WEI's OLA delivers vendor-neutral analysis of infrastructure utilization, Microsoft licensing, and workload dependencies - identifying cost savings and building a prioritized AWS migration roadmap.
Overview
Organizations moving to AWS or scaling existing cloud environments frequently carry oversized infrastructure, misaligned software licensing, and limited visibility into actual workload utilization. These gaps lead to unnecessary cost, delayed migrations, and optimization efforts that lack a data-driven foundation.
WEI's Optimization and Licensing Assessment (OLA) gives infrastructure, operations, and finance teams a clear, fact-based picture of where cost reduction and licensing efficiency opportunities exist - before migration spending is committed and before cloud bills grow unchecked.
What the Assessment Covers
- Workload utilization analysis across physical, virtual (VMware), and existing cloud environments
- Microsoft licensing review: SQL Server, Windows Server, and hybrid benefit scenarios
- Right-sizing analysis against current and next-generation EC2 instance families
- BYOL versus license-included cost modeling across deployment options
- Identification of overprovisioned, idle, and zombie resources
- Database consolidation and modernization opportunities including managed services, open-source alternatives, and Aurora
- Application dependency mapping to support migration sequencing
Deliverables
Each engagement produces a comprehensive set of outputs:
- Current-state assessment summary
- Workload-level optimization findings
- Licensing analysis and savings scenarios
- Target-state recommendations
- Executive-ready roadmap for next steps
Reports are formatted for both architecture teams and executive stakeholders, ensuring alignment across technical and business decision-makers.
Engagement Model
The OLA is typically delivered in 4-6 weeks across four phases: Scoping and Planning, Data Collection and Discovery, Analysis and Modeling, and Final Readout with Deliverables. The engagement begins with a scoping conversation to define environment boundaries, access requirements, and timeline. To start, request a private offer through AWS Marketplace or book a scoping call at https://www.wei.com/contact-us/ .
Data Handling and Security
WEI collects infrastructure utilization metrics and licensing data using read-only access to your environments. All collected data is used solely for the purposes of the assessment and is not shared with third parties. Data is transmitted securely and access is limited to the WEI team members assigned to your engagement. Specific data retention timelines and deletion procedures are confirmed during the scoping phase to align with your organization's requirements.
Why WEI
WEI combines deep Microsoft licensing expertise with AWS infrastructure knowledge to deliver analysis that spans both on-premises and cloud environments. The assessment is vendor-neutral - recommendations are based on actual utilization data rather than predetermined outcomes. Findings integrate directly into follow-on implementation services if you choose to proceed, eliminating the gap between assessment and action.
Highlights
- Analyze actual resource utilization, licensing posture, and application dependencies across on-premises, VMware, and existing cloud environments to identify savings opportunities before and after migration.
- Receive workload-level right-sizing recommendations, BYOL versus license-included scenarios, and modernization options, including managed database services, open-source alternatives, and newer EC2 generations.
- Deliverables include a current-state findings report, licensing analysis, savings scenarios, and a prioritized optimization roadmap — formatted for both architecture teams and executive stakeholders.

Engagement Phases
The OLA is typically delivered in 4-6 weeks across the following phases:
- Scoping and Planning - Define environment boundaries, access requirements, and timeline
- Data Collection and Discovery - Deploy discovery tooling and gather utilization metrics
- Analysis and Modeling - Perform right-sizing, licensing, and modernization analysis
- Final Readout and Deliverables - Present findings, savings scenarios, and roadmap
Buyer Responsibilities
Buyers are expected to provide read-only access to virtualization platforms (e.g., vCenter), AWS accounts, or on-premises infrastructure as applicable. A designated technical point of contact is required to coordinate access, validate findings, and participate in the final readout. Specific access requirements and prerequisites are confirmed during the scoping phase.
Post-Engagement Support
WEI's team is available after deliverable handoff to answer questions about findings and recommendations. For ongoing inquiries or to discuss follow-on implementation services, contact WEI through the same channels used during the engagement or via
