Our Migration Methodology

The Four Pillars of Cloud Migration Success

Our proven methodology ensures secure, compliant, and successful cloud migrations for government agencies at every level.

Cloud Readiness Assessment

Comprehensive evaluation and migration strategy in 4-8 weeks

We begin every cloud migration with a comprehensive assessment of your current infrastructure, applications, and processes. Our team evaluates cloud readiness, develops TCO analysis, and creates a detailed migration roadmap aligned with your mission objectives.

  • Current state infrastructure and application inventory
  • Application portfolio analysis and dependency mapping
  • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and ROI analysis
  • Migration roadmap with prioritized workloads and timeline

Migration Strategies

Tailored Approach for Every Application

We select the optimal migration strategy based on your application characteristics, business requirements, and modernization goals.

Rehost (Lift & Shift)

Fastest migration with minimal changes

Move applications to cloud with minimal changes. Ideal for legacy applications and quick migration needs. Provides 20-30% cost savings with the fastest time to value.

  • Minimal application changes required
  • Fastest migration timeline
  • 20-30% cost savings
  • Best for legacy applications and quick wins

Replatform (Lift & Reshape)

Targeted optimizations without re-architecture

Make targeted optimizations to leverage managed services without changing core architecture. Provides 30-40% cost savings with moderate migration timeline.

  • Leverage managed services (RDS, containers)
  • Moderate migration timeline
  • 30-40% cost savings
  • Best for applications that benefit from managed services

Refactor (Re-architect)

Cloud-native redesign for maximum value

Redesign applications to be cloud-native with microservices, serverless, and containers. Provides 40-60% cost savings and maximum scalability and resilience.

  • Cloud-native architecture (microservices, serverless)
  • Longer migration timeline
  • 40-60% cost savings
  • Best for mission-critical apps requiring scalability
