Cloud migration
Move the estate without losing control of how it behaves.
Migration plans rarely fail on strategy. They fail on dependencies, runtime behaviour and data.
A migration roadmap is the easy part. What decides the outcome is what the applications actually do once they are running somewhere else — the dependencies nobody documented, the datasource behaviour under load, the certificate that expires mid-cutover. We keep the architecture decision and the runtime execution in the same team, because separating them is what turns a migration into an incident.
Our approach
How we run a migration
A sequence. The discovery step is where the risk is actually removed.
- 1
Assess
Establish application readiness, business criticality and the real constraints on moving each workload.
- 2
Discover dependencies
Map what each application genuinely depends on at runtime — integrations, data, certificates, configuration.
- 3
Design target state
Define the target architecture, landing zone and operational model, sized against measured demand.
- 4
Migrate
Execute in sequenced waves: provisioning, middleware, deployment, configuration and production cutover.
- 5
Validate
Prove behaviour after cutover against functional, performance and availability expectations before moving on.
- 6
Optimize
Tune cost, performance and resilience once production traffic shows what the design assumptions missed.
Scope
Migration is six problems, not one
Each of these has to be answered for every workload. Programmes stall when one is treated as somebody else’s scope.
Application
Runtime compatibility, configuration, session behaviour and the application server generation you are moving from.
Infrastructure
Compute, network and landing zone design sized against measured demand rather than the existing footprint.
Data
Movement, consistency, cutover sequencing and the fallback position if validation fails.
Integration
The upstream and downstream systems that assume the application is where it has always been.
Security
Identity, certificates, secrets and access control designed for the target, not transplanted from the source.
Operations
Monitoring, support model and the runbook the operations team will actually use at three in the morning.
Migrations fail at the runtime layer. We hold the architecture decision and the runtime execution inside the same team.
Bring us a difficult technology problem. We will help define the practical path to solving it.
