Move to the cloud without inheriting the old problems

Lifting an estate into the cloud unchanged usually reproduces its constraints at a higher run rate. We start from the business case, design the target architecture and its security controls together, then migrate in stages that can be validated and rolled back.

The difference that matters

Two ways to arrive in the cloud.

Unchanged

Lifting an estate into the cloud unchanged usually reproduces its constraints at a higher run rate.

Designed

We start from the business case, design the target architecture and its security controls together, then migrate in stages that can be validated and rolled back.

How we work

The same four stages, whatever the engagement.

Current state Operated estate
  1. 01

    Assess

    Establish the current state against your actual requirements — scope, users, performance expectations and compliance obligations.

  2. 02

    Design

    Produce the target architecture with its security controls designed in, plus the tactical plan to reach it.

  3. 03

    Deploy

    Build, configure and cut over — leaving as-built documentation and standard operating procedures behind.

  4. 04

    Run

    Operate, monitor and maintain the compliance position, so the estate does not drift back from the design.

Executives can stay at the line level. Technical buyers can go as deep as they need.

Platforms

Built on the platform you already run, or the one you are moving to.

Where the workload lands

Microsoft Azure
Enterprise-aligned workloads
The common landing point for estates already standardised on Microsoft identity, licensing and directory services, where the migration can lean on infrastructure the business already understands.
AWS
Breadth of managed services
Useful where the target architecture wants to lean on a wide catalogue of managed compute, data and container services rather than running more of the stack by hand.
Questions

Before you get in touch.

Do we have to move everything at once?

No. Migrations are sequenced in stages that can each be validated before the next begins, so the estate never depends on a single cutover weekend to work.

How do you decide between Azure and AWS?

From what the estate already runs on, and what the target architecture actually needs — existing licensing and identity commitments, the managed services a workload depends on, and where your own team's operational experience already sits.

What happens to an application we do not want to touch?

Not every workload needs re-architecting to move. Some are lifted with minimal change and revisited later; the migration plan says explicitly which path each workload takes and why.

Who operates the environment once migration is done?

Whoever you decide should. You receive the as-built documentation and standard operating procedures either way — moving into a managed service is an option, not a dependency the migration creates.
