Multi-cloud TCO
AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and on-prem comparison with itemized run-rate, migration cost, and decommission savings. Every dollar traceable to a formula.
Built vendor-neutral. Delivered inside Barrier engagements.
Multi-cloud TCO, dependency mapping, wave planning. Used in every Barrier engagement.
AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and on-prem comparison with itemized run-rate, migration cost, and decommission savings. Every dollar traceable to a formula.
Interactive graph with business overlays (criticality, 6R, initiative band, cost), what-if migration simulation, AI narrative explanation, drift mode, and trust-boundary overlays.
Topological dependency-ordered migration waves with capacity caps, cycle detection, and within-wave priority by criticality + effort + fan-out. Drag-and-drop adjustments preserved across re-runs.
Migration is the most common destination but not the only one. The same questionnaire, dependency graph, and cost engine answer four distinct engagement types.
Move from on-prem (or co-lo, or hosted) to a public cloud. Multi-cloud cost modeling, dependency-ordered wave plan, 6R disposition per app.
Already in AWS or Azure? The same engine compares all four clouds. Includes egress and re-architecture costs.
For orgs already cloud-native: which apps to keep, kill, modernize, or replace. Same 6R framework, no migration required. Most common follow-up to a cost overrun.
IT portfolio diligence pre-deal, separation planning during integration, post-merger rationalization. Fortune 500 carve-out case study below.
Gartner classifies the underlying capability as Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping (ADDM), a $4B+ market. Barrier delivers it inside the Public Cloud IT Transformation Services engagement model.
Those are FinOps tools for ongoing cloud spend management once you are already in cloud. Cloud Intelligence is an assessment platform for migration, arbitrage, rationalization, and M&A diligence, the work that happens before workloads move (or before they get cut). Different buyer, different workflow, different output (a wave plan and a defensible TCO model, not a monthly chargeback report).
We sit alongside, and we are explicitly neutral. AWS Transform shipped September 2025 and optimizes for AWS landing zones. Azure Copilot Migration Agent shipped the same month and optimizes for Azure. Both are useful inside their respective clouds. Neither will tell you to pick the other. Cloud Intelligence scores AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI on the same matrix, weighted by your scenario, we have no landing-zone quota.
CSV import works today and is the path most engagements use. ServiceNow and Device42 connectors are on the roadmap. The XLSX round-trip with the v5.1 Excel template covers the cases where your client gives you a spreadsheet and wants the answer back in the same format.
Each engagement runs in its own isolated workspace. The database itself refuses to return one client’s data to a different client’s session, this is enforced at the database layer, not just in the application code, so even a software bug cannot leak data across engagements.

Yes. Branded PDF report, CSV of every table, XLSX round-trip with the v5.1 Excel template, and REST API. Your assessment outputs are yours; we never gate the export.
Scope is set per engagement, not per tier. There is no hardcoded app or server cap. Whether the engagement covers 50 apps for a mid-market carve-out or 5,000 apps for a Fortune 500 multi-year migration, the tool runs at the size of the work. The shape of the engagement is something we agree before we start; talk to us about the assessment in front of you.
