Migration Strategies

Choose Your Path to the Cloud

We help you select the right migration approach for each workload based on business value, complexity, and timeline

Rehost (Lift & Shift)

Fastest path to cloud—migrate applications as-is with minimal changes for quick wins and immediate benefits.

Best for:Legacy systems, time-sensitive migrations, proof of concepts

Replatform

Optimize applications for cloud by making targeted modifications without changing core architecture.

Best for:Applications needing performance improvements, managed services adoption

Refactor / Re-architect

Transform applications into cloud-native architectures for maximum scalability, resilience, and agility.

Best for:Strategic applications, high-growth systems, innovation enablers

Retire / Replace

Identify redundant applications for retirement or replacement with modern SaaS alternatives.

Best for:Outdated systems, duplicate functionality, technical debt reduction

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our cloud migration services

How do you minimize downtime during migration?

We employ multiple strategies including blue-green deployments, database replication with near-zero RPO, phased cutover approaches, and comprehensive rollback plans. Most migrations achieve less than 4 hours of planned downtime, with many achieving zero downtime through careful planning.

What happens to our existing data center contracts?

We help you navigate existing commitments by creating migration timelines that align with contract renewals and negotiate favorable exit terms when possible. Our financial models account for overlapping costs during transition periods.

How do you ensure data security during migration?

All data transfers use encrypted channels, and we implement strict access controls throughout the migration process. We maintain chain of custody documentation and validate data integrity at every stage with automated checksums and reconciliation.

Can you migrate applications we don't have source code for?

Yes, we have extensive experience migrating COTS applications, legacy systems, and applications where source code is unavailable. Our rehosting approach can lift these workloads while our discovery tools map dependencies without code access.
