The Broadcom Challenge

The Disruption
is Real

Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has forced enterprises to evaluate alternatives — but traditional assessment approaches are too slow, too expensive, and go stale before ink is dry.

📉
CMDB Accuracy
40–70%
Most enterprise CMDBs — the data migration decisions are based on
💸
Traditional Assessment Cost
$16K–$100K+
Manual platform scoring, vendor research, and stale scorecards
🕐
Time to Go Stale
Day 1
Static PDFs are outdated the moment a platform ships a new release
Discovery Gap
CMDB Enrichment
AI cross-references ServiceNow + Device42 + RVTools exports. Every dependency confidence-scored. Documents and runbooks mined via NLP. No new platforms required.
Assessment Gap
Living Scorecard
130 questions across 19 categories. 11 platforms. AI updates scores when Nutanix 7.5 ships NVMe/TCP support. Scores never go stale. Always current in your Excel workbook.
Bundling Gap
Dependency Intelligence
Graph-based engine maps 42,636 transitive dependency paths. What-if simulator: remove 20 hub apps and reduce migration waves by 38.5%. Migration waves become feasible.
Execution Gap
Auto-Timestamped HBH
Power Automate writes start/finish timestamps on status change. RAG auto-flags Green/Amber/Red. Teams notifications. No more 3 AM manual tracking during migration night.
The T-8 Methodology

Five Phases,
Zero Guesswork

Every phase is AI-infused and runs on M365 tools your client already owns. No proprietary platforms. No data leaving your tenant.

  • 130-question framework
  • AI-refreshed scores
  • Platform rankings
Phase 03
🕸️
App
Bundling Engine
Graph-based dependency bundling. 42,636 transitive paths. What-if simulator proves wave impact before you commit.
  • 2-hop analysis
  • What-if simulator
  • Wave design
Phase 04
✅
Owner
Validation
Power Automate splits inventory by owner. Adaptive Cards for sign-off. Timestamped audit trail. No more email chains.
  • Auto-split by owner
  • Adaptive Card sign-off
  • Full audit trail
Phase 05
🚀
HBH
Execution
85 tasks, 6 stages. Power Automate auto-writes timestamps. RAG dashboard. Teams webhooks. Migration night under control.
  • Auto-timestamps
  • Real-time RAG
  • Teams integration

VMware Alternative
Platform Assessment

A structured 5-workshop, 130-question discovery framework for assessing your VMware estate and scoring alternative platforms — completed in as little as 4 weeks.

  • 5 modular workshops covering SDDC, storage, NSX, observability, operating model, and project portfolio
  • 130 weighted questions across 19 assessment categories
  • AI Living Scorecard — scores update as vendors ship new releases, not just at point-in-time
  • Vendor-neutral: Nutanix, Azure Local, Red Hat OCP, Proxmox, Canonical OpenStack, and more
  • All outputs delivered in Excel/M365 — no proprietary tooling, client retains full IP

Why T-8

Built Different.
Delivered Different.

🧠
AI on Your Existing Stack
No new platforms. No agents on your infrastructure. Claude in Excel cross-references all your exports in-session. Data never leaves your M365 tenant. SOC 2 Type II certified.
📡
Scores That Stay Current
When Nutanix NCI 7.5 ships NVMe/TCP, your scorecard updates. When Azure Local v2512 fixes a dealbreaker, the -1000 disqualifier resolves. Living scores, not point-in-time PDFs.
🕸️
Graph-Level Intelligence
42,636 transitive dependency paths. Not just a VM list — a dependency graph. The what-if simulator shows you that removing 20 hub apps reduces your mega-bundle by 38.5% before you commit.
📋
Owner Accountability Built In
Power Automate splits inventory by app owner. Adaptive Cards collect timestamped sign-off. Every owner on record before migration night. Full audit trail, no email chains.
⚡
Migration Night: Automated
85 tasks, 6 execution stages. Power Automate writes timestamps on status change. RAG dashboard updates in real-time. Webhook from Datadog/Azure Monitor auto-closes tasks. No 3 AM manual updates.
💼
Vendor-Neutral. Client Owns the IP.
We don't resell platforms. We find the right fit for your environment. All tools, scorecards, bundling workbooks, and execution plans stay with you after we leave. $0 proprietary licensing.
