Move the workload, keep the business running.
Wave-planned migrations from on-prem and legacy clouds to AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, or sovereign cloud — rehost, replatform, refactor, replace. Discovery, business case, cutover plan, and FinOps from day one.
Capabilities under one accountable team.
6Rs migration discovery
Application inventory, dependency mapping, workload classification (rehost / replatform / refactor / repurchase / retire / retain), business-case modelling.
Wave planning & cutover
Risk-balanced wave plan, infrastructure-as-code blueprints, runbooks, rollback drills. Zero-downtime cutovers using blue-green and database replication patterns.
Database & data migration
Oracle → PostgreSQL, SQL Server → Aurora, mainframe DB2 → cloud, with continuous replication, validation, and audit-grade evidence.
Post-migration FinOps & SRE
Right-sizing, reserved-capacity planning, autoscaling, observability, SLOs — turn migration into a sustained run-cost reduction, not a one-off.
Outcomes you can hold us to — by horizon.
Foundations
Outcome tree, baseline metrics, and a working pilot in production by day 90 — defensible with finance, signed off by risk.
Scale
Squad expansion across the next 2–3 value pools. Live-parallel cutovers. Capability uplift inside the client team.
Run & optimise
Managed run with named SLOs, quarterly value reviews, and a continuous-improvement budget reserved for innovation, not toil.
Five steps. One accountable team.
Discover
Inventory, dependencies, workload classification, business case with TCO model.
Foundation
Landing zones, network, identity, security, observability — the paved road every workload migrates onto.
Wave 1
5–10 low-risk workloads end-to-end. Patterns proven, runbooks refined, team trained.
Scale
Subsequent waves on monthly cadence with quarterly cost reviews.
Optimise
Right-size, reserve, modernise — turn migration into a run-cost-reduction programme.
Airline operator migrates 220 workloads from on-prem to AWS in 11 months — 41% run-cost cut.

Read case studyThree commercial models. One outcome standard.
We avoid open-ended retainers. Every model names its outcome and its measurement window in the contract.
Fixed-price diagnostic
2–4 week engagement. Outcome tree, baseline metrics, prioritised value pools, and a board-ready 18-month roadmap. Stop-go decision in week 4.
Outcome-linked pilot
8–12 week engagement to ship one value pool, end-to-end, with a measurable KPI commitment. Joint squads with the client team. Live-parallel before cutover.
Programme + managed run
Multi-quarter scale-out with managed services on top. Quarterly value reviews. SLO-tied annual incentive. Capability transfer by design.
Frequently asked questions
Lift-and-shift or refactor? +
Both. We classify per workload — most enterprises end up with a mix. Lift-and-shift first, modernise once stable, retire what nobody uses.
How do you guarantee zero downtime? +
Blue-green deployments, database replication, traffic shadowing, and rollback drills. We can’t guarantee zero on every workload, but we minimise it explicitly per cutover.
What about data residency? +
In-region migrations across all major hyperscalers. Sovereign-cloud destinations supported. Data classification done up-front so we know where each dataset legally can sit.
Migrating from VMware / Hyper-V? +
Common. We use VMware Cloud on AWS, Azure VMware Solution, or GCP VMware Engine for like-for-like, then refactor in place when ready.
How long for a 200-workload estate? +
Median 11–14 months. Driven by application complexity, business-cycle constraints, and how many workloads can be retired or repurchased.
Can you take over a stalled migration? +
Yes. Recovery diagnostic in 4 weeks with a stop-go recommendation in week 5. We have rescued 20+ stalled cloud programmes.
