Solutions – Migration & Modernization

Move to the cloud one system at a time – with a way back at every step.

Move what works as-is. Modernize what should evolve. Rebuild only what pays off. Every step is validated before the next, production keeps running throughout, and there's a way back if anything surprises.

The four moves

One system at a time – never a big-bang cutover

Assess & prioritize

Map what you run, what it depends on, and what it costs. Decide the right move per workload: as-is, containerized, or re-architected.

Migrate one system

Take the first workload across, defined as Infrastructure-as-Code so the move is repeatable and reviewable – not a manual one-off.

Validate

Run old and new side by side and check the new one behaves. The old path stays live, so there's a way back until you're sure.

Cut over & repeat

Switch traffic when it's proven, then move the next system. The first workload is live in weeks, and each one de-risks the next.

How it works

What actually protects production during the move.

Who can touch source and target, what's recorded when it runs, and what “a way back” means in practice.

Access scoped, source and target

Migration tooling gets least-privilege, time-boxed access to the source system and the target AWS account – scoped to the workload being moved, not standing admin on either side.

Every step as reviewed code

The migration runs from Infrastructure-as-Code, reviewed and versioned. What ran, when, and against which environment is logged, so the move can be audited afterwards.

A technical way back

Old and new run in parallel before cutover, traffic switched via snapshot, blue/green, or DNS cutover depending on the workload – only once the new one is proven.

Whose account, whose keys

Yours throughout. No lock-in at the end.

Workloads land in your AWS account, migrated and validated by us – you keep the keys. We operate it for as long as you want, and hand over the keys whenever you ask. During the engagement, our access is a role you grant in your own account – scoped, time-boxed, and logged; you can revoke it at any time.

How a migration stays uneventful

The goal is a move nobody outside the project notices.

  • monitoring and alerting checked for parity before the old path is switched off
  • right-sized against real post-cutover usage, so the bill matches reality

Migrations and modernizations we've delivered

Dormakaba – Ambiance, re-platformed on AWS

A Windows .NET application installed hotel by hotel, re-platformed as containerized .NET services on Amazon ECS/Fargate under the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) – without breaking the 26,000+ hotels already running it.
