Cloud Migrations

Accelerate, transform and innovate faster.

Much more than 'lift-and-shift' — we build a smarter, more secure cloud environment and help you discover new ways to enable technology. Agility in a cloud-first world.

Capabilities

What's included

Discovery & dependency mapping
We inventory every workload, integration and data flow first — nothing gets moved until we understand what talks to what and which cutover order keeps services up.
Email to Microsoft 365
Exchange, Google Workspace, IMAP and hybrid migrations. Coexistence during transition, no mail loss, MX flip only after rehearsal.
Applications to AWS & Azure
Rehost, replatform or refactor — whichever gives the best cost and resilience outcome. Landing zones built to Well-Architected Framework standards.
Data & files
SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams and Azure Files migrations — with permissions, version history and metadata preserved. Terabyte-scale transfers over AWS Snowball or Azure Data Box where warranted.
TCO & FinOps modelling
Three-year cost model comparing on-prem, lift-and-shift and cloud-native. Reserved Instances, Savings Plans and autoscaling built into the baseline.
Security from day one
Identity, network segmentation, encryption, logging and incident response wired into the landing zone before the first workload lands.
Every engagement includes
Workload-by-workload assessment
Dependency & data-flow mapping
Landing zone & account structure
Well-Architected Framework review
Cutover planning & rollback runbooks

FAQ

What clients ask before signing

Convenience, cost reduction, scalability and security. Access your tools from anywhere, pay only for what you use, scale on demand, and benefit from provider-grade security.
Yes. We work on AWS and Azure Australian regions so your workloads and data stay local.
Typically yes — by eliminating physical servers, paying only for capacity you use, and avoiding over-provisioning. We quantify the savings in the discovery assessment.
Neither is universally right. Lift-and-shift wins when the clock is the biggest constraint. Refactor pays off on long-lived systems with clear bottlenecks. We'll give you the honest call per workload.
Common and often the right answer. We run hybrid Active Directory, ExpressRoute/Direct Connect, and hybrid file services for clients that can't move everything at once.
Resources pinned to Australian regions by default. For regulated workloads we add region locks, customer-managed keys, and data residency attestations in contract.
