W.H.A.L.E. Assessment:
Workload Holistic Assessment & Licensing Evaluation
Start with Clarity. Migrate with Confidence.
Cloud migration is a major investment — but do you have the complete picture?
The AWS-funded W.H.A.L.E. Assessment, delivered by EPI-USE, helps you uncover hidden risks, eliminate waste, and build a smarter migration plan tailored to your unique workload and licensing environment.
