Cloud Migration & Modernisation
Cloud Migration Services for AWS, Azure & GCP
Move to the cloud without downtime, surprise bills or security gaps. Our cloud migration experts plan and manage every step for you.
Overview
Cloud migration and modernisation moves your applications and data to AWS, Azure or GCP with minimal risk and disruption. We assess your estate, choose the right strategy per workload across the 6 R's (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain), then execute in waves with rollback and recovery plans. Modernisation goes further, re-architecting workloads to be cloud-native, scalable and cheaper to run. A structured, wave-based approach grounded in proven cloud adoption frameworks minimises business disruption while improving performance, scalability and long-term cloud cost optimisation. To see how migration fits with the rest of our cloud practice, explore all Cloud & DevOps services.
Methodology & Standards
AWS Migration Acceleration Program and the Cloud Adoption Frameworks for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, the 6 R's migration strategy, and Well-Architected reviews to validate the target state. Each wave is validated against security, reliability and cost benchmarks before cutover, ensuring the migrated estate meets operational excellence and compliance requirements from day one. Once workloads are live, our Managed Cloud team can run them day to day, while refactored applications typically land on Kubernetes & Containers with DevSecOps controls built into the delivery pipeline. After cutover, monitor your new cloud with CSPMX to catch misconfigurations continuously, and meet cloud security standards with ISO/IEC 27017.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on each workload basis. Our cloud migration experts make use of the 6R strategy (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain) while migrating the applications to the cloud. Some of the applications are re-hosted depending on their complexity and benefits offered by migrating to the cloud, while others are re-platformed or restructured.
We migrate the applications in waves and perform testing in the target environment (AWS, Azure or GCP). Besides having rollback procedures ready for every migration wave, we perform cutovers in low-traffic periods for minimal downtime. Cutover activities are done in sync with data synchronization and validation to ensure zero or little downtime for most workloads.
We develop a business case per workload and model costs of the target environment where the application will be migrated. We monitor the costs throughout the lifecycle of the project and optimize costs based on the models to ensure cost savings after migration instead of incurring additional costs.
The data is encrypted on transit and at rest with end-to-end encryption in the target environment. Moreover, we enforce the principle of least privilege to restrict unauthorized access to data during migration. We perform data validation after every cutover to ensure quality and compliance with the organization’s requirements.
It depends on the number of applications and their complexity level as well as the strategy used during migration. Some of our clients have migrated applications within a short period of time (a few weeks), whereas others take several months to complete the entire process. We conduct a discovery and migration-readiness assessment to come up with the project’s timeline before migrating the applications in waves.
