Where cloud strategy & migration creates value
- 01
No surprise dependencies
The assessment maps servers, databases and integrations before anything moves—including undocumented connections discovered in the live estate.
- 02
Cutovers you can call off
Every wave has a hard go/no-go gate, a named decision owner and a rollback rehearsed against a copy of your data.
- 03
Costs reviewed after the move
A 30- and 90-day cost review identifies over-provisioning and usage assumptions that should be corrected after production demand becomes visible.
Scope
What the engagement covers
- 01Dependency mapping across servers, databases and integrations, including connections discovered during assessment.
- 02Target architecture with costed options for Azure, AWS or a hybrid estate.
- 03Migration waves sequenced by risk, each with a tested rollback path.
- 04Cutovers run outside business hours, with your team on the bridge call.
- 05Post-migration cost review at 30 and 90 days to compare the design assumptions with observed demand.
What you keep
On the table when we leave
- Dependency map of the estate as it actually is
- Target architecture with costed Azure/AWS/hybrid options
- Wave-by-wave migration schedule with rollback plans
- Post-migration cost review at 30 and 90 days
How it runs
Four stages, each gated
- 01Assess1–2 weeks
- 02Design2–4 weeks
- 03DeliverScoped per project
- 04OperateOngoing
Every stage ends in a written deliverable that gates the next — the full method is on our approach.
Questions
What buyers ask us
How long does a migration take?
The assessment gives you a wave-by-wave schedule. Small estates move in weeks; a multi-country estate is sequenced over months so no single cutover carries the whole risk.
What happens if a cutover fails?
Every wave has a rehearsed rollback with a named decision owner and a hard go/no-go gate before traffic moves. Rolling back is a planned path, not an emergency.
Azure or AWS?
Whichever the workload economics say. The target-architecture report prices both against your actual usage, and hybrid is often the honest answer for regulated data.
Start with a scoped technical assessment
One to two weeks, fixed scope and a written findings report you keep whether or not Prime Alley delivers the work that follows.
