Cloud Migration

Migrations that land on time and on budget — with a cost model you actually trust.

Lift, refactor, or rebuild — on AWS, Azure, or GCP. Migrations that land on time and on budget, with clear cost governance.

01 — Who this is for

SMBs running aging on-prem hardware, businesses paying for Microsoft 365 but using 20% of it, and operators staring at AWS or Azure bills no one in the room can explain line by line.

02 — What you get

Concrete, in writing.

No vague “best-in-class” promises. Every engagement ships with a defined scope and a checklist you can audit.

  • 01Workload inventory with cloud-fit scoring per app (lift, refactor, rebuild, retire)
  • 02Migration runbook with sequencing, rollback plan, and downtime windows
  • 03Cost governance dashboard — tags, budgets, alerts, and monthly variance reports
  • 04Microsoft 365 + Entra ID hardening (MFA, conditional access, license right-sizing)
  • 05Backup and disaster recovery architecture with documented RTO/RPO
  • 06Identity consolidation — SSO, lifecycle automation, off-boarding
  • 07Hand-off documentation your future self (or next hire) can actually use
03 — How we work

How a typical engagement runs.

  1. Step 01

    Discovery

    Two-week assessment of every workload, license, and data store. Output: a cloud-fit matrix and a cost projection that's accurate to the dollar within a quarter.

  2. Step 02

    Cloud-fit decisions

    Per app, we recommend lift, refactor, rebuild, or retire — with the cost and risk of each path. You decide what to fund.

  3. Step 03

    Pilot migration

    We migrate one workload first, measure performance and cost in production, and lock in the runbook before touching anything else.

  4. Step 04

    Phased rollout

    Workloads move in scheduled waves. Each wave ends with a documented sign-off and a 7-day monitoring window before the next.

  5. Step 05

    Cost optimization

    After cutover, we run 90 days of right-sizing and reserved-instance modeling. Most clients see 18–35% cost reduction in this phase.

04 — Stack we run

The vendors behind the work.

Certified across the platforms most SMBs already standardize on — and independent enough to recommend something else when it's the right answer.

  • Microsoft Azure
  • AWS
  • Google Cloud Platform
  • Microsoft 365 / Entra ID
  • VMware (on-prem and hybrid)
05 — The outcome

Predictable cloud bills. Apps that perform better than they did on the box in the closet. No "we'll fix that later" debt. And a license posture you can defend in a Microsoft true-up.

Want to know what your real cloud bill should look like?

We do paid cloud-fit assessments with a written workload matrix, projected monthly cost, and a phased migration plan. No commitment to do the migration with us.
