Move to AWS and make it worth the move.

We migrate from a single workload to your whole estate, and modernise the applications where doing so improves cost, resilience or speed of change.

Problems we address

  • Lift-and-shift that changes nothing

    Moving servers unchanged often carries old problems into a new place.

  • Unknown dependencies

    Applications depend on systems and data nobody has fully mapped.

  • Risk to the business during the move

    Downtime, data loss and security gaps are the fears that delay migrations.

  • A migration with no end state

    Without a target operating model, costs and complexity grow after the move.

Capabilities

Portfolio assessment

Inventory applications and dependencies, and assess them technically, financially and for security.

Migration strategy per workload

Choose between retiring, retaining, rehosting, relocating, repurchasing, replatforming and refactoring.

Execution

Live migration, server replication, database and data migration, containers and VM conversion.

Application modernisation

Refactor towards cloud-native designs: containers, serverless and managed services.

Hybrid and phased approaches

Move in stages, keeping some workloads where they are while others transition.

Cutover and hypercare

Plan, rehearse and support the move, then stabilise the new environment.

How we deliver

Colleagues planning a system move on a whiteboard, with a server room visible behind glass.

  1. Plan and assess

    Discover the estate, assess each application and agree the business case.

  2. Choose the strategy

    Select the migration path for each workload, aligned to organisational goals.

  3. Prepare the landing zone

    Establish the secure foundation workloads will move into.

  4. Migrate in waves

    Move groups of workloads, with automation and testing at each step.

  5. Optimise and operate

    Tune performance and cost after the move and hand over to operations.

Technical foundations on AWS

AWS describes seven common migration strategies, often called the 7 Rs: retire, retain, rehost, relocate, repurchase, replatform and refactor.

  • AWS Application Migration Service
  • AWS Database Migration Service
  • AWS Transform
  • Amazon ECS
  • Amazon EKS
  • AWS Fargate
  • AWS Lambda
  • The right strategy differs by application. Many estates use several.

Security, governance and operations

  • Security and compliance assessed up front

    Each migration includes a design, checklists and templates that cover data security and your requirements.

  • Tested cutover

    Rehearsals and rollback plans reduce the risk on the day.

  • Data integrity

    Validation confirms that data arrives complete and unchanged.

  • Operations ready

    Monitoring, backup and support are in place before the old environment is retired.
