Most migration risk comes from the dependencies you didn't know about.
Cloud migrations over-run and break things when the estate and its dependencies aren't fully understood. Readiness turns migration from discovery-as-you-go into a planned programme.
uControl Insights discovers the on-prem and cloud estate and its network flow, and uControl Core maps dependencies and helps plan migration waves — so you migrate on evidence.
Executive summary
Cloud Migration Readiness gives you an evidence-based plan before you move. Insights discovers on-prem and cloud assets and reads network flow; Core maps dependencies and groups assets into migration waves.
You reduce risk, avoid breaking dependencies mid-migration, and cut rework.
The business challenge
Migrations go wrong because:
- The full estate isn't known
- Dependencies are undocumented
- Waves are planned on guesswork
- Things break when a dependency is left behind
- Cloud cost and footprint are unclear
So migrations slip, break and cost more than planned.
The uControl approach
uControl maps before you move. Insights discovers on-prem and cloud assets and materialises communication paths from flow; Core assembles dependency models and groups assets into migration waves, with cost context to inform the plan.
How it works
On-prem & cloud discovery Insights
Insights discovers the full hybrid estate — servers, cloud resources and their relationships.
Dependency mapping Core
Core maps single- and multi-tier dependencies so nothing critical is left behind.
Wave planning Core
Group interdependent assets into migration waves to avoid breaking dependencies mid-move.
Cost & footprint context Insights Core
Cloud cost analytics inform right-sizing and the business case.
Validate after move Core
Re-discover and reconcile to confirm the target matches the plan.
Customer journey
- Discover Insights discovers on-prem and cloud assets and flow.
- Map Core assembles dependency models.
- Plan Group assets into safe migration waves.
- Migrate Move waves without breaking dependencies.
- Validate Reconcile the target estate against the plan.
Key capabilities
Business benefits
Illustrative scenario
A migration was scoped from a spreadsheet that missed cross-system dependencies.
uControl discovered the on-prem and cloud estate and mapped its dependencies, and Core grouped assets into migration waves — surfacing dependencies that would have broken a naive move and letting the team migrate in a safe, planned sequence.
Frequently asked questions
How do you find hidden dependencies?
Insights discovers assets and reads network flow to reveal real communication paths, and Core maps the dependencies — including ones no inventory records.
Can it help plan the sequence?
Yes — Core groups interdependent assets into migration waves so dependencies aren't broken mid-move.
Does it help the cloud business case?
Yes — cloud cost analytics inform right-sizing and the case for the move.
