Who this is for
The right fit
- Companies leaving on-prem or co-located data centers
- Teams consolidating across multiple cloud providers
- Orgs whose data center lease forces a deadline
- Platforms whose cloud spend has run away from value

Anatomy
Challenges, approach, outcomes
The core shape of every engagement.
Challenges Addressed
- •Complex dependencies between systems
- •Downtime requirements are strict
- •Team lacks cloud expertise
- •Unclear cost implications
Approach
- 1.Detailed dependency mapping and sequencing
- 2.Lift-and-shift first, optimize second
- 3.Parallel running with gradual cutover
- 4.Knowledge transfer throughout process
Outcomes
- Successful migration with minimal downtime
- Team capable of operating in new environment
- Clear path to cloud-native optimization
- Predictable and often reduced costs
How we work
Engagement phases
A predictable rhythm from kickoff to handoff. Phases overlap when it makes sense.
Discovery
Inventory workloads, dependencies, and compliance constraints.
- Workload inventory
- Migration wave plan
- TCO model
Landing Zone
Stand up secure-by-default accounts, networking, IAM, and observability.
- Account structure
- Network/IAM baseline
- Observability stack
Migrate Waves
Move workloads in waves, validating each before cutover.
- Migrated workloads
- Cutover runbooks
- Rollback paths
Optimize
Right-size, refactor, and adopt cloud-native services where they pay back.
- Cost optimization
- Cloud-native refactors
- FinOps cadence

FAQ
Common questions
What founders and engineering leaders ask before kicking off.
Lift-and-shift or refactor first?
Lift-and-shift to land safely, then refactor what actually pays back. Trying to refactor mid-flight is how migrations slip by years.
How do you keep cloud bills under control?
Tagging from day one, savings plans for steady-state, autoscaling for variable load, and a monthly FinOps review.
