CHAIAgentic Experience

You don't figure out modernization.
You approve it.

From one RVTools export, CHAI charts your estate, builds the TCO business case, and recommends a move for every app. Then it does the modernization work. Your job is one click.

The cloud business case, in minutes

What you run on VMware today, what it maps to on AWS, and what each side costs — line by line, right-sized. The number that gets modernization funded, without a six-week engagement.

Example 761-VM estate · from a single RVTools export. Deterministic costing, right-sized per workload — not an LLM guess.
Zero-touch discovery

One export in. Your whole estate out.

No agents to install, no scanners to schedule, no spreadsheets to reconcile. Drop in an RVTools export and CHAI charts everything you run — automatically.

App intelligence

Every app sorted, scored and given a move

CHAI separates your estate into infrastructure, business and data apps — then hands each one its own intelligence and a recommended 6R disposition with an AWS target.

Infrastructure

Commodity / COTS

Off-the-shelf software matched to a signature catalog — databases, directories, middleware — each with a known-good path.

The workloads that run your business — assessed on runtime, code and workload signals for readiness and the right move.

Six recommended dispositions — Rehost · Replatform · Refactor · Repurchase · Retire · Retain — one for every application. Approve to rehost, containerize or modernize; adjust any you disagree with.

Two ways to work

Talk to it — or drive it yourself

The new conversational agentic experience and the classic CHAI model are the same platform and the same data. Switch whenever you like — guided when you want speed, hands-on when you want control.

Guided · fastest path

Describe it. Approve it.

Tell CHAI the goal in plain language. It runs discovery, costing and assessment, then brings you the move to approve — no console to learn.

  • Conversational — nothing to set up
  • It recommends; you just approve
  • From estate to plan in one thread

Why CHAI

Everyone else sells you a to-do list

Assessments, dashboards, chat assistants — they all end with more work on your plate. CHAI ends with the modernization done.

A tool that assesses
It gives you findings. You still do everything.
  • Hands you a report and a backlog
  • You decide each app's fate, one by one
  • Cost is a spreadsheet you build later
  • A delivery team still has to execute it all
  • One rigid workflow — no way to take the wheel
CHAI decides and does
It hands you the move — and then makes it.
  • A 6R move for every app — you approve, not analyze
  • TCO business case built in — cost today vs cost on AWS
  • The work executes itself — rehost, containerize, modernize
  • Agentic or classic — switch modes whenever you want
  • Sovereign & human-gated — in your walls, on your say-so

# CHAI Agentic Experience — Modernization You Just Approve

Enterprise modernization is mostly deciding: which applications move, where they go, what
it costs, and in what order. The CHAI Agentic Experience does that deciding for you. From a
single RVTools export it runs zero-touch discovery, builds a costed TCO business case, and
recommends a 6R disposition for every application — then it does the modernization work.
Humans stay in control at every phase; your job is to approve. And you can switch between the
new conversational agentic experience and the classic CHAI model at any time.

## Business impact — the TCO case, from one RVTools export
- VMware today vs AWS: an example 761-VM estate models at roughly $19,153/yr on VMware versus $9,782/yr on AWS — about a 49% annual saving, and ~$28,000 saved over three years.
- Costed line by line: compute, storage, network and support, each with a right-sized AWS target.
- Produced in minutes from an RVTools export — not a six-week consulting engagement.

## Zero-touch discovery
- Import a single RVTools export (.xlsx) — or a host CSV / IP range.
- Agentless sweep: hosts reached, held-back, distinct OS families and components, all charted automatically.
- Zero agents installed on your estate. Example: 761 hosts, 16.4 TB, 9 OS families, ~3,000 components.

## App intelligence — infrastructure, business and data
Every application is classified and given its own intelligence:
- Infrastructure apps (COTS) — commodity software matched to a signature catalog, each with a recommended 6R strategy and AWS target.
- Business apps — your custom workloads, assessed for readiness and disposition.
- Data apps — databases and stores, mapped by engine and distribution.
Each app gets a 6R recommendation — rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire or retain — with effort and risk.

## Rehost and modernize
Approved moves execute themselves: rehost (lift & shift to AWS with wave and move-group planning), replatform, refactor and containerize — real artifacts, not a report.

## Two ways to work
- The Agentic Experience — conversational and guided: describe the goal, review the recommendation, approve.
- The classic CHAI model — full manual control for power users.
- Switch between them at any time; it is the same platform and the same data.

## Humans in control, every phase
Discover, assess, decide, modernize and operate — a human approves at each phase. AI proposes and acts; authority never moves to the machine. Full audit trail and one-click rollback. Sovereign and air-gapped by default.
