The future of business is here
Start innovating with Cloud Migration
Revolutionize the way your business runs
In the era of rapid technological change, the cloud is not only useful for backup and storage, but also crucial for future-proofing businesses and maintaining a competitive edge. Businesses moving mass amounts of data to the cloud can take advantage of the latest technology and get ahead of aging onpremises infrastructure, putting them at the forefront of innovation.
We can help you migrate to the Cloud to unlock efficiencies and operational benefits that businesses never knew were possible. From lower costs to increased speed and optimized operations, businesses can focus on core competencies and reimagine how they work and how they innovate.
Master every stage of cloud adoption
Lack of expertise and knowledge of the cloud causes business decision makers to resist cloud migration, holding them back from all the benefits today’s cloud offers. But familiar applications and processes within the cloud enable businesses to get the job done while harnessing the full efficiency, cost, and innovative benefits of the cloud.
Cloud providers like AWS offer over 140 services to support any cloud workload, enabling any business to transition to the cloud and experience cost and speed efficiencies with minimal disruption to current workloads. Businesses can migrate quickly and securely, reducing downtime.
Our Cloud Migration Process
Preparation and Planning
Here we can help you determine the right objectives so you begin to get an idea of the types of benefits you will see. It starts with some foundational experience and developing a preliminary business case for a migration. This requires taking your objectives into account, along with the age and architecture of your existing applications, and their constraints.
Discovery and Planning
Next, we can help you need to understand your IT portfolio, the dependencies between applications, for you to begin to consider what types of migration strategies you will need to employ to meet your business case objectives. With the portfolio discovery and migration approach, you will find yourself in a good position to build a full business case.
Design, Migrate & Validate
Here the focus moves from the portfolio level to the individual application level. We can help design, migrate, and validate each application. Each application is designed, migrated, and validated according to one of the six common application strategies (“The 6 R’s”). Once you have some foundational experience from migrating a few apps and a plan in place that the organization can get behind – it’s time to accelerate the migration and achieve scale.

Our Cloud Migration Strategies
Rehost (“lift and shift”)
In a large legacy migration scenario where the organization is looking to quickly implement its migration and scale to meet a business case, we find that the majority of applications are rehosted.
Most rehosting can be automated with tools such as AWS SMS although you may prefer to do this manually as you learn how to apply your legacy systems to the cloud.
Replatform
Also known as “lift, tinker and shift”, this entails making a few cloud optimizations in order to achieve some tangible benefit without changing the core architecture of the application.
We can help reduce the amount of time you spend managing database instances by migrating to a managed relational database service or migrating your application to a fully managed platform.
Refactor / Re-architect
Typically, this is driven by a strong business need to add features, scale, or performance that would otherwise be difficult to achieve in the application’s existing environment.
If your organization is looking to boost agility or improve business continuity by moving to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) this strategy may be worth pursuing – even though it is often the most expensive solution.
