Problem
01
We lifted and shifted and nothing improved.
02
We are scared of the cutover.
03
Costs went up after we moved.
Outcomes
- A safer, sequenced migration
- Lower risk at cutover
- Workloads that are genuinely better off
Scope
In scope
- Migration assessment and sequencing
- Modernisation of selected workloads
- Cutover and rollback
Not included
- Full application rewrites, which sit under engineering
- Cloud strategy, which is a separate capability
Approach
Discovery
We agree the workloads, constraints and operational targets, and how success will be judged.
Delivery planning
We sequence the work and set out costs, risks, controls and a rollback position.
Build and test
We build in the open, test against real workloads, and prove each change before cutover.
Operational readiness, hypercare and closure
We hand over runbooks, support the first weeks, and confirm the outcome before we close.
Deliverables
Migration planModernised workloadsCutover and rollback runbooks
Technologies
Infrastructure as codeCI/CD pipelinesContainers and orchestrationObservability and monitoring tooling
Controls
Every cutover has a tested rollback. Data is reconciled and verified after each move. Personal data is identified and handled under the privacy notice. Cost and performance are baselined before and after.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will there be downtime?
We plan cutovers to minimise it and always keep a tested rollback.
Do you modernise everything?
No. We modernise only where it pays, and move the rest as-is.
