BMC Discovery was used by multiple companies to help plan and execute migrations of workloads to Amazon Web Services (AWS). Discovery provided asset discovery, mapping of application dependencies, and population of configuration management databases to identify appropriate workloads and applications to move to AWS. It also helped audit AWS environments for compliance and operational readiness.
