Application Migration · Migration services

We don't know what will break when we move our applications.

For CIO, head of applications, IT operations, business application owners

Talk to us about thisHow it works
First, you receiveAssessApplication dependency matrix · Application profiles and tiering · Move grouping recommendation
Timing and scopeAssess is fixed fee; Plan is fixed scope with milestones; Execute is scoped per move event. Each step stands on its own.
What happens nextA written recommendation. If you proceed, a scoped proposal for the next stage.

Applications rarely move alone. We map every application's databases, data feeds, batch jobs, security and vendor dependencies through a survey of each owner and short profiling sessions, then sequence move groups by dependency with test, user acceptance and rollback plans. We run platform and managed-environment migrations, validate with your business owners and support you after the move, leaving repeatable runbooks that speed future support and change.

How we work

What we do

Open a step to see what happens and what you receive.

Assess
  • Application dependency mapping survey for every owner
  • Profiling: databases, feeds, batch jobs, security and vendors
  • Migration strategy for each application

You receive: Application dependency matrix; application profiles and tiering; move grouping recommendation.

Plan
  • Move groups and sequencing by dependency
  • Test, user acceptance and rollback plans
  • Vendor recertification and support plans

You receive: Application migration runbooks; test and validation plans; communication and escalation plan.

Execute
  • Platform and managed-environment migrations
  • Validation and user acceptance with business owners
  • Post-move support and issue resolution

You receive: Migrated, validated applications; repeatable installation runbooks; lessons learned.

Outcomes

What you can expect

  • Applications moved with their dependencies intactImplementation
  • Business owners involved and confident in testingImplementation
  • Single points of failure and gaps identifiedAssessment
  • Documentation that speeds future support and changeImplementation

Each outcome is labelled with the stage that delivers it. An assessment or advisory engagement on its own does not include the implementation work.

Good to know

Questions leaders ask

We already run a discovery tool. Why also a survey and workshops?

The tool data is valuable and we use it. What it can't tell you is business priority, maintenance windows, vendor support terms, or the job that only runs at month end. The survey and short workshops with each application owner fill those gaps, and we reconcile the two into one dependency matrix.

How do you decide what moves together?

Systems that depend on each other closely, for example an application, its database and its integration feeds, go in the same move group. Groups are then sequenced by criticality and risk, usually starting with a lower-risk group as a proof of concept.

Why it matters nowThe numbers behind this
23%of impactful outages in 2024 were IT and networking issues, a rise linked to growing complexity, change management and misconfiguration (Source: Uptime Institute, Annual Outage Analysis 2025)
85%of human-error outages stem from staff failing to follow procedures, or from flaws in the processes and procedures themselves (Source: Uptime Institute, Annual Outage Analysis 2025)
