Cloud Migration & Modernisation

Move workloads off legacy or on-premises infrastructure onto cloud-native foundations, in stages that keep the business running.

What this covers

A migration is a sequencing problem as much as a technical one: what moves first, what can wait, and what shouldn't move at all without changing first. We plan the order before we plan the mechanics. That starts with a full inventory of what actually exists — the workloads, their dependencies, and the constraints nobody wrote down — before grouping them into migration waves. Each wave gets its own cutover plan, rollback criteria, and a named owner, so a stalled wave doesn't stall the ones behind it.

Why it matters

A migration that ships everything at once is also a migration with nowhere to roll back to. Staged migrations cost more planning up front and far less risk on the way through. They also mean the business keeps running throughout, instead of absorbing one high-risk cutover window and hoping nothing surfaces afterward.

A practical next step

Tell us about the workload or environment involved and we'll help clarify a useful starting point.

What's included

Capabilities

01

Migration assessment & wave planning

Inventory workloads and dependencies, then group them into migration waves ordered by risk, value, and technical readiness.

02

Rehost, replatform, or refactor

Decide per workload whether to lift-and-shift, adjust for the target platform, or rebuild — and be explicit about why.

03

Data migration & synchronisation

Move datasets with a plan for consistency, cutover windows, and rollback if the migrated path doesn't hold up.

04

Cutover & rollback planning

Define the go/no-go criteria and rollback path for each wave before it runs, not while it's running.

05

Legacy decommissioning

Retire the infrastructure a migration leaves behind, once the new path has proven itself in operation.

06

Application modernisation

Containerise or refactor applications that need structural change to run well on cloud-native infrastructure.
