On-premise to cloud migration company
Your servers stay up. Your infrastructure moves to the cloud.
We move on-premises workloads to AWS, Azure, and GCP with a secure landing zone, zero-downtime cutover, and infrastructure as code from Sprint 1. Compliance scope defined before workload one is moved.

Why on-premises is getting more expensive
On-premises infrastructure does not get cheaper. It gets more expensive every year you stay on it.
The cost of staying on-premises
Hardware refresh every 3 to 5 years
Capital expenditure of $50k to $500k+ regardless of whether
you actually need the capacity at that moment.
Unplanned outages with no service level agreement
On-premises hardware failure means your team scrambles. No
cloud provider service level agreement. No automated
failover. No managed redundancy.
Compliance audits cost more on-premises
Manual evidence collection, physical access logs, and
network segmentation documentation take 3 to 4 times longer
in on-premises environments.
Capacity planning is always wrong
You over-provision for peak and under-utilize the rest of
the year. Or you under-provision and hit limits during your
busiest periods.
IT staff time on maintenance, not development
Patching, backup management, hardware monitoring, and
incident response consume senior engineering hours that
should go toward your product.
After migrating to cloud with Redefine
Capex replaced with predictable opex
Pay for what you use. No hardware refresh budget. Cost model
and savings estimate produced before workload 1 is moved.
99.9% uptime service level agreement with automated failover
Multi-AZ or multi-region redundancy. Cloud provider service
level agreement backed by contractual credits. Automated
recovery without a 2am call to your team.
Compliance-ready infrastructure from day one
Cloud landing zone built with IAM, VPC isolation, KMS
encryption, and audit logging in place before any workload
is migrated. Compliance scope defined in week 1.
Scale up or down in minutes, not months
Auto-scaling responds to real demand. No over-provisioning.
Black Friday scale available on demand, not pre-purchased
six months before.
IT team focused on product, not patching
Managed services handle patching, backups, and
infrastructure monitoring. Your engineers ship features
instead of maintaining servers.

Migration cost not included. We produce a detailed cost model
during the assessment.
How we run every cloud migration
Four phases. Every workload assessed, architected, migrated, and validated before the next one moves.
01
Migration readiness assessment
We document every workload: dependencies, integration points, data volumes, compliance requirements, and performance baselines. No workload moves without an assessed migration profile and a defined target architecture. This phase takes 2 weeks and prevents the surprises that cause migrations to fail.
Workload inventoryDependency mappingCost model
02
Cloud landing zone architecture
The landing zone is the governed cloud environment every workload migrates into. We design the account structure, VPC and network topology, IAM policies, security controls, and cost allocation before moving any workload. A landing zone prevents the governance debt that accumulates when workloads migrate into an unstructured cloud environment. Built with Terraform or Bicep, 100% reproducible.

Workload migration and cutover
We migrate workloads in priority order defined during the assessment. Stateless applications move first. Stateful services and databases migrate after their dependencies are established in the cloud. Each workload runs in parallel on both environments before traffic is shifted. A rollback plan is documented and tested for every workload before production traffic moves.

Stabilization, optimization, and handover
After cutover, we run a 30-day stabilization period: monitoring, cost review, performance tuning, and reserved instance sizing. At the end, your team receives a full runbook, Terraform or Bicep codebase, architecture documentation, alerting playbooks, and an operations handover session. We do not disappear after go-live.

FinTech compliance migration: on-premises to Google Cloud Platform with IAM, VPC isolation, and audit-ready infrastructure.
FinTechRegulated environment
The problem
The existing on-premises infrastructure limited scalability and made it difficult to meet evolving compliance expectations. Regulatory requirements demanded strong access controls, network isolation, encryption, and auditability throughout the migration process. Manual evidence collection for audits was consuming weeks of engineering time per compliance cycle.
- Compliance evidence collected manually each cycle
- No VPC isolation between environments
- On-premises capacity could not support growth
What we delivered
A secure cloud landing zone was designed on Google Cloud Platform, incorporating IAM policies, VPC-based network isolation, and key management using KMS. Encryption was enforced for data at rest and in transit. Legacy workloads and databases were migrated in a controlled manner, integrating identity providers and access controls to maintain security continuity. The architecture was built for traceability, least-privilege access, and audit readiness.

Common questions
What IT leaders ask before a cloud migration engagement.
A standard migration with 10 to 30 workloads typically runs 8 to 16 weeks. Timeline depends on workload complexity, compliance requirements, network architecture, and integration points. We scope the timeline during a 2-week assessment before quoting. Try the return on investment calculator above to estimate what staying on-premises costs you during that time.
No. We use parallel-run migration patterns for all production workloads. The on-premises system stays live while the cloud environment is built and validated. Traffic is shifted incrementally once the cloud environment passes validation. A rollback plan is defined and tested before production traffic moves.
Compliance scope is defined in week 1. For regulated industries, we design the cloud landing zone around your compliance framework before any workload is moved. IAM, network isolation, encryption at rest and in transit, and audit logging are built into the architecture, not retrofitted after migration.
We migrate to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Platform selection is made during the assessment based on workload requirements, compliance obligations, vendor relationships, and team expertise. We do not recommend a platform based on familiarity bias. See also Azure development services.
A cloud landing zone is a pre-configured, governed cloud environment defining account structure, network topology, IAM, security policies, and cost allocation before any workload migrates. Without a landing zone, workloads migrate into an unstructured environment that becomes expensive and difficult to govern at scale. We build the landing zone before migrating workload 1.
