Cloud Strategy & Migration (Azure, AWS, GCP)

The right cloud. The right way.

Cloud decisions shape the next decade of your technology estate. AIM builds strategy-first migrations: platform selection grounded in TCO, secure landing zones, and wave-planned execution with zero-downtime cutovers.

Cloud Strategy & Migration (Azure, AWS, GCP)
What we deliver

Strategy first. Migration second.

01

Cloud Strategy

  • Platform selection and fit analysis
  • Landing zone architecture
  • TCO modelling and business case
  • Cloud operating model design
02

Migration Planning

  • Portfolio assessment and discovery
  • 6R disposition per workload
  • Wave planning and sequencing
  • Risk, rollback, and cutover design
03

Migration Execution

  • Pilot-first migration factory
  • Automated tooling and validation
  • Rehearsed, boring cutovers
  • Hypercare and stabilization
Why AIM

Migrations without leaps of faith.

Strategy before servers

Platform and architecture decisions made on evidence and economics - not vendor incentives.

Platform-neutral advice

Deep delivery experience across Azure, AWS, and GCP means the recommendation fits you.

Security-first landing zones

Identity, network, and policy baselines built before the first workload lands.

Measured at every wave

Success metrics per wave - performance, cost, and stability proven before the next begins.

Three paths to the cloud

The right migration path for every workload.

Rehosting (Lift & Shift)

Move applications to the cloud with minimal changes. Ideal for quick migrations with tight timelines, reducing data centre costs immediately while preserving the existing architecture.

Refactoring

Re-architect applications to take advantage of cloud-native features, optimizing code for scalability, performance, and cost efficiency. Best for applications with a long-term cloud future.

Replatforming

Make targeted optimizations during migration, such as moving to managed databases or containerizing workloads, without a full rewrite. The sweet spot between speed and modernization.

Our approach

A battle-tested, six-phase methodology.

1

Discovery

Inventory all applications, dependencies, and infrastructure components.

2

Assessment

Evaluate each workload for cloud readiness, risk, and migration path.

3

Planning

Design target architecture, select cloud provider, and build migration waves.

4

Migration

Execute phased migration with rollback plans and zero-downtime strategies.

5

Validation

Test performance, security, and compliance in the new environment.

6

Optimization

Right-size resources, implement cost controls, and fine-tune performance.
