Know What Your Migration Involves Before Anyone Commits to Anything

The pre-flight report the scan produces is the readiness step of our migration tool — the same engine, pointed at the question "what would this take?" You can watch the whole workflow run right now, live, on mock data.

Every migration estimate you'll ever get — from a vendor, a consultant, or your own team — is only as good as the discovery underneath it. The scan automates that discovery. It inventories your program as it actually exists:

• Controls — counts, framework mappings, and custom controls that will need deliberate re-mapping
• Policies and documents — what exists, what's current, what will need re-approval on a new platform
• Evidence — the critical split between uploaded files (which move) and URL-linked evidence (which doesn't), found before it becomes a mid-migration surprise
• Vendors and personnel — record volumes and the import work they imply

The output is a readiness report in plain language: what transfers cleanly, what requires manual work and roughly how much, and what can't move at all — the same pre-flight analysis our migration engine runs before any write occurs, pointed at the question "what would this take?"

Evaluating a switch — get the honest scope before vendor demos shape your expectations, and negotiate your renewal with real information about your alternative.

Committed to migrating — replace the "we think it'll take about…" estimate with a report based on your actual record counts and evidence storage.

Advising someone who is — consultants and vCISOs: the readiness report is the deliverable your scoping phase produces, generated in minutes instead of days.

The scan is in early access: the pipeline is a working prototype (78/78 tests passing in mock mode) and we're onboarding users in small groups while the first supervised real-world migrations complete. Join the list and we'll send your access instructions as your group opens — with priority for teams with a live renewal or migration decision.

Not ready to run anything yet? The reading version of the discovery process is free too: the Archer data export guide covers what extraction involves by hand, the migration checklist covers the full phase sequence, and the legacy migration assessment gives you a complexity score in five minutes with no tooling at all.
