AWS Cloud Migration
with Modernization
Move beyond on-premises IT infrastructure, harnessing the power of scalable, agile, and cost-efficient public cloud solutions.
What is Cloud Migration?
Cloud migration is the process of moving your business systems, applications, and data from traditional on-premises data centers to cloud platforms like AWS. It enables businesses to achieve greater flexibility, cost-efficiency, scalability, and improved security and performance.
There are different migration approaches, such as simple lift-and-shift, re-platforming to utilize cloud-native features, or fully re-architecting applications to maximize the cloud’s capabilities.
Use Cases
Migrating to the cloud isn’t just about moving data—it’s about unlocking new opportunities for growth, cost savings, and innovation. Here are some compelling reasons to make the move:
Digital Transformation
Modernize legacy applications and infrastructure to support new business models, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation.
Global Expansion
Leverage Public Cloud’s global network to support rapid international growth, ensuring consistent performance and availability worldwide.
Cost Reduction
Leverage dynamic scaling and on-demand pricing models to reduce IT costs by up to 20% while maintaining performance and flexibility.
Security Resilience
Enhance security, compliance, and disaster recovery capabilities by migrating to AWS, ensuring business continuity.
AI and Machine Learning
Integrate advanced AI and ML capabilities into your infrastructure, driving next-gen innovation and data-driven insights.
Faster time-to-market
Achieve up to 43% faster time-to-market for new applications and features by leveraging cloud-native automation and CI/CD pipelines.
The Migration Journey
Assessment & Planning
In this stage, we conduct a portfolio discovery, migration readiness assessment (MRA), and perform a TCO analysis. We evaluate your existing environment and build a security and risk framework. The goal is to create a detailed business case for migration and define the overall strategy.
Migration Strategy Development
Once the assessment is complete, we work with you to design the migration plan, selecting workloads and preparing a strategy for mobilizing them. This stage often includes conducting proofs of concept (POCs) to validate against business use cases. We ensure minimal disruption through phased execution.
Migration Execution
The migration is executed in waves or sprints, ensuring business continuity throughout the process. We prioritize secure data transfer, re-hosting or re-platforming, and cloud infrastructure setup. This phased approach ensures stability and risk management during the process.
Optimization & Modernization
Not all workloads require modernization, but for those that do, we focus on re-architecting and optimizing them to leverage cloud-native features like serverless, containers, or managed databases. This step improves cost efficiency, scalability, and performance.
Support & Maintenance
Post-migration, we provide continuous support and monitoring. We ensure that your environment remains optimized as your business evolves and maintain proactive management to avoid disruptions.
Modernization Pathways: Tailoring Your Journey
Modernization is an integral part of the migration journey. Depending on your workloads and business objectives, there are several pathways you can take to modernize your infrastructure on AWS.
-
Move to Cloud-Native
-
Move to Containers
-
Move to Managed Databases
-
Move to Open Source

Move to Modern DevOps
Rearchitect your applications using microservices and cloud-native technologies like serverless computing, DynamoDB, and autoscaling. This shift includes adopting purpose-built chipsets like AWS Graviton, delivering better price-performance and reducing energy consumption. Moving to cloud-native architectures ensures agility and scalability in your infrastructure.
39%* reduction in IT spend after adopting Serverless.
Replatform your applications by containerizing them, enabling seamless scalability and operational efficiency on the cloud. Containers facilitate automation, self-service blueprints, and streamlined platform engineering. They support rapid deployment, simplified updates, and easier infrastructure management with cloud-based container orchestration.
28%* revenue growth after adopting containers
Shift to managed cloud services like Amazon RDS and Aurora to minimize the operational complexity of database management. Managed databases offer enhanced security, automated backups, and scaling, ensuring consistent availability and reliability. This pathway reduces the need for manual database management.
13%* reduction in time to resolve security
incidents
Transition to open-source technologies, operating systems, and databases to eliminate proprietary licensing costs. Migrate from Windows to Linux, .NET to .NET Core, or MS SQL to MySQL, breaking free from costly licenses while leveraging highly scalable, community-driven software solutions.
Upto 70%* reduction in licensing costs
Adopt modern DevOps practices that extend beyond CI/CD automation. Incorporate infrastructure automation (IaC), advanced release management, performance testing, and security integration throughout the development lifecycle. This ensures faster deployments, fewer release failures, and robust deployment strategies like blue-green or canary releases.
