RiverMeadow Extends AWS Transform with Lift & Optimize Migration

New capability enables organizations to combine AWS Transform's AI-driven planning with RiverMeadow's automated workload modernization — helping customers arrive in AWS optimized, modernized, and production-ready.

LOS GATOS, Calif., July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RiverMeadow Software, a leading provider of workload mobility and modernization solutions, today announced support for AWS Transform, enabling organizations to combine AWS Transform's AI-powered migration planning with RiverMeadow's industry-leading Lift & Optimize migration capabilities.

Together, AWS Transform and RiverMeadow provide enterprises with an end-to-end modernization approach that begins with AI-driven assessment and planning and culminates in automated migration, optimization, and modernization of workloads running on AWS.

AI Plans the Journey. RiverMeadow Improves the Destination.

As organizations accelerate cloud adoption, many continue to rely on traditional Lift & Shift migration approaches that simply relocate workloads into AWS with little or no modernization. While effective for rapid migration, these approaches often leave organizations with aging operating systems, technical debt, oversized infrastructure, legacy software, and costly post-migration remediation projects.

RiverMeadow's Lift & Optimize methodology modernizes workloads during migration, enabling organizations to reduce technical debt, improve security, optimize infrastructure, and accelerate business value as workloads move to AWS.

With AWS Transform providing AI-powered discovery, dependency analysis, migration planning, and modernization recommendations, RiverMeadow delivers the automated execution engine that brings those recommendations to life.

Modernization During Migration

• Windows Server operating system modernization
• Linux operating system upgrades and distribution conversion
• Microsoft SQL Server modernization
• Compute and storage rightsizing
• Security hardening and Gold Plating automation
• Near-zero-downtime workload mobility
• Enterprise-scale migration orchestration
• Support for Amazon EC2, AWS Outposts, Amazon EVS, ROSA, Amazon EKS and additional AWS landing zones

Delivering Greater Value from AWS Transform

• Modernize workloads during migration instead of after production cutover

"AWS Transform helps customers determine what should happen to every workload. RiverMeadow automates how it happens.
