Is your CPMS ready for the network you’re becoming?
Regulation is tightening, use cases are multiplying, and hardware is diversifying. Complete 12 quick steps and see – on a single chart – how today’s platform measures against where you’re taking your network.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CPMS Migration Readiness Assessment?
The CPMS Migration Readiness Assessment is an interactive tool that helps Charge Point Operators (CPOs) diagnose how well their current charging management platform, whether third-party, in-house, or hybrid, serves the network they operate today. It takes approximately five minutes to complete and produces a readiness score, a six-axis radar chart, and a dimension-specific insight based on where the most pressure is concentrated.
Who is this assessment for?
It is designed for charge point operators/charging network operators who are evaluating whether their current CPMS is still fit for purpose. It is most useful for decision-makers – heads of operations, CTOs, or general managers – who are in a position to act on the results. It works for operators running third-party platforms, in-house builds, or a combination of both.
What does the assessment measure?
The assessment evaluates six dimensions:
– Operational Autonomy (how much direct control your team has over day-to-day operations),
– Market Fit (whether your platform supports the full range of use cases you run today),
– Compliance (whether your platform is on track against binding regulatory requirements),
– Scalability (what it costs you to expand into new markets, hardware, or use cases),
– Platform Economics (the real total cost including workarounds and growth constraints)
– Team Focus (what your operations and technical teams are actually spending their time on)
Does this work for operators running an in-house platform?
Yes, the six dimensions apply equally to in-house builds. Operators maintaining their own platform typically see the most pressure in the Platform Economics and Team Focus dimensions, where the cost of maintaining compliance delivery and feature development in parallel becomes the central constraint.
Do I need to prepare anything before taking the assessment?
No preparation is required. The questions are designed to be answered from direct experience – no data exports, vendor documentation, or technical specs are needed. You will be asked about your day-to-day operational experience, how your platform handles expansion, and where your team spends most of its time. The whole assessment takes around five minutes.
What if my score is low? Does that mean I need to migrate immediately?
No, a low score identifies where the cost of staying on your current platform is accumulating. It does not prescribe an immediate migration. Depending on your result tier, the assessment will indicate whether the tradeoffs are worth quantifying carefully or whether the risk of delay now outweighs the disruption of a transition. In either case, the most useful next step is an honest cost-of-staying analysis before committing to a direction and our experts are available to help you work through exactly that kind of consultation.

How long does a CPMS migration typically take?
Migration timelines vary depending on network size, geographic complexity, and the number of hardware vendors, use cases, and integrations involved. With extensive experience guiding charging networks through platform transitions, AMPECO has developed a deep understanding of what makes migrations succeed and what causes them to stall.
