Enterprise Software: Cloud Migration
A cloud migration is not simply copying servers — it is an architectural decision with long-term consequences for operations, cost, and scalability. We plan and guide your migration to AWS, Azure, or GCP so that operational stability is never at risk and genuine cloud advantages are realised.
Challenges you'll recognise
- Your data centre contract is expiring — cloud migration is unavoidable, but nobody knows where to start.
- A previous cloud attempt raised costs rather than lowering them because the architecture wasn't adapted.
- On-premise infrastructure limits scalability and global availability even though the business demands it.
Migration Assessment
Every migration begins with an honest assessment: which workloads benefit from the cloud and which don't? We analyse your existing infrastructure, dependencies, and requirements and recommend a migration strategy — from lift-and-shift for non-critical systems to cloud-native rebuilds for strategic applications.
Incremental Migration
We don't migrate everything at once. Workloads are prioritised, dependencies considered, and systems migrated sequentially while live operations remain stable. Parallel operation and gradual traffic redirection ensure every migration step is reversible before the next begins.
Cloud-native Optimisation
After migration the real optimisation work begins: replacing self-managed servers with managed services, implementing auto-scaling, optimising costs through reserved instances and right-sizing, and using cloud-native features unavailable in the on-premise world.
Security and Compliance
A cloud migration introduces new security responsibilities. We configure identity and access management, network segmentation, and encryption according to cloud best practices, and ensure GDPR requirements are met through data residency in European data centres and appropriate processing agreements.
Good to know
Not all workloads belong in the cloud
An honest assessment shows that some workloads are more economical or secure on-premise. Cloud migration is not an end in itself — it pays off where auto-scaling, global availability, or managed services deliver genuine value.
Lift-and-shift is a starting point
Migrating first via lift-and-shift and then optimising reduces risk — at the cost of initially higher cloud costs. This path makes sense for teams that need to learn cloud operations before making deeper architectural changes.
Costs need governance
Cloud migrations without cost governance often deliver higher bills than expected. Tagging, budget alerts, and right-sizing reviews from the start keep costs predictable and avoidable surprises at bay.
