Cloud & Modernization
Cloud & Modernization
Environments, pipelines and legacy systems moved to something your team can operate and reason about.
Cloud modernization replaces fragile infrastructure and release paths with repeatable environments, coded controls and a deployment route that can be inspected before production changes.
SUB SERVICES
Work inside this line
Cloud & Modernization contains 3 sub services: Cloud and DevOps, Legacy modernization and Integrations and data. Deliverables: Reconciliation reporting under Integrations and data.
Cloud and DevOps
Accounts, environments, infrastructure as code and a deploy path that behaves the same every time.
Legacy modernization
A route off the system nobody wants to touch, taken in increments rather than a rewrite.
Integrations and data
Systems connected with an event schema, idempotency, retries and reconciliation that actually reconciles.
HOW WE WORK
A bounded path into production
Above: what you hold after the stage. Below: what you supply.
Stage 1, Map the estate: you supply environment list and service owners; you hold estate map. We record environments, dependencies, release paths and the owners of each production service. Stage 2, Compare the environments: you supply configuration and deploy history; you hold parity gaps by environment. We identify configuration, data and deployment differences that make releases hard to predict. Stage 3, Set the target controls: you supply agreed checks and rollback rules; you hold target control definition. We agree the infrastructure definitions, checks, observability and rollback conditions for one path. Stage 4, Move one increment: you supply access to all three environments; you hold one tested change in production. We build and test one bounded change through development, staging and production. Stage 5, Hand over operation: you supply a platform owner to receive it; you hold code, pipeline and runbook. Your platform owner receives the code, pipeline, decisions and operating runbook.

WHAT YOU GET
Concrete items your team can hold
- Estate map
- Systems, dependencies, environments and owners in one document.
- Coded baseline
- Infrastructure definitions and configuration controls for the selected path.
- Deployment pipeline
- A tested route with checks, approvals and rollback conditions.
- Operating runbook
- Release, observation, recovery and ownership instructions.
See these items in a worked example of cloud, written as method rather than a client story.
OUR STACK
Tools we use for this work
We work with the cloud account, infrastructure language, source control and deployment platform already in use where they can support the target controls.
Typical work includes infrastructure as code, build runners, deployment policies, secret stores, logs, metrics and traces.
Where an existing stack is in place, we work inside it.
FAQ
Cloud modernization questions
No. We sequence bounded changes around dependencies and operating risk.
Make the deploy path inspectable
Bring the environment map, release process and current constraints. We will identify the first bounded change.
