## Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computing system for identifying a specific migration scenario for a potential migration event from a source workload to a target workload; gathering migration information from a user concerning the potential migration event; and processing the specific migration scenario and the migration information to generate a migration assessment concerning the potential migration event, wherein the migration assessment includes: a platform migration assessment; a data migration assessment; and a post-migration maintenance assessment.
