How do you estimate migration duration?

From the inventory: server count, application count, database engines and compliance regime. The calculator on this page uses the same model, stated as a range with the assumptions listed.

Will our cloud bill really be lower than on-prem?

Usually, when workloads are rightsized and the ones that should retire do. We publish the three-year comparison as a range and we track it monthly after cutover.

Which cloud do you recommend?

The one your team can operate. We are certified across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud and we will tell you when the answer is 'stay where your identity provider already is'.

What happens to compliance during the move?

The landing zone is built with the controls your regime needs before the first workload lands. Evidence is collected from day one.

Cloud Expertise and Migration

Move from on-prem to cloud with zero surprise downtime and a lower run-rate.

Workload assessment, landing zones, infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, data migration, wave planning and FinOps guardrails for estates that cannot afford a bad cutover.

The problem we solve

The lease ends, the hardware is old, the budget is flat

A migration is a hundred small cutovers with one deadline. We inventory everything, pick the right of the 7 Rs for each workload and run the waves with rollback plans, so the deadline is the only surprise-free part.

“Our data center lease ends in 14 months.”
“We lifted and shifted two years ago and the bill doubled.”
“Every migration vendor quotes the first wave and vanishes before the hard ones.”

What we deliver

Deliverables, not decks

Workload assessment against the 7 Rs: rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, retain, relocate
Landing zone and account design
Terraform and infrastructure as code
Kubernetes on EKS, AKS or GKE
Database and data migration with validation
Wave planning and cutover runbooks
FinOps cost guardrails and rightsizing

How an engagement runs

Fixed scope first, then sprints

Assess Weeks 1 to 3
Inventory, dependency mapping, 7 Rs disposition and a costed wave plan.
Land Weeks 4 to 7
Landing zone, identity, network and guardrails as code.
Migrate Weeks 8 onward
Waves of two to four weeks each, rehearsed before cutover.
Optimize Final 2 weeks
Rightsizing, reserved capacity plan and the FinOps dashboard.

First engagement: Migration assessment and wave plan, 3 weeks, written decision record included. See the full process.
