Cloud Strategy and Migration
Move workloads to the cloud in stages, with a tested route back at every step.
Why It Matters
Cloud plans stall when the estate is tied to one provider and nobody can say what depends on what. A move without a destination, an owner and a route back becomes a rewrite.
The risks that sink a migration are known. Data can fall out of step at cutover, an application can run slower after the move, and the bill can arrive above the plan.
What We Do
Cloud Strategy and Landing Zones
A written target for each workload, with the accounts, networks and guardrails that target needs.
Migration and Re-Platforming
Workloads move one at a time, data copied first, each with an acceptance test and a route back.
Multi-Cloud Architecture
More than one provider where it earns its place, on one set of standards for identity, logging and deployment.
Exit Plans That Avoid Lock-in
A list of the services that tie you to a provider, the effort to leave and the order of the work.
What Changes for You
Each Workload in the Right Place
Every system has a written destination, chosen for its data, latency and cost, that you can show to an auditor.
Moves That Keep the Business Running
Each workload moves on its own with a rehearsal, an acceptance test and a route back, so your teams keep working.
A Route Out of Lock-in
You know which provider services tie you in and what leaving would take, so portability is planned rather than discovered late.
How the Work Runs
Work moves in stages, and each stage ends with a decision you can see. Nothing changes until the acceptance test and the route back are agreed.
Assess the Estate
We inventory workloads, data, contracts and the links between systems, and you receive a dependency map that names every owner and interface. You give us the inventories and time with the people who run each system, and you approve the map before design starts.
Design the Target
We agree where each workload belongs and how it will move. A workload can move as it is when the platform fits. It can be adapted to the new platform when a managed service removes work, or rebuilt when its design blocks the target. You approve the target architecture and the migration wave plan before anything is built.
Prepare the Platform
We build the landing zone: accounts, networks, identity, guardrails and cost controls, all defined as code and reviewed like software. Your team reviews the first environment, and you decide the access rules before any workload arrives.
Move in Stages
Each wave copies and reconciles the data, rehearses the switch and checks the result against a runbook. You name the owner who signs off each wave. The wave closes only when each workload passes its acceptance test and its monthly cost matches the plan. Its route back must also have been rehearsed in the new environment.
Hand Over
You receive the target architecture, the dependency map, the runbooks and the recovery procedures in your own repositories. Your team decides whether it runs the estate or we do, and we stay for the first changes either way.
Platforms and Technologies
Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Alibaba Cloud are the public clouds we work in. Kubernetes runs containers as one portable estate. Terraform, OpenTofu and Pulumi describe servers and networks as files your team can review. Docker packages each service so it runs the same way everywhere.

Naming a product does not mean a partnership with its vendor.
AWS
We set up AWS accounts and guardrails, move workloads with its migration tools and keep cost and access visible.
Google Cloud
We build data, analytics and AI systems on Google Cloud, with BigQuery, Vertex AI and GKE under one control model.
Red Hat
We build OpenShift platforms on Red Hat, move applications into containers and keep operations planned.
Industries
Banking and Financial Services
Banking, payments, lending, wealth, insurance and digital wallets: the platforms they run on and the connections between them.
Energy and Utilities
Smart-grid analytics, OT defence, asset maintenance and ESG reporting for energy producers, utilities and grid operators.
Public Sector
Citizen portals, case management, payments and integrations with government registries, designed to recognised accessibility guidelines.
Software and Technology Companies
Software companies and technology teams: multi-tenant products, platforms and the AI features and billing that keep them growing.
Questions
What buyers ask before they approve a migration.
Will the migration interrupt our business?
We plan each move to avoid an interruption. Where a system cannot run in two places, we agree a maintenance window and rehearse the switch. The route back stays open until the acceptance test passes.
Which cloud provider should we use?
Usually the one you already use, unless there is a clear reason to change. We compare contracts, skills, latency, data rules and the services each provider offers before we recommend.
How do you avoid lock-in?
Infrastructure is defined in open tools and workloads run on portable platforms. Where a provider service is the better choice, we use it on purpose and write down the route out, with the effort it would take.
What does a migration cover?
We can move one application, a data centre or the whole estate. The scope names every system, its owner, its acceptance test and the order of the moves. Day-to-day operation stays with your team or our managed cloud service.
What drives the cost of a migration?
The number of systems, their dependencies and the state of their documentation. Your hardware, licences and cloud usage are separate, and we list them before you commit. The monthly cost of each workload is compared with the plan after it moves.
