Cloud migrations engineered for cost, performance and resilience.
Cloud done badly is more expensive and more fragile than what you had. We come from cloud and DevOps backgrounds and run migrations the way platform teams do - with discovery, cost modelling, infrastructure-as-code and post-migration optimization.
What's included
- Discovery & dependency mapping
- Cost-modelled landing zones (Azure / AWS)
- Lift-and-shift or re-platform
- Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
- Identity & networking design
- Post-migration cost optimization
- Canadian-region deployments for data residency
What clients come to us with
- Cloud costs creeping up with no clear owner
- Lift-and-shift environments that perform worse than on-prem
- No infrastructure-as-code, no repeatable environments
- Backups, monitoring and DR that didn't survive the migration
- Compliance and data residency requirements (Canadian regions)
What you can expect
- Lower, predictable monthly cloud spend
- Repeatable environments via IaC
- Stronger security and observability baked in
- A migration plan you can actually defend
Who this is for
- SMBs leaving aging on-prem servers
- Scaling SaaS / tech startups
- Multi-site businesses consolidating infrastructure

Cloud Migration Services by location
Where cloud migration services engagements go wrong
The patterns we see most often when taking over from a previous provider.
Lift-and-shift without a cost model
Most VMs cost more in the cloud than on-prem if you simply mirror sizing. Right-sizing, reserved capacity and storage tier choices are where savings live.
No infrastructure-as-code
If your cloud environment was built by clicking, it cannot be reliably rebuilt. Terraform from day one prevents the next 3am incident from becoming a 3-day rebuild.
Forgetting identity, DNS and egress
These three quietly break migrations. Plan Entra ID/AD integration, DNS cutover and data egress costs before you move the first workload.
Migrating backups and monitoring last
If a workload goes live without backup and observability, it is not really live. These belong in the first migration wave, not the cleanup wave.
What the first month looks like
A typical cloud migration services rollout, phase by phase.
Discovery & TCO
Inventory workloads, map dependencies, model 3-year total cost of ownership for Azure vs AWS vs stay-on-prem.
Landing zone
Build the target Azure or AWS environment in Terraform: networking, identity, logging, backup, guardrails, Canadian region.
Wave-based migration
Migrate in small waves (dev, then non-critical, then critical) with documented runbooks and rollback per workload.
Optimize & operate
Right-size, apply reservations/savings plans, tune backups, hand over IaC and runbooks, set up monthly cost reviews.
