Cloud Strategy & Migration

Landing zones, cost modelling and phased migration, with a decommissioning plan attached.

Overview

Migrations fail commercially far more often than technically. The workloads move, the old estate is never switched off, and the business ends up paying for both.

We plan migrations with the decommissioning built into the schedule, and model the running cost before anything moves.

What is included

  • Current-estate discovery and dependency mapping
  • Migration strategy and wave planning
  • Landing zone design with security baked in
  • Cost modelling and budget forecasting
  • Workload migration and cutover execution
  • Identity, network and backup configuration
  • Decommissioning plan and execution
  • FinOps practice and cost attribution handover

How we run it

  1. 01

    Scope

    Discover the estate, map dependencies and model the target running cost.

  2. 02

    Build

    Build the landing zone, then migrate in waves starting with low-risk workloads.

  3. 03

    Launch

    Cut over with rollback available, then decommission the source systems.

  4. 04

    Measure

    Hand over cost attribution and a review cadence.

Questions

Before you enquire

Which cloud should we use?
Usually the one your team can already operate. Platform choice matters less than operating discipline for most organisations.
Will cloud reduce our costs?
Only with attribution and decommissioning. Lifting and shifting without either reliably costs more.
Can you migrate without downtime?
For most workloads, yes, with replication and staged cutover. We are explicit about the ones where a window is unavoidable.
