    Our Cloud Migration Services: From Strategy to Day‑Two Operations

    We turn discovery into a governed program that carries applications and data through planning, execution, and steady‑state management.

    Discovery and assessment

    We run a structured assessment across applications, data, infrastructure, and dependent workloads to create a full inventory, dependency map, and readiness score.

    Migration planning

    Findings translate into a clear strategy and staged plan, with target architecture, security baselines, operational guardrails, and a sequenced process for waves and sprints.

    Execution

    We specify tools for CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and automated testing, then execute application, database, and data warehouse moves with rehearsal, rollback paths, and validation of integrations and performance.

    Optimization and management

    Post‑cutover, we enable monitoring, alerting, rightsizing, autoscaling, and lifecycle policies to protect SLAs and control spend.

    • Resilient ETL pipelines and serverless patterns for heavy data transfer.
    • Hybrid connectivity, identity federation, and operational runbooks.
    • Knowledge transfer through diagrams and procedures to support day‑two teams.

    Cloud Migration Service Providers: What to Expect from an Expert Team

    A focused inventory of applications and infrastructure lets us prioritize waves that deliver measurable value.

    Holistic workload cataloging and prioritization

    We build a complete catalog of applications and their dependencies, mapping business criticality, compliance needs, and risk.

    This lets us group workloads into waves that yield early wins and reduce interruption to operations.

    Right‑fit cloud platform selection aligned to requirements

    We run a platform-fit analysis that matches security, data residency, performance, and integration needs to available capabilities.

    Our plan balances ambition with operational reality and sequences work to protect SLAs and user experience.

    • Executive artifacts: roadmaps, TCO/ROI, and risk registers for clear governance.
    • Target environment: identity, network, logging, and policy foundations for day-one operability.
    • Change support: training and readiness checks so owners know test criteria and acceptance thresholds.
    Phase What We Deliver Success Metric
    Catalog & Prioritize Dependency maps, criticality scoring Time-to-first-validated-wave (weeks)
    Platform Fit Requirements alignment report, options analysis Compliance & performance targets met (%)
    Validation & Cut‑over Runbooks, rehearsals, go-live checklist Successful cut-overs / planned windows (%)

    We commit to structured validation and go‑live procedures, and provide ongoing support so product, operations, and security teams adopt the new environment with confidence.

    Migration Approaches That Fit Your Business Needs

    Choosing the right path starts with clear objectives for time-to-value, risk tolerance, and long-term operations.

    We compare rehost (lift and shift), replatform, and refactor to pick the best approach for each workload.

    Rehost speeds delivery with minimal change, ideal for apps with few dependencies. Replatform adds efficiency with small changes. Refactor delivers cloud-native agility but requires more effort.

    Start with a single, meaningful workload

    Run a pilot to validate tooling, pipelines, and governance before scaling. We use workshops to align stakeholders and document acceptance criteria for every step.

    • We capture non-functional needs—availability, security, and performance—to ensure the chosen path meets business targets.
    • We manage technical debt pragmatically: defer deep refactors when speed matters and plan iterative improvements post-cutover.
    • Automation and blueprints make each step repeatable—CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and tested runbooks reduce human error.

    Telemetry from the pilot informs pattern selection, resource plans, and resourcing models so broader rollout stays predictable.

    Our guide ties the selected approach to downstream operations, including change control, rollback strategies, and cut-over rehearsals to protect user experience and business continuity.

    Security, Compliance, and Governance by Design

    Security and compliance must be designed, not bolted on, to preserve business continuity and protect sensitive information.

    We embed robust controls into the architecture, establishing identity and access management, encryption at rest and in transit, and layered network segmentation to match your risk profile.

    ISO-aligned practices, access controls, and encryption

    Our delivery follows ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 patterns, standardizing configuration baselines and audit trails so teams can prove compliance with simple reports.

    Automated testing and continuous monitoring catch misconfiguration and drift early, addressing top threats such as unauthorized access, insecure interfaces, misconfiguration, and account hijacking.

    Meeting HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, CCPA, and FedRAMP needs

    We map controls to specific regulatory requirements and work with your legal and compliance staff to validate coverage.

    • Architectural controls: IAM, encryption, segmentation, and hardened environment guides.
    • Operational controls: change control, logging, and incident response playbooks with clear ownership.
    • Data protections: database encryption, masking, retention, and pipeline safeguards.
    • Governance: automated audits, policy enforcement, and documented shared responsibility.

    Timelines, Costs, and ROI: Setting Realistic Expectations

    Estimating realistic timelines and budgets up front prevents surprises and keeps stakeholders aligned. We translate scope into clear checkpoints, so teams can measure progress, control spend, and demonstrate value to sponsors.

    Typical durations vary by complexity: simple applications often complete in roughly two to two‑and‑a‑half months, medium or complex apps commonly take six months or more, and data warehouse work ranges from two to eight months depending on data volume and integrations.

    Typical durations and cost bands

    Workstream Typical time Typical cost
    Simple application 2–2.5 months $20,000–$50,000
    Medium / large application 6+ months $50,000–$250,000+
    Data warehouse (500–1,000 users) 2–8 months $140,000–$280,000

    We guard ROI by modeling infrastructure savings, productivity gains, and avoided capital expense over a realistic horizon. Flexera finds significant wasted spend—on average about 35%—so cost controls matter.

    Our approach uses a scoped pilot to validate performance and cost assumptions, then scales with rightsizing, autoscaling, lifecycle policies, and managed PaaS to reduce operational overhead. Budgets align to milestones, with alerts and policy guardrails that keep innovation on budget.

    End‑to‑End Support: Professional and Managed Services

    We organize a continuum of expertise—consulting, build teams, and ongoing run operations—to keep work moving from idea to steady state.

    Our offering spans advisory consulting, professional implementation, and managed services so you can pick the model that fits your capabilities and goals. We staff an integrated team that remains attached from assessment through steady‑state, preserving context and reducing handoff risk.

    • Managed capabilities: monitoring, incident response, backup and recovery, patching, cost optimization, and change enablement.
    • Flexible engagement: scale up during critical migration windows and scale down as operations stabilize, aligning spend with need.
    • Resilience practices: site reliability engineering, runbooks, and Elastic Engineering‑style pods that break down build‑operate silos and speed delivery.
    • Governance: service catalogs and SLAs that set response times, resolution targets, and performance baselines, plus regular standups and quarterly reviews.

    We commit to partnership: knowledge transfer, measurable success metrics, and continuous optimization so your teams gain capability while experts remain available for peaks in demand.
