Cloud Transformations

Our approach

Based on an exhaustive assessment of the application landscape of our client, we will advise a transformation strategy per application. This strategy will be translated into a transformation plan, that also addresses switch-over and data migration. This plan is aimed to ensure business continuity and create a communion understanding of the work at hand for all stakeholders. Execution will start after formal approval of the plan.

We will leave you with all the knowledge and tools you need to support operations once the migration has been completed.

Transformation strategies

In choosing the right strategy per application, we work with our own 4R-Model, resulting in one out of the following options per application

1.Rebuild or Refactor

Sometimes existing application can be optimized so that it can take the full benefit of Cloud specific features. In the most extreme case, a total rebuild may be considered.

2.Repurchase

Generic applications that do not contain too much business specific functionality, may be replaced by standard solutions, quite often offered by SaaS providers.

3.Rehost or Replatform

Basic applications may simply be redeployed to a public or private cloud. In some cases minor changes are needed due to a platform switch.

4. Retain or Retire

If there is no valid business case for a cloud migration, application may just be retained or switched-of.
