Cloud Consulting and Migration Services

Cloud migrations go wrong in two predictable ways. The first is the lift-and-shift that changes the hosting bill without changing anything else — same architecture, same manual processes, now with per-hour pricing and a surprise egress line item. The second is the over-engineered replatform that turns a six-month project into an eighteen-month one because someone decided everything should be serverless microservices before anyone had established what the actual constraints were.

We start with an assessment that produces numbers, not adjectives: a full application and dependency inventory, current total cost of ownership including the staff time nobody counts, a per-workload disposition decision across rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase and retire, and a modelled target-state cost with the assumptions written down. That document is what the business case is approved against, and it is deliberately conservative.

Execution begins with a landing zone — account or subscription structure, network topology, identity and access boundaries, guardrails, logging, and cost allocation tags — because retrofitting governance onto a populated cloud estate is painful and expensive. Then workloads move in dependency-ordered waves, each with a rehearsed cutover, a tested rollback, and validation criteria agreed in advance. Data migration is the usual critical path, so we plan replication, consistency verification and the cutover window early rather than discovering the problem in month four.

FinOps is part of the engagement, not an afterthought. Right-sizing, commitment planning, storage lifecycle policies, autoscaling that actually scales down, and per-team cost visibility typically recover 25–40% against the naive post-migration bill. We hand over dashboards, tagging discipline and a written operating model so the savings persist after we leave.
