Migration as a Service (MaaS) is a model where a third-party provider manages and delivers migration services to organizations that require the transfer of their applications, data, or IT infrastructure to a new environment. This could be moving data or applications from on-premises data centers to the cloud or transferring workloads between different cloud platforms.

The primary goal of MaaS is to help organizations simplify the migration process, reduce costs, and mitigate risks associated with moving their IT assets. The migration process can be complex, time-consuming, and challenging, especially when there are many interdependent components involved. MaaS providers take care of the entire migration process, from planning to execution, providing a turnkey solution that makes the process more manageable.

MaaS providers typically offer the following services:

• Migration planning: A MaaS provider will work with the organization to understand their migration goals, identify critical dependencies, and develop a detailed migration plan that meets the organization’s specific needs.
• Data migration: A MaaS provider will use a range of tools and techniques to migrate data from the source environment to the destination environment, ensuring the data is secure, accurate, and in compliance with any regulatory requirements.
• Application migration: A MaaS provider will help to migrate applications to the new environment, including any configuration changes and customizations required to make the application run effectively in the new environment.
• Infrastructure migration: A MaaS provider will help to transfer IT infrastructure, such as servers, storage, and networking, from the source environment to the destination environment, ensuring that the environment is configured correctly and ready for use.
