Cloud Modernisation Services | Future-Ready Infrastructure

What is MAP and Why Does It Matter?

The AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) is a proven, comprehensive cloud migration framework from Amazon Web Services. It is designed to help enterprises move to the cloud efficiently and confidently. MAP combines expert guidance, AWS funding support, pre-trained AI services, and cloud-native tooling to accelerate the modernisation of legacy applications and infrastructure.

Delivered through certified AWS MAP Partners like D55, the program ensures a well-governed, secure, and scalable transition to the cloud. Whether you’re planning an enterprise cloud migration or exploring how to adopt AWS migration services for AI/ML use cases, MAP reduces risk and increases speed to value.

Energy Sector Use Case: Powering Modernisation at Scale

The energy industry faces significant digital transformation challenges: ageing infrastructure, high operational risk, and increasing regulatory pressure to decarbonise. MAP offers energy companies a structured, scalable path to cloud adoption—one that supports both operational resilience and long-term sustainability.

At D55, we work with energy providers to:

Migrate SCADA and legacy OT systems to secure cloud environments
Modernise asset management and field operations using cloud-native tools
Deploy AI/ML models for predictive maintenance and performance optimisation
Build scalable data platforms for emissions tracking and ESG reporting

By combining the AWS MAP framework with our deep energy expertise, D55 helps energy clients reduce costs, strengthen compliance, and gain real-time insight across distributed operations.

Breaking Down the MAP Framework

MAP is structured into three strategic phases:

Assess
We evaluate your current environment, calculate total cost of ownership (TCO), assess security posture, and build a tailored business case for migration.

Mobilise
We prepare the foundations for migration, including secure landing zones, team enablement, and workload planning. For energy firms, this phase may also involve preparing for AI/ML workloads using services like AWS SageMaker and integrating with industrial data sources.

Migrate & Modernise
We execute the migration and begin modernising applications to take full advantage of cloud-native functionality. From upstream operations to smart grid initiatives, this stage unlocks speed, visibility, and innovation.
