Cloud migration

Cloud migration services that move your workloads without surprises

Netofficials delivers cloud migration services for B2B teams whose applications are costly, hard to scale or hard to maintain. One cross-functional engineering team scopes, moves and tests your systems, and can modernise the application where that pays off. Send a short brief and we will reply with a written discovery scope.

Delivery
One cross-functional team covering back-end, DevOps and QA runs your migration from India, with Agile sprints from written scope to deployment.
Contact
A named delivery lead owns day-to-day progress and keeps you informed, so you always know who to ask about cutover status.
Ownership
IP assignment is written into the contract before any migration or build work starts, so the code and configuration we produce are yours.
Reviews
Each sprint ends with a client-facing review, so you check migration progress against the written discovery scope.
What you get

From legacy hosting to a cloud setup you can run

Written migration scope

We start by mapping the applications, databases and integrations you want to move, then put the scope in writing. You see what moves, what stays and which open questions remain before anything is built. The estimate follows the number of systems, data volumes, integrations and how much downtime you can tolerate, so cost and risk are visible early.

Migrate, re-platform or modernise

Netofficials is a software engineering company, not a hosting reseller. Our architect compares a like-for-like move, re-platforming and modernising the application code, and recommends the route that pays off for your workload. If a lighter option fits you better, we say so after scoping, and you decide.

Staged cutover and handover

One cross-functional team covers back-end, DevOps and QA, led by a named delivery lead. Migration moves in staged milestones with QA checks and a client review at the end of every sprint. At release you receive documentation and deployment access, so your team can operate the environment without depending on us.

Who it suits

Cloud migration for systems that have outgrown their hosting

  • Applications on ageing servers or a data centre that cost too much to run or scale
  • Teams that need a lift-and-shift, re-platform or modernisation route, chosen after scoping
  • Companies that want a migration partner who can also build cloud applications

How a migration runs

How your migration runs, stage by stage

  1. Discover

    We inventory the applications, data, integrations and downtime tolerance you want to move, then write a discovery scope that sets out what migrates and in what order. You review the scope and the open questions it raises.

    You receive
    • Written discovery scope
    • Systems and data inventory
    • Estimate and cost drivers

    You approve the written migration scope

  2. Plan

    The technical architect sets the target architecture and decides, system by system, whether to migrate as-is, re-platform or modernise. You review the cutover approach and rollback steps, and the delivery lead agrees the communication window and update cadence with you.

    You receive
    • Target cloud architecture
    • Migration sequence plan
    • Rollback approach

    You sign off the target design and cutover plan

  3. Migrate

    The cross-functional team moves workloads and data in staged milestones, with DevOps and back-end engineers working alongside QA. You see the progress and the migrated environment at the review that closes each sprint.

    You receive
    • Migrated staging environment
    • Sprint review demos
    • Data migration test results

    You review at the end of every sprint

  4. Test

    QA checks the migrated systems against the acceptance criteria agreed in the scope, covering functionality, data integrity and integrations. You review the results and decide whether each system is ready for cutover.

    You receive
    • Migration acceptance checklist
    • QA test report
    • Open issue log

    You sign off the migrated workloads against the agreed checks

  5. Cutover

    Netofficials runs the production cutover in line with the downtime tolerance you agreed, then hands over documentation and deployment access. You review the cutover plan beforehand and confirm the environment works as expected.

    You receive
    • Production cutover
    • Operations documentation
    • Deployment access handover

    You approve the cutover and accept the handover

Decisions before estimates

What shapes your migration estimate

Systems, data and integrations

The number of applications and databases, the volume of data to move and the integrations that must keep working set most of the effort. We list each of these in the written discovery scope, so you see what drives the estimate before any commercial terms are agreed.

Downtime tolerance and cutover

A system that can pause overnight needs a different plan from one that must stay live. Tell us your acceptable downtime and we plan a staged cutover with QA checks. We also say whether moving as-is, re-platforming or modernising the application suits you better.

Operations, ownership and handover

Who runs the workloads after release shapes what we deliver. We agree the communication window and update cadence up front, and hand over documentation and deployment access at release. IP assignment is confirmed in the contract before the build begins.

Engagement models

Pick the migration engagement that fits

Project delivery

Fixed-price project delivery suits a migration with a clear set of systems to move and a date you want to work toward.

  • A written discovery scope sets which systems move, the cutover plan and the acceptance checks
  • A client-facing review at the end of every sprint, so you see each migration milestone before the next begins
  • Work outside the agreed scope, such as an extra system or integration, goes through a change request

Dedicated team

A dedicated India-based team suits staged migrations, or a migration followed by ongoing modernisation of the applications you move.

  • One cross-functional team of back-end, DevOps and QA engineers, with the migration approach agreed after scoping
  • Sprint reviews with your product owner as each migration wave moves toward production
  • IP assignment confirmed in the contract before the build begins, covering the migration scripts and infrastructure code we write

Staff augmentation

Staff augmentation suits an in-house team that needs extra DevOps or back-end engineers to carry a migration it already leads.

  • A DevOps or back-end engineer added to your team to carry a migration workstream or fill a cloud skills gap
  • Engineers work in your repositories, ticketing and deployment pipelines, so nothing new has to be adopted
  • Communication window, meeting schedule and update cadence settled with you before the first day of work
Technology around the migration

The cloud stack follows your workloads

Netofficials confirms the target cloud setup in the written discovery scope, based on what your workloads need, the systems they connect to and who will run them after cutover. Our technical architect is accountable for technology selection and design, so you get a stack your team can operate rather than one chosen for novelty. We do not state a cloud provider before scoping. If another approach would serve you better, we will recommend it once the scope is written.

Before you enquire

Cloud migration questions, answered

What drives the cost and timeline of a cloud migration?

Cost and timeline follow the number of systems you move, the volume of data, the integrations that must keep working, and how much downtime you can tolerate. Whether each application is moved as-is, re-platformed or modernised matters too. We set these out in a written discovery scope before delivery starts, so you see the assumptions behind the estimate. Send a short brief and we will tell you which factors weigh most in your case.

How do you reduce the risk of moving live applications?

We reduce risk by splitting the migration into staged milestones, running QA checks on each one and holding a client-facing review at the end of every sprint. Cutover is planned with you around your downtime tolerance rather than decided at the last minute. A named delivery lead owns day-to-day progress, and a technical architect is accountable for system design and code quality.

Who owns the code and the cloud environment afterwards?

You do. IP assignment is confirmed in the contract before the build begins, so migration scripts, infrastructure code and any application changes belong to you. At release we hand over documentation and deployment access, so your team can operate the environment. We also agree the communication window and update cadence with you before work starts.

Plan your cloud migration with us

Send a short brief covering the applications, data and downtime you can tolerate. We will reply with questions and a written discovery scope, so you see what moves, what it depends on and what drives the estimate before any build begins. A named delivery lead keeps you informed, and if another route suits you better than a migration project, we will say so after scoping.
