## Keep Your Hardware. Keep Operating.

The VMware landscape has evolved. This means leaders are now making decisions about workloads, providers, and infrastructure that may have not been on their radar just months ago, and the Expedient Bridge Program is designed to support you through the changes.

## Licensing Compliance

Expedient takes the Broadcom-required role so you don‘t have to.

## Your Timeline and Destination

No immediate migration mandate. No open-ended holding pattern.

## A Transition Plan on Your Timeline

During the bridge term, Expedient conducts a data-driven workload assessment to determine each workload‘s best-fit destination based on cost, performance, security, and business value. Your options stay open. Workloads can remain on premises under a compliant managed model, move selectively to private or public cloud, or follow a phased hybrid approach.The destination is yours to define. By the end of the bridge term, your path is validated and ready to execute.

## Not Sure If Your Environment Is Affected?

If you are running vSphere 7, patches stopped in October 2025 and you likely need support. If you are on vSphere 8, you’ll want to have a plan by October 2027. A brief Bridge Fit Check confirms exactly where you stand and what your options are moving ahead.

## This Is How Expedient Gets You There

1
## Bridge Fit Check

A 15-30-minute intake maps your current VMware license environment, confirms program eligibility, and shows you what’s next. No lengthy process required to create a plan.

2
## Expedient Provides the Continuity Layer

Expedient works with Broadcom and serves as the single point of contact. Your hardware stays on premises. Expedient manages vendor obligations while you retain operational control of your environment.
