From Legacy to Cloud-Native: Fast, Secure, and Cost-Optimized Migration

Accelerate your cloud journey with secure, cost-optimized migration from legacy systems to modern cloud platforms.

Accelerate your digital transformation by migrating workloads and databases to the cloud with minimal disruption.

Our Cloud Migration service supports everything from VMware-to-AWS/Azure transitions to legacy database modernization—delivering secure, scalable, and cost-efficient solutions tailored to your business needs.

Use Case | Telco

A leading telecommunications provider with a strong footprint in IoT, delivering real-time data services to over 120 million connected devices across healthcare, automotive, public sector, and other industries.

The challenge:

A costly, inflexible Oracle-based stack couldn’t keep pace with rising IoT data volumes and global growth. Batch pipelines delayed insights, and fragmented integrations created inefficiencies. The goal was to move to a scalable, real-time, cloud-native platform.

Our approach:

Serverless AWS Re-Architecture
Migrated ingestion, processing, analytics, and reporting to AWS-native services, including Kinesis, S3, Glue, EMR, Redshift, and QuickSight.
Decoupled Microservices
Designed Lambda, SQS, and DynamoDB-powered workflows for asynchronous publishing and scalable reporting APIs.
Automated Delivery
Implemented Terraform and CodePipeline for IaC and CI/CD, ensuring rapid, consistent deployments.

The results:

Cost Efficiency
Eliminated overprovisioning and licensing overhead through a pay-per-use, auto-scaling AWS model.
Faster Time-to-Insight
Enabled near real-time analytics, accelerating decision-making across IoT operations.
Scalable Global Platform
Ready to onboard new clients and data sources in any AWS region without disruption.

Use Case | Pharma

A global pharmaceutical leader operating across Europe, the US, and Asia under strict GMP/GPx compliance. As part of the AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP), the company aimed to modernize legacy systems, cut costs, and meet regulatory mandates such as DORA and NIS2.

The challenge:

Legacy VMware infrastructure drove high costs and limited scalability. Compliance requirements — including GMP vs non-GMP workload separation — restricted modernization. The migration needed to ensure full traceability, minimal downtime, and validated deployments per wave.

Our approach:

AWS MAP Planning
Performed readiness assessment, TCO analysis, and wave migration planning.
Wave-Based EC2 Migration
Deployed initial workloads in non-GMP accounts with hardened security, dual-AZ, and secure connectivity.
Infrastructure-as-Code
Used Terraform and CloudFormation for consistent, reusable deployments.

The results:

Compliance-Ready Cloud Landing Zone
Successfully validated the first migration wave under governance-aligned landing zone controls.
>30% TCO Reduction
Achieved savings through EC2 rightsizing, pay-as-you-go pricing, and optimized storage policies.
Scalable Foundation for Future Waves
Established secure, validated patterns for upcoming GMP application migrations.

Use Case | Telco

A global telecommunications leader delivering mobile, broadband, and TV services across Europe. While pursuing a hybrid cloud strategy, the company sought to retain VMware investments while improving scalability, efficiency, and resilience.

The challenge:

On-premises VMware infrastructure drove high costs, limited scalability, and complicated disaster recovery. The goal was to modernize with a hybrid approach that reduced costs and improved agility.

Our approach:

Hybrid Cloud Extension
Used Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS) to extend workloads to AWS while maintaining VMware compatibility.
Infrastructure-as-Code
-Driven Scaling
Deployed Terraform and AWS-native automation for standardized, faster provisioning.
Cost Optimization
Applied reserved instances, usage-based scaling, and automated shutdown policies.

The results:

25% Lower Infrastructure Costs
Reduced expenses in hardware, licensing, and energy consumption.
Enhanced Resilience & DR
Enabled geo-redundant backups, automated recovery testing, and integrated failover.
Accelerated Deployment
Cut workload provisioning from days to hours through automated templates and streamlined processes.

Use Case | Media

A leading media broadcasting group running a centralized platform for ingesting, processing, and distributing video ads across TV operators, live broadcasts, and digital channels.

The challenge:

An aging VMware-based system with physical encoders and manual workflows caused delays, failures, and scaling limits. The organization needed a cloud-native solution to handle high volumes, multiple formats, and operator-specific delivery with full traceability.

Our approach:

Serverless AWS Architecture
Built on Lambda, API Gateway, MediaConvert, S3, and Step Functions to automate scaling and remove infrastructure overhead.
Automated Ingest & QA
Secure SFTP uploads, metadata extraction, and quality checks from ingest to distribution.
Multi-Tenant Delivery
Operator-specific encoding profiles and rules with real-time notifications.

The results:

End-to-End Reliability
Achieved SLA of <4 hours from ingest to delivery for 3,500+ videos annually, with full traceability and proactive error detection.
Elastic & Cost-Efficient
100% serverless, pay-as-you-go model reduced operational costs while scaling seamlessly with demand.
Operator-Ready Delivery
Standardized encoding and distribution per operator, ensuring compliance and consistent performance.
