MAP Assess
Our AWS experts conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your current IT landscape, including applications, infrastructure, and processes. This assessment identifies dependencies, potential risks, and opportunities for optimisation, providing a clear roadmap for your cloud journey. Embrace the cloud's potential with confidence. Partner with us to achieve your business goals through a seamless and efficient cloud migration and modernisation process.
Discovery & Assessment: We'll conduct a thorough evaluation of your IT landscape, covering infrastructure, applications, and processes.
TCO Analysis: We'll provide a clear breakdown of your on-premises vs. AWS costs, revealing potential savings.
Migration Path Assessment: We'll create a tailored migration plan, including timelines, strategies, and risk mitigation approaches and possible target architecture in AWS.
Business Case Development: We'll build a compelling case for cloud migration, showcasing the ROI and benefits.
Statement of Work: We'll craft a detailed plan for your cloud journey, outlining migration phases, efforts and timeline.
MAP Mobilise
In the MAP Mobilise phase, we collaborate to define a precise and comprehensive migration and modernisation strategy. This includes identifying the optimal approach for each application, whether it's re-hosting, re-platforming, or re-architecting to leverage cloud-native features. We then meticulously prepare your AWS environment, including setting up the necessary infrastructure and establishing an effective operating model to seamlessly manage your modernised applications and data in the cloud.
Detailed Migration Planning: We'll craft a comprehensive plan for your cloud migration, outlining sequence, timelines, initial Landing Zone design, and resource allocation for moving workloads to AWS.
Workload Identification for Testing & Validation: We'll assess & identify key workloads to test and refine your migration strategy, minimising risks and ensuring a smooth transition to AWS.
Preparing your AWS environment: We'll build a secure and scalable landing zone foundation in AWS, equipped with the necessary networking, security, and governance controls for your workloads.
Migrate & Modernise Pilot Workloads: We'll implement pilot workloads in AWS and assess the migration process in relation to migration plan.
MAP Migrate
In the MAP Migrate phase, we execute the carefully crafted migration plan and bring your operating model to life. This involves transferring your workloads to AWS, while simultaneously adapting and modernising your applications to thrive in their new cloud environment. We ensure a seamless transition, optimising your applications to fully harness the power and flexibility of the AWS cloud.
Workload Migration: We'll seamlessly migrate your applications, data, and infrastructure to AWS, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption.
Operational Excellence: We'll implement robust monitoring, logging, and incident management processes, ensuring your cloud environment operates at peak performance and reliability.
Customer Enablement: We'll create a transition plan and knowledge transfer session to equip your team with the knowledge and skillls they need to thrive with your new environment.
Cost Optimisation: We'll implement a proactive cost management strategy to maximise your cloud investment and ensure ongoing efficiency.

Recent changes have significantly increased VMWare licensing costs. For many companies, keeping infrastructure 'as is' is no longer the cheaper option. AWS offers funding programs for migrating VMWare workloads to their cloud platform ,which, together with avoiding the VMWare licensing increases, may make AWS the more cost effective option.
Assess current VMWare platform in relation to AWS funding programs
Analyse application workloads, & design AWS deployment options
Create a structured migration plan, based on organisational priorities (eg. cost saving, technical enhancement)
CLIENT Software Hub of an Automotive OEM
TOOLS AWS, Terraform Enterprise
As the automotive industry embraced digital transformation, the client’s legacy infrastructure-as-code workflow lacked flexibility, slowing innovation and creating complex, time-consuming processes. The need for agility, reliability, and security in cloud operations became essential to meet the demands of modern vehicles.
Improving the overall developer experience (DevEx) as well as minimising resource waste in the cloud.
Implemented a streamlined development workflow by migrating to Terraform Enterprise. In this competitive industry, this was a critical step to enable a short time-to-market.

TOOLS AWS, GitLab, Terraform Enterprise
The customer faced complex pipelines that led to errors and delays in the CI/CD process. Additionally, limited scalability and usability with Jenkins, rising maintenance costs, and increased security risks due to the manual management of sensitive data were major concerns.
The existing workflow, tools, and requirements were evaluated, leading to the selection of Terraform Enterprise. A vision, roadmap, and action plan were developed to ensure a smooth migration from the legacy system.
The implementation of Terraform Enterprise significantly improved the developer experience, enhanced team efficiency, and enabled faster feature releases without compromising quality.

TOOLS Lauterbach TRACE32, TESSY, Jira
The test coverage for a large codebase needed to be completed retrospectively, and the existing test tool urgently required an update, necessitating the re-import and adaptation of existing test cases. Additionally, the test management system and build server were not designed for a larger test team.
Updating the test tool and adapting the test environment, expanding test creation, and implementing tools for project management and collaboration.
Efficient quality assurance and streamlined processes through suitable tools and a seamlessly integrated, up-to-date test environment with automation support. Complete traceability and easy access to documentation and results enabled smooth collaboration between the development and test teams.
