Application Migration & Development
Staying competitive requires businesses to modernise their IT systems. Application migration services help businesses seamlessly transition software applications to the cloud or other modern environments. Successful application migration transforms how your business operates, improving efficiency, scalability, and cost savings with minimal disruption.
What is Application Migration?
Application migration is the process of moving software applications from one computing environment to another. This could include:
-
Migrating applications from an on-premises data centre to a cloud environment.
-
Shifting enterprise applications between cloud providers like Microsoft Azure or AWS Migration Hub.
-
Moving applications from a public cloud to a private cloud or adopting a hybrid cloud approach.
-
Upgrading or replacing legacy applications to integrate with modern operating systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between "lift and shift" and rearchitecting applications during migration?
“Lift and shift” involves moving applications to a new environment with minimal changes, primarily to reduce cost or take advantage of cloud infrastructure. Rearchitecting involves redesigning the application to leverage advanced cloud features, improve scalability, or integrate with modern systems, which can deliver more significant long-term benefits.
How long does an application migration project take?
The timeline for an application migration project depends on the size and complexity of your application portfolio, the migration strategy chosen, and the readiness of your existing infrastructure. Small-scale migrations can take a few weeks, while larger, more complex projects may span several months.
Will there be downtime during the migration process?
We aim to minimise disruption by carefully planning and executing the migration in phases. For mission-critical applications, we implement strategies such as live migration or migration during off-peak hours to ensure business continuity.
How do you ensure the security of our data during migration?
Data security is our top priority. We use industry best practices, including encryption, secure transfer protocols, and compliance with relevant regulations, to protect your data throughout the migration process.
Can you help with licensing requirements during application migration?
Yes, we provide guidance on managing software licenses to ensure compliance and minimise additional costs. Our experts will help you review existing licenses and identify opportunities for optimisation.
Do you provide ongoing support after the migration is complete?
Yes, we offer post-migration support to ensure your applications are performing optimally in the new environment. This includes monitoring, troubleshooting, and cost optimisation services to help you get the most value from your investment.
Can legacy applications be modernised during migration?
Absolutely. Legacy applications can be updated or rearchitected to align with modern operating systems and leverage new technologies such as AI or machine learning. This ensures they remain relevant and efficient in the new environment.
Is it possible to migrate only certain applications and keep others on-premises?
Yes, we can tailor a hybrid approach, allowing you to migrate selected applications to the cloud while retaining others on-premises. This approach is particularly useful for businesses with specific regulatory or operational requirements.
How do you ensure compliance with industry regulations during migration?
Our team has extensive experience in working with regulated industries. We ensure that your migration adheres to all applicable regulations and standards, such as GDPR, ISO 27001, or specific industry requirements.
What cloud platforms do you support for application migration?
We support migration to leading cloud platforms, including Microsoft Azure, AWS, and hybrid cloud environments. Our team can also assist with shifting between providers if needed.
