Reveal Decision-Grade Infrastructure Insights
Remove complexity, optimise infrastructure decisions, and align migration timelines with financial realities, creating a clearer, faster path to modernisation.
Gain a precise understanding of your on-premises estate to unlock faster migration, eliminating the financial, contractual, and operational constraints that delay transformation.
RTK NEXCAP’s Deep Dive Assessment (DDA) is a comprehensive, evidence-based evaluation of your on-premises data centre or colocation environment, designed to uncover the financial, contractual, and lifecycle constraints that materially impact cloud & AI transformation.
The DDA is most valuable where asset value is significant and time-sensitive, migration timelines extend across multiple years, hardware EoSL or renewals fall mid-programme, interim capacity is required to maintain continuity, or book value and contractual liabilities influence executive approvals.
We replace assumption with quantified insight; rigorously assessing infrastructure, contracts, lifecycle exposure, and financial commitments, it strengthens the credibility of the cloud business case, aligns executive stakeholders, and creates the clarity required to accelerate execution with confidence.
By Performing a DDA, RTK Clients Receive:
Valuation Guidance
By understanding the asset value of outgoing infrastructure, enterprises can monetise assets to offset migration project costs, lowering the barrier to cloud adoption and accelerating transformation momentum.
Complexity Scoping
Through a comprehensive assessment of potential roadblocks created by entrenched infrastructure and contractual agreements that can delay or derail migration timelines and strategic execution.
Strategic Decision-Making
Align and agree on a strategy that satisfies stakeholders across financial, operational, and compliance requirements, ensuring accountable and business-first outcomes at executive level.
Quantify Risk. Unlock Value. Accelerate Cloud:
Recover IT Hardware Value
By assessing current and future residual value, value erosion, and monetisation timing, the DDA ensures asset value is realised at the right point to fund and accelerate cloud migration before it declines.
Control Commercial Costs
By assessing EoSL and EoS milestones, refresh risk, interim capacity needs, and vendor-imposed upgrade paths, enterprises can meet short-term migration demand without being forced into premature OEM purchases.
Break Vendor Lock-In
By assessing contract scope, renewal timing, cost escalation, coverage overlap, and OEM dependency, organisations can consolidate maintenance, avoid duplicate support costs, and reduce vendor lock-in.
Prevent Forced Write-Downs
By assessing net book value, depreciation schedules, write-down exposure, and exit liabilities, organisations can remove financial constraints that delay otherwise viable cloud migration plans.
We empowers enterprises to progress transformation by replacing assumption with structured analysis, stakeholder workshops, and targeted data centre audits. This delivers finance-approved cloud business cases, reduces dual-running costs, avoids forced refresh decisions, and accelerates migration with clear, decision-grade insights.
What does the DDA output?
Detailed Financial & Infrastructure Model (Excel) – Full asset valuation, maintenance analysis, EoSL mapping, cost exposure, and quantified acceleration scenarios.
Executive Report (PowerPoint) – Decision-ready presentation outlining key constraints, financial impact, risk profile, and recommended acceleration pathway.
Executive Dashboard (1-Page PDF) – Concise CFO/CIO summary of value, risk, timing inflection points, and approved actions.
How long does a DDA take?
The DDA is designed to maintain programme momentum, not slow it down.
Provided documentation is supplied promptly, a typical Deep Dive Assessment is completed within 2–3 weeks.
Where on-site data centre audits or physical validation are required, timelines typically extend to 3–6 weeks, depending on estate size and geographic complexity.
The objective is structured, decision-grade insight delivered at pace, without disrupting migration planning.
Is the DDA intrusive?
No- the DDA is designed to be fast, structured, and non-disruptive.
It does not require agents, system installations, production access, or changes to live environments. The assessment is based on validated documentation, workshops with key stakeholders, and, where required—controlled site audits.
The objective is clarity without operational disruption, delivering decision-grade insight at pace while migration planning continues uninterrupted.
What documentation is required? How do we gather this info?
Existing information typically held by IT / Data Centre teams, Procurement, and Finance.
This includes asset inventories or CMDB exports, hardware lists, maintenance contracts, lease or finance agreements, depreciation schedules, and high-level migration timelines.
We organise and validate what already exists, no new tooling, no system access, no disruption.
