Look first. Then lift.

Moving to the cloud is rarely a question of technology and almost always one of sequence. With no vendor to please, we work out what should move, what can stay and what can simply be retired – and, if you like, lead the migration all the way to stable operation.

The route · from first look to hypercare

Three steps, each a decision of its own.

1
Orient
Health Check · 3–5 days
Interviews, documents and a first look at the landscape and its dependencies. You come away with a clear leaning – now, later or not at all – and the three to five issues that will decide it.
2
Decide
Discovery Sprint · 2–4 weeks
A tool-assisted baseline, a dependency map, a vendor-neutral target architecture, right-sizing per workload and a TCO/ROI model that will survive the finance department. Plus a roadmap and a go/no-go the steering committee can act on.
3
Deliver
Programme Leadership · through hypercare
Governance, wave planning, supplier management, cutover and hypercare – led by the same people who built the business case.

When to call us

Ideally before the budget is committed.

Your maintenance contract is running out, the vendor is steering you towards its own cloud – and nobody in-house can say with confidence whether it adds up.
You have three proposals from three providers, and each one reliably recommends itself.
The migration has been approved, but between the business, IT and the suppliers there is nobody actually running it.

Packages

Every stage pays into the next.

The Health Check and the Discovery Sprint are fixed-price packages, credited in full against the next stage. Getting started costs you nothing you won’t get back – and stopping after any stage is expressly allowed.

Stage A · 3–5 days

Migration Health Check

A fast fix on where you stand before any budget is tied up: interviews with up to five key people, a first sort of your applications into rehost, replatform, refactor or retire, a risk picture and a recommendation for the next step.

Stage B · 2–4 weeks · core offering

The tool behind it

MigraFlow
