Learn more about the top three ways our Cloud Migration services can help you
Lift and Shift
Lift and shift is a migration strategy where applications are moved from on-premises servers to the cloud with minimal changes to the application architecture. It is a fast and cost-effective way to migrate applications with reduced downtime and risk.
Lift, Tinker and Shift
In this variation of the “Lift and Shift” migration strategy, applications are first lifted and shifted to the Cloud, then optimized (or “tinkered” to make them more cloud-native) for the Cloud environment to improve performance and reduce costs.
Cloud-Native Migration
This strategy replaces the functionality of legacy applications with Cloud-native features. We will work with you to define the different phases of migration and our proven methodology to achieve them.
