Cloud advisory and migration
Whether to move, what to move, and in what order — including the workloads that are cheaper and safer left exactly where they are.
When this is the right assessment
- A cloud bill nobody can account for, rising faster than usage.
- A migration was started and stalled part-way, leaving systems in both places.
- A hardware refresh is due and nobody wants to commit to another five years of it.
What it covers
- Workload-by-workload assessment
- Migration approach and risks
- Cost modelling before you commit
What you will know afterwards
A workload-by-workload decision: move, re-architect, or leave alone.
A cost model you can take to finance before anything is committed.
A migration order that puts the reversible things first.
Questions we get asked
- Do you always recommend moving?
- No. Some workloads are cheaper and safer where they are, and saying so is part of the job.
- Which provider will you choose?
- The assessment chooses it, from the workloads and your data residency requirements. We do not arrive with a preference.
- Can you run the migration as well?
- Yes, as a service. The assessment stands on its own either way.

Advisory work sits under our Information Technology Consultants licence. Building what an assessment recommends sits under Services, and keeping it healthy afterwards under Application Support.
