Cloud migration is no longer optional for organisations that want to remain competitive. Our cloud migration practice covers the full spectrum — from simple lift-and-shift of existing Business Suite environments to full cloud-native re-architecture leveraging containerisation, managed databases, and serverless infrastructure. We work with all major hyperscalers including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and have developed repeatable migration playbooks that reduce risk and accelerate delivery. Our approach always includes a cloud readiness assessment, a detailed migration runbook, and post-migration optimisation to ensure you are not just in the cloud but getting the most from it.
What we deliver
Lift-and-Shift to Cloud-Native Transformation
Cloud Readiness Assessment
Technical and operational assessment of your current environment identifies migration risks, dependencies, and the optimal target architecture.
Migration Planning
Detailed runbooks, wave plans, and rollback procedures are prepared for every component before a single server is moved.
Lift-and-Shift Migration
Proven tooling migrates your existing Business Suite environment to cloud infrastructure with validated data integrity at every step.
Cloud-Native Optimisation
Post-migration refactoring leverages auto-scaling, managed services, and serverless patterns to reduce cost and improve resilience.
Disaster Recovery
Cross-region replication and automated failover capabilities ensure your Business Suite environment meets the most demanding RPO and RTO requirements.
Cost Optimisation
Continuous right-sizing, reserved instance planning, and workload scheduling reduce cloud spend without sacrificing performance.
How we work
Cloud Migration
- 01
Assess & Plan
Cloud readiness assessment, architecture design, and detailed migration runbook preparation before any migration activity begins.
- 02
Pilot Migration
A non-production environment is migrated first to validate tooling, test performance, and rehearse the cutover procedure.
- 03
Production Migration
Controlled production migration with real-time monitoring, automated validation checks, and a tested rollback plan in place.
- 04
Optimise & Govern
Post-migration optimisation, cost governance dashboards, and operational runbooks ensure your cloud environment runs efficiently long-term.
