Solutions — Migrations

Move to AWS Once, Properly

Discovery, sequencing, and cutover for teams moving onto AWS from on-premises, a colocation facility, or another cloud.

Migration Is a Sequencing Problem

The hard part is rarely moving any single workload. It is deciding what moves first, what moves together, what gets rebuilt on the way, and what stays where it is for another year. Get the order right and each step is routine. Get it wrong and every step depends on the one that has not happened yet.

We start with discovery, build the sequence around your real dependencies, and prepare the target environment before anything lands in it. Each wave has a defined success test and a way back.

What the Work Covers

Discovery & Workload Assessment

A complete inventory of what you are running, what depends on what, and what each workload actually needs. Includes the honest read on which workloads are better rebuilt than moved.

Migration Planning & Sequencing

Waves grouped by dependency and risk, with a defined success test for each. You get a plan with dates that hold, and a clear picture of which decisions are still open.

Target Environment Preparation

Accounts, network, identity, and guardrails standing before the first workload arrives, so migration is not also an environment design project running in parallel.

Database & Data Migration

Engine selection, replication strategy, and cutover approach using AWS DMS or native tooling. Data movement rehearsed against real volumes before the date that counts.

Cutover & Validation

Runbook-driven cutovers with rollback defined in advance, validation against agreed criteria, and a decommissioning plan for what you are leaving behind.

What You End Up With

A defensible sequence

Each wave stands on its own, so a delay in one place does not stall the whole programme.

An environment ready to operate

The target is built to run in, not just to land in, with guardrails and logging already in place.

A decommissioning path

The old estate has an end date, which is where migration savings actually come from.
