Cloud & Modernisation
Move ageing systems to the cloud, or modernise what you run, without disrupting the business.
The problem
Ageing servers, unsupported software and manual deployments slow teams down and add risk. Yet migration projects can feel daunting: unclear costs, fear of downtime and worry about what might break.
Moving to the cloud without a plan can also simply relocate the problem, and the bill.
What we deliver
- Cloud readiness assessment covering applications, data, dependencies, security and cost
- Migration planning with a clear sequence, rollback options and downtime windows
- Landing zone and platform setup on Microsoft Azure or AWS
- Application and database modernisation, from rehosting to re-platforming
- Infrastructure as code and automated deployment
- Cost and performance optimisation for existing cloud estates
We work primarily with Microsoft Azure and AWS, using infrastructure-as-code and automated pipelines so environments are repeatable and auditable.
How an engagement works
01
Assess
We inventory what you run, how it connects and what it costs today.
02
Plan
We group workloads into migration waves with clear risks, costs and rollback steps.
03
Migrate
We move and test each wave, keeping the business running throughout.
04
Optimise
We tune cost, performance and security, then hand over operations.
Illustrative scenario
Retiring an end-of-life server room
A business runs its finance and reporting tools on servers that are out of support and backed up manually.
ProductDoc would assess each workload, recommend which to rehost, modernise or retire, and migrate in waves with tested rollback. The server room is decommissioned with backups, monitoring and access controls in place from day one.
This is an illustrative example of how an engagement could run, not a description of a specific client.
Frequently asked questions
Will there be downtime?
We plan migrations to keep disruption to a minimum, usually using agreed out-of-hours windows and tested rollback steps.
How do you control cloud costs?
We estimate costs before migrating, set budgets and alerts, and right-size resources once workloads are running.
Azure or AWS?
Both are capable. We recommend based on your existing licences, skills and requirements.
