ACCENTURE + AWS VMWARE MIGRATION PROGRAM.

The real risk isn't migration. It's missing the moment to modernize. 

"Riding it out" isn't a neutral choice. It compounds every quarter you don't have a plan. And the alternatives being marketed as quick escapes — Nutanix, Azure VMware Solution, or a private cloud rebuild — carry their own version of the same problem: they solve for licensing relief but don't position your infrastructure for what comes next. 

Four things happen simultaneously when you stay without a strategy: 

01
Licensing costs keep growing. 
Broadcom's bundle pricing includes capabilities you likely don't use — and the cost trajectory compounds with every renewal.  
02
Security debt accumulates. 
Aging hardware, unsupported components, and slowing patch cycles create attack surfaces your security team may not have full visibility into. 
03
Talent becomes  harder to hold. 
VMware-only experience is a shrinking résumé asset. Staying on a platform the market is cautious of makes it harder to hire and harder to retain. 
04
Your strategic  window tightens.
The longer you wait, the less time you have to use this moment as a foundation for AI readiness, modernization, and long-term agility. 

The question isn't whether to move. The question is whether you use this moment to build a stronger infrastructure foundation — on your terms. 

What organizations like yours have already achieved.

Customer outcomes are specific to each organization's environment, workload profile, and migration approach.

The full no-cost toolkit combines three components. The AWS Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) analyzes your licensing exposure. AWS Transform — an agentic AI service purpose-built for VMware modernization — delivers the business case and TCO modeling in as little as 1-2 weeks. The Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) activates the promotional funding to execute. No commitment, no disruption to your environment. 

What the right platform should look like. 

Before you evaluate any migration path, establish the criteria your next platform must meet.

Reliability. 
AWS operates in 123 Availability Zones across 39 geographic regions, engineered for fault isolation and low-latency failover. AWS has delivered the fewest service disruptions and shortest average downtime of any major cloud provider over the past seven years. 
Security And Compliance. 
AWS holds 143 security standards and compliance certifications — including PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, and GDPR. Your workloads inherit a compliance posture that would take years and significant capital to replicate in a self-managed environment. 
Financial Programs That Change The Math. 

The no-cost AWS OLA models your environment before you spend a dollar. The MAP provides service credits up to 25% of post-migration AWS annual recurring revenue. The VMware Migration Accelerator offsets parallel environment costs during transition, with ISV tool funding up to $2M per customer, stackable with MAP. 

Delivery Credibility. 
Accenture is the 2025 AWS Global Migration Consulting Partner of the Year — for the second consecutive year — with 20,000+ AWS certified professionals and 30,000+ credentials. Mid-market organizations get the confidence to move without putting operations at risk. 

Why Accenture + AWS?
