Migrate and build

Cloud migration services for seamless system transition

Migrate and build

Reduce disruption. Accelerate value. Modernise with confidence.

How we help

Strategic transformation, designed for resilience

Best practice transformation starts with modernisation. Whether you’re replatforming, re-architecting, or migrating at scale, we help you build the foundation for sustainable cloud adoption.

Our teams engineer cloud-ready and cloud-native solutions that support operational resilience, future scalability, and more intelligent cost structures so your business can adapt faster, deliver stronger, and move forward with confidence.

Why it works

Assess your current state

Gain a clearer view of your current landscape, technical and organisational, to build a migration strategy that’s aligned to your goals, timelines and readiness for change.

Mobilise for cloud

Put the right foundations in place from the start. Enterprise-grade Landing Zones, robust security and operational governance set you up for long-term success.

Migrate with confidence

Move at speed without compromising control. Migration Acceleration Frameworks, automation tooling, and tailored support reduce complexity and deliver optimised, scalable platforms.

Minimised disruption

Keep business running while transformation happens in the background. Smart routing and phased cutover ensure zero disruption to users, with full validation before decommissioning.

Benefits

The business value of smart migration

Operational resilience

Enterprise-grade migration strategies that prioritise uptime, security, and stability – ensuring your business remains protected during and after transformation.

Business agility

Modern platforms unlock faster deployments, flexible resource allocation, and scalable operations so you can respond quickly to market shifts.

Total cost of ownership

Optimised infrastructure and improved resource utilisation help reduce cloud spend without compromising performance.

Peace of mind

With a proven migration process, experienced teams, and governance aligned to best practices, you’re in safe hands – every step of the way.

Our Approach

Expert cloud services on AWS and Azure

Whether you’re migrating an entire estate or moving only the workloads that deliver the greatest impact, we help you modernise with confidence. Our approach blends detailed assessment, clear planning and carefully phased cutovers to minimise disruption while strengthening long-term resilience. By moving the right workloads to the cloud — not just the obvious ones — you unlock faster experimentation, richer analytics and the ability to support AI-driven capabilities that legacy platforms simply can’t sustain. The result is a flexible, future-ready environment that reduces cost, improves performance and positions your organisation to evolve at pace.

Cloud-native platforms give you the foundation to move quickly, scale intelligently and innovate with far less friction. We design and build modern platforms that streamline delivery, reduce operational overhead and make it easier to introduce new features without compromising stability. With stronger data foundations, consistent architectures and automated tooling, your teams gain the ability to support modern workloads, from real-time analytics to AI-powered experiences, without costly rework later. It’s about creating the technical runway for what your business needs today, and what it wants to achieve next.

To support selective cloud adoption, you need engineering foundations that work across both on-prem and cloud environments. Our platform engineering and DevOps capabilities give you consistent automation, reliable pipelines, and standardised deployment practices that reduce release friction and improve quality. This hybrid-ready approach ensures that every workload you modernise becomes easier to operate, quicker to release, and positioned to take advantage of new AI-driven tooling.

Strong cloud foundations ensure teams can build, run and govern environments with confidence. We establish secure landing zones, automated guardrails, observability, FinOps practices and governance models that give you full visibility, better cost control and the reassurance that your cloud aligns with regulatory and business priorities. These foundations also make advanced capabilities possible: with the right controls, standardisation and data access in place, you can safely adopt AI, automation and next-generation analytics at your own pace. It’s the backbone that keeps your cloud resilient, compliant and ready for continuous improvement.

Run applications reliably and cost-effectively with elastic compute suited to each workload. Virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes and serverless options provide the scalability, performance, and efficiency needed to support modern systems and high-growth demands.

Create a seamless ecosystem across cloud and on-prem environments. Secure networking, connectivity and API integration ensure data and systems flow effortlessly, enabling consistent operations and reducing the complexity of hybrid estates.

Build a strong, scalable data foundation for analytics, AI, and everyday operations. Modern database platforms improve performance, enhance resilience, and provide the structure needed to unlock insights and accelerate innovation.

Accelerate delivery with automated build, test and deployment pipelines. Integrated CI/CD and Infrastructure-as-Code practices bring consistency, speed and reliability to releases, reducing rework and improving collaboration across teams.

Maintain reliable, high-performing systems through real-time visibility across infrastructure and applications. Intelligent monitoring and alerting surface issues early, reduce downtime, and keep critical services running smoothly.

Protect applications, data and identities with secure-by-design controls and continuous governance. Embedded security practices strengthen resilience, support compliance requirements and reduce risk across hybrid and cloud-native environments.

Scale securely with storage options designed for durability, performance and efficiency. Whether supporting mission-critical workloads or long-term data growth, resilient storage architectures keep information available, protected and cost-optimised.
