Cloud readiness assessment
Application by application: what can lift and shift, what needs re-platforming, what should be replaced, and what genuinely should stay on-premise.
Better performance and resilience, at a cost you can predict.
Migrate applications and business systems to cloud-native environments with better performance, resilience, security, and cost efficiency.
If several of these are true for your business, this service is usually where the fastest return sits.
Not every element applies to every business. We scope to what your operations need, and say so when something is not worth doing.
Application by application: what can lift and shift, what needs re-platforming, what should be replaced, and what genuinely should stay on-premise.
The foundation — accounts, networking, identity, logging, and guardrails — set up properly before the first workload lands, so you are not retrofitting governance later.
Wave-based migration with rehearsals, cutover windows chosen around your business calendar, and rollback available at every step.
Real backup, tested restore, and a recovery target that has been agreed with the business rather than assumed by IT. We test the restore, because an untested backup is a hope.
Right-sizing, autoscaling, storage tiering, commitment planning, and tagging so spend is attributable. Cloud is only cheaper when someone is actually managing it.
Where it pays back, we go beyond lift-and-shift: containers, managed databases, serverless components, and CI/CD — so the platform gets cheaper and faster to change over time.
Indicative ranges from comparable engagements. Your assessment produces numbers for your own operations.
Every engagement ends with artefacts your team can use, extend, and operate without us. Documentation and handover are part of the scope, not an optional extra.
Each phase is independently valuable. You can pause after any of them and still be better off than when you started.
Inventory every workload, map dependencies, and group applications into migration waves that can move together safely.
Accounts, network, identity, logging, and guardrails as code — the foundation everything else lands on.
Start with the lowest-risk wave to prove the process. Rehearse each cutover before doing it for real.
Containers, managed services, and automation applied selectively — where the return justifies the change.
Right-size against real usage, tune spend, prove the DR restore, and hand over with runbooks and monitoring in place.
Chosen for how well it is supported and how easily your team can take it on — not for how impressive it sounds.
The sectors where we most often deliver this work, and where the payback is usually fastest.
Not automatically, and we will say so if the numbers do not work. Cloud wins on resilience, elasticity, and avoided hardware refresh; it wins on raw cost when workloads are right-sized and idle capacity is switched off. The assessment gives you both numbers before you commit.
Yes. Hybrid is a legitimate end state, particularly where machinery, licensing, or latency ties a workload to a site. We design the connectivity and identity so both sides behave as one estate.
For most workloads, a planned window of a few hours during a quiet period, using replication so the bulk of the data moves ahead of time. Some workloads migrate with no downtime at all. Every window is rehearsed first.
Whichever fits your workloads, your team's existing skills, and your commercial position. We have delivered on all three major providers and have no reseller incentive pointing us at one.
Ship faster, break less, and know before your customers do.
Security designed in, and evidence ready when someone asks for it.
Move off rigid, expensive systems without stopping the business.
Start with a short conversation. We will tell you honestly whether this is the right place to begin, or whether something else pays back faster.
