Faster delivery
Established migration paths and a team that has run them before, rather than a plan being invented against your deadline.

Cloud migrations
Move workloads to the cloud without the bad weekend. Dependencies mapped, waves prioritised, cutover rehearsed with a tested rollback — delivered on a fixed price with milestone payments.
The method
Five waves, and a rollback plan at every one
Migration failures are rarely technical surprises — they are dependencies nobody mapped and cutovers nobody rehearsed. This sequence exists to remove both.
Discover & analyse
Inventory the workloads, map the dependencies between them, and find the integrations that only reveal themselves at cutover.
Design the target
Secured landing zone, identity platform and network design on the destination cloud, sized against the workloads actually moving.
Prioritise into waves
Sequence workloads by risk and dependency so the first move is the one that teaches you most at the lowest cost.
Rehearse & migrate
Prove the approach with a proof of concept, then execute each wave inside an agreed window with a tested rollback path.
Validate & optimise
Application testing, performance tuning against cloud-native scaling, and a FinOps review so month one does not deliver a bill shock.
Migration paths
Routes we have run before
These are established paths with known pitfalls, not exploratory work. Most have been executed on production estates under a fixed price.
Database migrations
- SQL Server → Azure SQL
- SQL Server → Azure SQL MI
- Oracle → EDB Postgres
- Oracle cross-platform
- On-premises → Amazon RDS
- MySQL & PostgreSQL to managed services
Infrastructure & application moves
- On-premises → Microsoft Azure
- On-premises → AWS
- On-premises → Oracle Cloud (OCI)
- JD Edwards → OCI
- Lift-and-shift or re-platform
- Application modernisation
What we build on arrival
- Secured landing zone
- Identity platform integration
- Geo-replication & DR
- Backup & recovery strategy
- Monitoring & alerting
The part that worries you
How we keep downtime out of the migration
Every client asks the same first question. The answer is not a promise — it is a set of practices that make the cutover window small and reversible.
- Dependency analysis before planning, so nothing is discovered on cutover night
- Workloads prioritised into waves rather than moved in one high-risk event
- Replication or log shipping to keep the target in sync ahead of the switch
- A rehearsed cutover with a tested rollback path, agreed before the window opens
- Execution inside an agreed change window under ITIL change management
- Failover and application testing to confirm the outcome rather than assume it
- Post-migration monitoring and support while the new environment settles
Why us for a migration
Four things that decide whether a migration goes well
Cost savings
Cost modelled before you commit and optimised after you land — including licence reduction routes like Oracle to EDB.
Certified experts
Consultants certified across Azure, AWS and Oracle Cloud, so the destination is chosen on merit rather than familiarity.
Database depth
Migrations usually fail at the data tier. That is the layer we have run for two decades — it is our home ground, not a subcontract.
Thinking about a move this year?
Start with a cloud readiness assessment. You get the workload inventory, the cost model and the risk list before committing to anything — for a fixed price.

Common questions
Where the scope is defined, the migration is quoted as a single fixed price with milestone-based payments, so there is no cost-overrun risk. Open-scope work is $150 per hour with a four-hour minimum. Both are GST exclusive and the scoping call is free.
Less than most teams expect, because the cutover window is the last step rather than the whole project. Replication or log shipping keeps the target in sync beforehand, the cutover is rehearsed, and a tested rollback path is agreed before the window opens.
SQL Server to Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance, Oracle to EDB Postgres, Oracle cross-platform moves, on-premises to Azure, AWS or Oracle Cloud, JD Edwards to OCI, and MySQL or PostgreSQL onto managed cloud services.
Often substantially. Moving Oracle workloads to EDB Postgres removes Oracle licence cost while keeping enterprise capability, and right-sizing during a migration typically finds over-provisioned infrastructure that has been paid for out of habit.
You roll back. A tested rollback path is part of the plan for every wave, agreed before the change window opens — not improvised on the night. That is also why we migrate in prioritised waves rather than as one high-risk event.
Yes — infrastructure, applications and data. Migrations most often fail at the data tier, which is the layer we have run for two decades, so that part is our home ground rather than something we subcontract.
Comprehensive design, build and operational documentation, evidence from failover and application testing, a closed change record, and post-migration monitoring and support while the environment settles. A FinOps review follows so the first bill holds no surprises.
A cloud readiness assessment. It gives you the workload inventory, the cost model and the risk list for a fixed price, before you commit to migrating anything.
