AWS Transform: New Agentic Migration Assessment 2026

Building a migration business case just got significantly faster — AWS Transform now brings agentic assessment capabilities that turn complex infrastructure data into actionable migration insights.

For CIOs and IT directors evaluating cloud migration, the challenge has never been the destination — it has been justifying the journey. Assembling accurate total cost of ownership (TCO) data, modeling scenarios, and aligning stakeholders across the organization takes time that most teams simply do not have. AWS Transform addresses this directly with a new set of agentic migration assessment capabilities released in May 2026.

What was announced

AWS announced that AWS Transform now includes advanced migration assessment features designed to accelerate the creation of a migration business case. The update introduces what-if scenario modeling, customizable assumptions, flexible input format support, and multiple new TCO assessment features that work together to shorten the path from discovery to decision.

Organizations can now feed data into AWS Transform from a wide range of sources — including RVTools exports, CMDB data, outputs from the AWS Transform discovery tool itself, and exports from a broad variety of third-party discovery tools. The platform processes this data to generate comprehensive migration assessments without requiring teams to standardize on a single input format first.

Why this matters

Enterprises across the CEE region are under increasing pressure to modernize infrastructure while controlling costs. Migration projects frequently stall at the business case phase because assembling reliable TCO data across heterogeneous on-premises environments is labor-intensive and error-prone. The new AWS Transform capabilities reduce this friction substantially.

By enabling what-if scenario comparisons with customized assumptions — covering AWS region selection, resource utilization rates, and service mapping — IT decision-makers can evaluate multiple migration paths in parallel and identify the most cost-effective approach before committing resources. This is particularly valuable for organizations managing large, complex workloads where the migration path is not obvious.

The inclusion of the Cloud Value Framework pillars — staff productivity, operational resilience, business agility, and sustainability — means assessments now reflect the full business value of migration, not just raw infrastructure costs. This gives IT leaders a stronger foundation for executive-level conversations about migration investment.
