1. What is the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP)?
Answer: MAP is AWS’s structured, three-phase program—Assess, Mobilize, and Migrate & Modernize—designed to accelerate large-scale migrations. It provides tools, training, and AWS funding to cover migration planning, execution, and optimization
2. Who is eligible for MAP funding?
Answer: MAP funding is available through certified AWS Migration Competency Partners. It supports migrations ranging from hundreds of thousands to multi‐million‑dollar ARR workloads—especially those moving from legacy or VMware environments .
3. How much funding or credits can we receive?
Answer: You can get a combination of free AWS credits and partner funding covering migration and modernization costs. Depending on migration size and SPIs (Strategic Partner Incentives), this support can be substantial—AWS recently expanded funding with streamlined approval to support very large deals .
4. How does the MAP process actually work?
Answer:
- Assess Phase: We evaluate your current setup and migration readiness.
- Mobilize Phase: We build your AWS landing zone, business case, and tagging strategy.
- Migrate & Modernize: We migrate your workloads, optimize architecture, and modernize where needed
5. What are Strategic Partner Incentives (SPIs)?
Answer: SPIs are bonus funding you can unlock by engaging in key migration scenarios—such as greenfield deployments, VMware-to-AWS migrations, or modernization projects—making larger migrations even more cost-effective .
6. Why use MAP vs. self-funded migration?
Answer: Without MAP, you risk:
1. Data loss or downtime
2. High upfront migration and optimization costs
3. Lack of best-practice frameworks
4. Security, reliability, and performance gaps
With MAP, AWS provides funding, expert guidance, tooling, and a proven methodology to mitigate these risks.
7. What’s the timeframe from kickoff to migration completion?
Answer: Leveraging AWS-certified tooling, our experts, and MAP-backed funding, a full migration and modernization can happen in weeks—not months.
8. Do we stay locked into AWS after migration?
Answer: No. We build using open-source, portable infrastructure and follow best practices—so there’s no vendor lock-in.
9. What ongoing support is included post-migration?
Answer: After go-live, we provide infrastructure optimization and support under fixed monthly pricing. We also help you leverage AWS Support as needed. MAP’s funding even covers the Mobilize and modernization stages, not just migration
10. How do we get started?
Answer:
1. Schedule a discovery session with our migration experts.
2. We identify your MAP eligibility and submit funding requests via AWS Partner Funding Portal.
3. AWS approves the plan, and we launch your migration journey.
