Cloud Modernization & Migration

We plan and execute migrations of data warehouses, pipelines, and analytics workloads to cloud platforms, with validation at each step so reports keep working while the foundation changes.

When this helps

Problems this service solves

  • An on-premises warehouse is reaching hardware, licence, or support limits.
  • Previous migration attempts stalled because dependencies were not understood.
  • The business cannot accept a long freeze on reporting changes.
  • Cloud costs are a concern before anything has moved.

What we deliver

Capabilities

01

Assessment and dependency mapping

Catalogue objects, pipelines, reports, and users, and identify what to migrate, re-engineer, or retire.

02

Target architecture

Design the cloud platform, security, networking, environments, and cost controls that fit your constraints.

03

Phased migration

Move workloads in waves, with replication or parallel loads so both platforms can run while results are compared.

04

Validation and cut-over

Reconcile row counts, totals, and report outputs, then cut over with a rehearsed plan and rollback path.

Approach

How an engagement runs

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Assess

    Understand the current estate and define migration scope.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Plan

    Sequence waves, environments, and validation criteria.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Migrate

    Move and test each wave with parallel runs.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Decommission

    Retire old components once results are confirmed.

Things we will be honest about

  • Not every workload belongs in the cloud. We will say so when keeping something where it is makes more sense.
  • Cost estimates depend on usage patterns, so we model them with you rather than quoting generic savings.
