1. TRANSFORM
This is the stage for discovery and design. During this stage, the current cloud framework of the customer is evaluated and details are noted down. At the end of this stage, a system design in created which will be implemented in the further stages to migrate the system of the user.

2. OPERATE
This stage comprises of the implementation of the design that was created in the previous stage. During this stage, various tools offered by companies such as AWS are utilized in order to ensure a smooth transition. After that some test-runs are done to verify the implementation of the system.

3. EVOLVE
Ideally the whole process should have been completed by the end of the previous stage. However, since it is understandable that there might be some problems faced by the users in the long run, this stage ensures that those problems are identified as soon as possible and resolved in a timely manner.
These three stages form a cyclical process. This ensures that the overall migration process does not occur only at once but feedback from the current system is used to improve the experience of the user in the future. One of the companies which offers such kind of services for AWS is “CORPINFO”.
