Practice
Your cloud bill grew faster than your traffic.
Migration, architecture and cost. We move workloads without stopping the business, then take the running cost down far enough that the engagement tends to pay for itself.
- AWS
- Azure
- GCP
- Terraform
- Kubernetes
- FinOps
- ISO 27001 controls
What we hear
The conversations that bring people here.
Nobody can tell me which line of the bill belongs to which team.
CIO
We lifted and shifted three years ago, and we’ve been paying for it every month since.
Head of Infrastructure
The migration plan has been in discovery for two quarters.
IT Director
What we do
Four things, done properly.
Consulting & architecture
Target architecture, landing zone and a migration sequence ordered by risk and by what it saves — not by what is easiest to move first.
More on this →MoveMigration
Re-hosting where that’s enough and re-platforming where it isn’t, run in phases with parallel running and a rollback at every step.
More on this →SecureSecurity & compliance
Identity, network boundaries, secrets and audit evidence built in as the estate moves, under ISO 27001 controls.
More on this →RunManaged services & FinOps
Ongoing operation, cost attribution per team and per workload, and the reporting that keeps the savings from quietly reversing.
More on this →What’s different now
Where AI-assisted delivery actually changes this practice.
Specific to this work, not a paragraph repeated across every page.
Days, not a discovery phase
Reading an existing estate — code, configuration, dependencies — was the slow, expensive part of every cloud engagement. That is precisely the part that changed.
The application moves, not just the server
Re-expressing legacy application code used to be priced out of most migrations, which is why so many became lift-and-shift. It now fits inside a normal budget.
Landing zone, IaC and runbooks together
The environment, the code that recreates it and the documentation for operating it are produced in parallel rather than sequentially.
Certifications and competencies
Credentials, not claims.
Held by engineers on the delivery team rather than by the company in the abstract. Ask us which certified engineers are on your engagement and we will name them before you sign anything.

Selected work
What changed, in the client’s terms.
Three recent engagements from this practice.
Infrastructure that could keep up with the growth
The platform was growing quickly and scaling by adding instances, because that was the lever available. The Kubernetes estate had grown with it rather than being designed for it. Read the case study→ Healthcare · Platform replacementReplacing an EHR without pausing care
The legacy EHR was rigid, slow and poorly interoperable. Placing an order took seven or more clicks, transcription was done by hand, and every workflow carried an accumulated workaround on top of it. Read the case study→ Identity management · ContainersCore applications made portable
Core components were tied to the machines they ran on. Scaling meant provisioning, deployments were single events against single environments, and recovery from a bad one meant rebuilding by hand. Read the case study→A two-week paid pilot
Fixed price, on a real piece of your backlog. You keep the output whether or not you continue.
In this practice
Four ways we are brought in.
Consulting & architecture
Target architecture, sequencing and the cost model behind it.
