Kevin Webb from Ingram Micro highlighted the critical timing for organisations to rethink their technology strategy, particularly in response to recent VMware pricing changes. A significant majority, around 74%, of VMware customers are actively exploring alternatives, creating an opportunity to leverage strategic incentives offered by hyperscalers like AWS.

Paul Rhodes from Perform Partners emphasised the importance of risk-based approaches to migration. A thorough understanding of your current IT estate is essential to avoid common pitfalls such as licensing complexities, legacy technology constraints, and unexpected dependencies. “Detailed discovery and clear communication of business goals are foundational,” Rhodes noted.

Paul Gordon and Eric Slagle of Matilda Cloud introduced their powerful AI-driven assessment and automation platform. Their non-intrusive discovery tools give organisations comprehensive visibility into existing environments, applications, and dependencies. Automated assessment capabilities significantly reduce manual effort, providing precise migration recommendations tailored to optimise cost, minimise risk, and enhance performance.
