Cloud Migration Consulting Services
We assess your infrastructure, design the right migration architecture for your workloads, and execute a phased move to the cloud — with production running throughout and no big-bang cutovers that put the business at risk.
Migration Without the Horror Stories
Cloud migrations fail for predictable reasons: no readiness assessment before committing to a provider, a lift-and-shift approach applied to workloads that need refactoring, and no cost governance until the first bill arrives. We address all three before a single workload moves.
Every engagement starts with an honest readiness assessment — what you have, what it costs now, what it will cost in the cloud, and which migration approach fits each workload. Some things should lift-and-shift. Others need refactoring first or they’ll cost three times as much to run in the cloud as on-premise. We tell you which is which before you commit.
Cloud Migration Consulting Services
Cloud Readiness Assessment
A full inventory of your current infrastructure: servers, services, databases, dependencies, and egress patterns. We identify which workloads are cloud-ready today, which need preparation, and what the realistic total-cost-of-ownership looks like in the cloud vs your current setup.
Migration Planning
A phased migration roadmap with clear sequencing: which workloads move first, in what order, with what rollback plan at each step. We include timeline, resource requirements, and risk mapping — so nothing moves without a tested plan in place.
Lift-and-Shift vs Refactor Strategy
Not every workload should be treated the same. We determine the right migration approach for each: lift-and-shift for stable, cost-efficient workloads; containerisation or re-platforming where it reduces operational overhead; refactor or rebuild where the existing architecture would be expensive or brittle in the cloud.
Post-Migration Optimisation
Moving to the cloud is the start, not the end. After migration we optimise for cost (right-sizing instances, reserved capacity, storage tiers), reliability (auto-scaling, multi-zone redundancy), and security (IAM policies, network segmentation, encryption at rest and in transit).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is cloud migration consulting?
Cloud migration consulting is the process of planning and executing a move of on-premise or legacy-hosted infrastructure and applications to a cloud platform (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or a private cloud). A consultant assesses your current environment, designs the target architecture, selects the right migration approach for each workload, manages the execution, and optimises the environment after migration — so you get the reliability and cost benefits of the cloud without the risks of a poorly planned move.
How long does cloud migration take?
A focused migration of a small number of services can complete in 4–8 weeks. Mid-size organisations migrating multiple applications with dependencies typically need 3–6 months. Large enterprise migrations with complex on-premise environments are phased over 6–18 months. Duration depends on the number of workloads, how tightly coupled they are, and how much refactoring is needed before migration. The readiness assessment we run at the start of every engagement gives you a realistic timeline before any work begins.
What are the risks of cloud migration?
The main risks are: unexpected cost increases (cloud bills are variable — without cost governance, lift-and-shift can cost more than on-premise); data loss or downtime during cutover (mitigated by phased migration with rollback plans at each step); security misconfiguration (cloud defaults are often permissive — IAM, network, and encryption need explicit attention); and application performance issues (some applications behave differently in virtualised environments or with cloud-native networking). Each of these is manageable with proper planning — they become problems when organisations skip the assessment phase.
How much does cloud migration cost?
Migration consulting cost depends on scope: the number of workloads, their complexity, and how much preparation is needed. A small-scale migration of 3–5 services typically runs €10,000–€25,000 in consulting fees. Larger migrations are scoped by phase. Separate from consulting fees, your ongoing cloud infrastructure costs will depend on your workload sizes and the cloud provider you choose — the readiness assessment includes a total-cost-of-ownership comparison so you can make an informed decision.
