Cloud Migration
Lift-and-shift and replatforming for core workloads — moved on a plan, not a deadline.
Most migration timelines are wrong before the first workload moves.
The documentation is three years out of date. The dependency map describes the intended architecture, not the one actually running in production. A service scheduled for decommissioning two years ago still receives real traffic from an application nobody can find the owner of.
These discoveries do not stop migrations. They reset timelines — unless discovery happens before the timeline is set in the first place.
Get in touchDiscovery & dependency mapping.
An honest inventory of what exists today and what really depends on it, before any commitment is made to a timeline or a migration approach.
Landing zone built before any workload moves.
Account structure, networking, identity, and security baseline in place and tested before the first application arrives.
Lift-and-shift for what doesn't need to change.
The fastest, lowest-risk path for workloads where re-architecting would cost more than it's worth.
Replatforming where it earns its cost.
For workloads where moving as-is would just relocate the problem, we modernise as part of the move — not after it.
How do you decide between lift-and-shift and replatforming?
By workload, not by policy. Discovery tells us which applications benefit from re-architecting and which don't — we don't have a default answer, because the honest one changes case by case.
Can we keep running on-premise during the migration?
Yes. Wave-based migration means your existing environment and your AWS environment run in parallel throughout, with a planned, scheduled cutover per workload.
How long does a typical migration take?
It depends on the number of workloads and how much replatforming is involved. We give you a realistic range once discovery is complete — not before.
