Executive Summary Our local gov client: The County Clerk of Courts seeks architectural guidance regarding the future-state hosting strategy for its Court Management System (CMS) environment. The objective of this engagement is to evaluate cloud deployment alternatives, compare Azure Government and AWS GovCloud capabilities, assess migration approaches for existing workloads, and develop an executive-level recommendation and roadmap. The current environment includes IBM Power Systems running AIX, IBM LPAR virtualization, Oracle-based application components, Uniface application servers, and .NET web applications. The client requires a cloud architecture assessment to determine viability, migration complexity, disaster recovery options, risk considerations, security implications, and estimated operating costs across cloud platforms. This assessment is advisory in nature and does not include migration execution.

Duration: 120 hours Objectives DATAMTX will assist County Clerk of Courts to: Assess current CMS infrastructure Review application dependencies Analyze IBM platform considerations Compare Azure Government and AWS GovCloud Evaluate lift-and-shift feasibility Evaluate disaster recovery strategies Review CJIS considerations Identify network and connectivity requirements Develop migration options Provide executive recommendation Deliver high-level cost comparisons Develop phased migration roadmap
