Cloud Migration & Landing Zones
A migration succeeds or fails on its foundations: which accounts, which boundaries, which guardrails, and how each service moves without taking the business down. We design the landing zone as a governance instrument, define it entirely as code, then move workloads across one at a time while production keeps serving.

Who it is for
Organisations moving from on-premises or legacy hosting to the cloud, and those whose existing cloud estate has grown without a design.
What is included
- Target architecture and migration plan, workload by workload
- A multi-account landing zone with identity, guardrails, logging and network boundaries, defined as code
- Single sign-on for every team
- Security, policy and cost controls built into the foundation
- Service-by-service migration with rollback plans and zero-downtime data patterns where they are needed
- Decommissioning of what is left behind
What you get
- A landing zone reproducible from version control
- Workloads migrated and running in the target estate
- Runbooks and architecture records for your team
