Cloud migration is often framed as an infrastructure challenge.
But in many organisations, the real blocker is not the cloud platform. It is the lack of visibility across the application estate.
Before deciding what to move, where to host it, or how to sequence migration waves, teams need to understand:
- Which applications exist
- Who owns them
- How critical they are to the business
- What condition they are in
- What data they use
- Which systems they depend on
- What regulatory or jurisdictional constraints apply
Without that architecture context, migration planning can quickly become spreadsheet-led, subjective, and risky.
See this follow-on article to the HMx Labs case study, we explore why successful cloud migration needs enterprise architecture before infrastructure, and how Waltz can help organisations build the evidence-based decision model needed to migrate with confidence.
Because you cannot migrate what you do not understand.
And you cannot govern what you cannot see.
