Move Business Services Across Technologies and Platforms, Minimizing Risk, Disruption and Downtime

Your modernization strategy relies on successful application migrations. But, in reality, most businesses lack the technical resources, time or knowledge needed to smoothly migrate applications across technologies and platforms — resulting in business risk, disruption and downtime.

In fact, according to Forrester, 80% of organizations are at least two years into their modernization journey, with almost 30% experiencing complications that stalled the migration process. And 40% report that migrations and operations are costing more than forecast.

Our specialist migration team has the strategy, planning and execution expertise you need, across all application migration scenarios — so you can modernize faster and more successfully, while protecting your business.

The Expertise You Need, Across All Application Migration Scenarios

Application Migration Services

No matter how your business services are constructed or hosted, our application migration specialists will move you smoothly to your target environment. We profile your application landscape, determine the appropriate migration strategy for each application, design the target architecture and then plan and execute the transition into your intended future state. Where appropriate, we help you build confidence and momentum using an agile migration factory approach, applying automation to achieve sustainable, efficient delivery at a pace that suits your business.

We create a dedicated team for your migration project consisting of migration consultants, project managers, architects and engineers. Our experts have extensive experience migrating across on-premises and all leading public and private clouds including AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure and VMware.

Cloud Strategy and Enablement

Successful migrations are built on a detailed understanding of business priorities, engaged stakeholders, clear architectural principles and a validated view of your target platform. If you need support selecting a target cloud platform or developing an architecture framework for your new environment, our consultants are on hand to help.

Cloud Architecture Principles

Strong architecture frameworks and design principles de-risk and future-proof your application environments. Our consultants help you design and apply pragmatic architecture, engineering and migration controls that shape your approach to platform adoption.

Based on years of deploying and managing clouds at scale for customers, we help remove subjectivity and ambiguity from your platform choices. Our consulting architects apply a battle-tested, structured assessment approach, collaborating with you to determine and test which cloud platform(s) and services best fit your overall cloud adoption strategy and business objectives.
