How an assessment may pay for your next move
Many organisations delay decisions because they assume funding is unavailable or the process is too complex. In reality, structured assessments often reveal hidden support that can offset costs.

Cloud providers and their partners offer funding for assessments, proof-of-concepts, and migrations. These can include financial credits, service vouchers, or cost-sharing arrangements. The goal is to reduce upfront expense and encourage informed adoption.
For example, qualifying workloads may receive assessment funding worth tens of thousands of pounds. That turns a perceived cost into a strategic opportunity.
An independent assessment validates your readiness for migration. It benchmarks workloads, analyses performance data, and identifies optimisation routes. Providers use these insights to justify funding because they reduce project risk.
This makes the assessment a gateway to potential financial support. It also gives leadership a clear, evidence-based business case.
Funding is not just about discounts. It ensures planning accuracy and mitigates risk. By working with an approved partner, organisations can avoid hidden costs linked to licensing, compliance, and partner changes.
Assessments align objectives between IT and finance. The outcome is a shared understanding of investment, return, and risk tolerance.
Migration funding exists for those who prepare properly. A no-cost assessment can reveal options and secure financial backing, reducing both uncertainty and expense.
