Cloud Architecture & Migration

Cloud architecture & migration services

We design secure landing zones and migrate applications and data in planned waves, so you end up with a platform that's cheaper to run and easier to change.

A custom engineering engagement

We scope this service around your workflow, existing systems and acceptance criteria. The work starts with the problem and its constraints, then a written scope and price. A packaged solution is a different buying route: choose it when its defined deliverables already fit the job.

01The problem

Where things usually stall

Well-architected cloud foundations and migrations planned wave by wave.

  • 01

    Lift-and-shift regret

    Servers moved as-is cost more in the cloud than they did in the data centre.

  • 02

    Account sprawl

    Dozens of accounts and projects with no consistent networking, identity or tagging.

  • 03

    Migration fear

    Critical systems stay on ageing hardware because nobody wants to own the risk.

02Capabilities

What we deliver

  • 01

    Cloud readiness assessment

    Application inventory, dependencies and a migration strategy for each workload.

  • 02

    Landing zone design

    Accounts, networking, identity and guardrails set up as code.

  • 03

    Migration waves

    Workloads grouped and moved in order, with testing and rollback for each wave.

  • 04

    Data migration

    Database moves with replication, validation and short cut-over windows.

  • 05

    Hybrid and multi-cloud

    Connectivity and governance across clouds and on-premise systems.

  • 06

    Architecture reviews

    Well-architected reviews of existing platforms with a prioritised fix list.

03Outcomes

What changes once it’s live

  • 01

    A documented landing zone

    Network boundaries, identity, logging and environment ownership defined in code.

  • 02

    A workload-specific migration

    Each application gets a placement, dependency and cutover plan based on how it runs today.

  • 03

    A recovery route

    Backup, restore and rollback assumptions are tested before the old environment is retired.

04Approach

How we deliver it

  1. 01

    Inventory the workload

    Map applications, data stores, traffic patterns and dependencies, including the links outside your cloud account.

  2. 02

    Design the destination

    Agree identity, network, resilience and cost constraints, then express the landing zone as code.

  3. 03

    Rehearse the move

    Test data transfer, application behaviour and recovery in a staging environment before production cutover.

  4. 04

    Cut over with evidence

    Reconcile data, monitor the agreed health checks and retain a usable rollback window before decommissioning.

07FAQ

Frequently asked questions

View pricing guide
How long does a migration take?

A small estate can move in six to eight weeks. Larger portfolios run in waves over several months.

Should we containerise everything?

No. We containerise where it pays off and use managed services where they're simpler.

Can you help us choose a cloud provider?

Yes. We compare cost, services and team skills for your workloads and make a recommendation.

How is the engagement priced?

We agree a fixed scope and price after reviewing the work, system dependencies and acceptance criteria. The pricing guide explains approved ranges for the engagement types it covers. A written proposal confirms what is included before a build starts.

How should the first delivery decision be made?

Map applications, data stores, traffic patterns and dependencies, including the links outside your cloud account. Agree identity, network, resilience and cost constraints, then express the landing zone as code.

What should the acceptance criteria cover?

Network boundaries, identity, logging and environment ownership defined in code. Each application gets a placement, dependency and cutover plan based on how it runs today. Backup, restore and rollback assumptions are tested before the old environment is retired.
