Data Migration Estimator

Cost, Risk, and OPEX comparison: Status Quo vs. Optimised Approach.

Migrating unstructured data without cleaning it first leads to bloated cloud bills, extended timelines, and significant compliance risks. You are essentially paying to move digital waste.

The Solution: Clean First

This tool compares the 5-year total cost of the Status Quo (Migrate Everything) against an Optimised Approach (Clean Data First) using Lightning IQ. It also highlights hidden structural risks.
