Start from the problem
Move off on-premise
Without a weekend that turns into a fortnight.
The weekend that turns into a fortnight is not caused by the migration. It is caused by the things nobody wrote down: the batch job on a server under a desk, the integration that only works from one IP address, the report that reads the database directly.
Find it before the weekend, not during it.
What usually goes wrong
The things that are not in the plan
-
Undocumented dependencies
Something reads the database directly and nobody knows what.
-
Fixed addresses
Integrations pinned to an IP or a hostname that will not exist afterwards.
-
Licensing
Terms written for on-premise that change, or lapse, the moment the workload moves.
-
Latency
A chatty integration that was free on a LAN and is not free across a region.
-
The rollback
Frequently designed on the night, which is the one time it must already exist.
How we work
Discovery, design, build, run
-
Discovery
We look at what you actually have, and what has to still be true afterwards. There is no meter running on discussion time here. You get as many sessions as it takes to understand what is being built and why.
-
Design
Written down before anything is built. Scope, the shape of the solution, and the things we have agreed not to do.
-
Build
In the open, against real data, in increments you can look at. Nothing arrives as a surprise at the end.
-
Run
Live, then supported. Monitored, maintained, and extended as the business changes.
What you get
What is on the table at the end
- An inventory of what actually talks to what
- A workload by workload decision: move, reshape, rebuild or leave
- A landing zone with identity and guardrails already set
- A rehearsed cutover with a rollback that has been tested
- Monitoring and backup, proved by restoring something
- Handover to the people who will run it
Engagement
How this gets bought
Four ways
Fixed price, time and materials, retainer, or managed service. There is no minimum engagement size, so a single integration is a real conversation and not a rounding error.
What you are paying for
Senior people on the actual work, not a pyramid with one architect and fifteen juniors. Large firms charge a premium that has more to do with their overhead than with the quality of the delivery. The same work can be done properly for less, and that is the reason this company exists.
