incorporating dependencies and high-availability and disaster recovery patterns.
Documented security, access management, operational, and backup and recovery runbooks.
PoC pilot migrations to validate the migration approach and establish runbooks.
Migration of lower non-production environments following successful pilots.
MAP Migrate and Modernize: execute at scale
The Migrate and Modernize phase of AWS MAP uses AWS migration services, partners, and best practices to execute the large-scale migration plan built in earlier phases.
Cintra brings specialist skills in Oracle, databases, and modernization to PostgreSQL, combining zero-downtime migration patterns, modernization accelerators, and managed services to ensure your journey goes beyond simple lift and shift.
Migration & Modernization Roadmap
Dedicated specialist migration team to minimize risk and accelerate migration timelines.
Best practice, proven migration patterns to execute the large-scale migration plan.
Migration of Oracle and other databases to AWS native services such as EC2, RDS, OracleDatabase@AWS, or PostgreSQL.
Use of zero-downtime migration methods where required for mission-critical systems.
