An AWS migration partner designs, moves and hardens workloads on Amazon Web Services with you. Doing it yourself means your staff runs the Well-Architected work, cutover and cost review. TiCON is an AWS Partner you hire when you want that partner model — not when your team already runs AWS every day and only needs a second pair of eyes.
DIY is reasonable when the estate is small, the team already operates AWS, and downtime windows are easy. A partner is reasonable when several accounts, identities and data stores must move, or when you want an independent Well-Architected review.
| Hire a partner | Do it yourself |
|---|---|
| Multi-account cutover, identity, data and networking together | A single app your team already runs on AWS |
| You want a Well-Architected review plus remediation | You only need to move a sandbox |
| No in-house AWS architect this quarter | Staff already run production AWS weekly |
If you need a staff-aug AWS engineer inside Jira and already own the landing zone, start with team augmentation instead of a migration program. If the destination is not AWS, this page does not apply.
