Comprehensive Licensing Assessment
Can I migrate an entire workload to AWS? Unlock agility and growth while reducing complexity and cost. TekStream provides a comprehensive, license-agnostic review of your workloads — on-prem, in the cloud or both — and converts real usage data into a rightsized AWS environment.
The outcome: an actionable, ROI-backed roadmap that eliminates waste, safeguards compliance and enables rapid migration and long-term modernization.
The Challenges AWS Cloud Migration Solves
IT and finance leaders face mounting pressure to cut costs, improve performance and avoid disruptive audits. TekStream helps pinpoint where inefficiencies and risks truly lie.
Control Rising Costs
Licensing and infrastructure spend can quickly become unsustainable. TekStream highlights where you’re overpaying and identifies opportunities to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO).
Improve Performance
Workloads that are overprovisioned or poorly aligned with business needs drag down efficiency. We ensure your environment is rightsized and optimized for peak performance.
Escape Vendor Lock-In
Escalating prices, aggressive audits and strained vendor relationships are costly distractions. Discover a clear path to reduce dependency on high-cost vendors and regain flexibility.
The Outcomes You Can Expect

One Comprehensive Review = Better Results
Hyperscalers or point-solution vendors may only be able to analyze one piece of your environment, but TekStream evaluates your entire licensing and workload footprint. By reviewing Oracle, Microsoft, VMware and storage together, we deliver a single, comprehensive view that uncovers hidden risks and opportunities — translating them into a more accurate AWS roadmap.
From Insight to Action
What’s in an AWS License Assessment?
Your specialized assessment goes far beyond surface-level analysis. TekStream combines deep discovery with practical recommendations, giving you the visibility to uncover inefficiencies, the clarity to act with confidence and the business case to align your organization on the path forward.
See the Whole Picture
Every successful migration begins with visibility. TekStream reviews your entire environment to uncover blind spots from unused entitlements and overlapping contracts to gaps in compliance and misaligned spend. By surfacing where usage and costs don’t align, we establish the baseline you need to plan effectively and make smarter, cost-conscious decisions.
Turn Insights Into Savings
Discovery alone isn’t enough; it must lead to action. TekStream maps your workloads and licenses to AWS services that fit real usage patterns, not assumptions. The result is a future-state plan that trims unnecessary costs, rightsizes licenses for current needs, and uncovers opportunities to modernize efficiently without overspending.
Migrate With Confidence
Cloud migration requires more than technical expertise. Our assessment produces detailed scopes, effort ranges and projected savings, along with access to AWS funding programs. With clear budgets and timelines in hand, you can secure executive buy-in, allocate resources wisely and accelerate time to value.
Stay Ahead of Audit Risk
Unexpected audits don’t disappear in the cloud. TekStream helps you identify and mitigate potential risks by consolidating exposure across vendors and integrating compliance practices into your migration strategy. This proactive approach reduces the likelihood of costly disruptions and provides your team with long-term peace of mind.
One Case for Enterprise-Wide ROI
Technology decisions ripple across the business. TekStream consolidates findings into a single, enterprise-wide business case, featuring quantified savings, projected ROI and modernization benefits. The result? IT and business leaders aligned around a clear roadmap that demonstrates the full value of migrating with AWS.
How the TekStream AWS License Assessment Works

Migration Strategies Informed by Your License Assessment
An AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment determines which migration strategy is most suitable for each workload. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, it highlights the best path forward based on speed, cost and modernization goals.
Rehost
(Lift and Shift)
The fastest way to move workloads to AWS with minimal change. Rehosting reduces migration time and disruption, creating a quick win while laying the foundation for future optimization.
Replatform
Retain your core architecture while upgrading specific components for AWS. This approach strikes a balance between speed and efficiency, enhancing performance without the complexity of a full rebuild.
Refactor
Reimagine workloads with AWS-native services to unlock agility and long-term innovation. Refactoring takes more upfront investment but delivers the greatest benefits for critical workloads.
Hybrid/
Cloud-Native
Adopt a phased approach by combining on-prem systems with AWS solutions. Hybrid models reduce risk, support compliance and let you modernize at a pace that fits your business.
