Migration disciplines

Every kind of cloud migration we deliver

From a single legacy application to a full data-centre exit. Each sub-service is staffed by senior architects and engineers who have shipped the same pattern across regulated estates.

Application Migration

Core service

7R disposition per workload (rehost, replatform, refactor) sequenced around dependency graphs and business-service criticality.

  • 7R disposition
  • Dependency sequencing
  • Service-criticality routing

Data Migration

Data layer

Zero-downtime database moves with CDC (Debezium, AWS DMS, Azure DMS), checksum reconciliation, and parallel-run validation.

  • CDC / DMS
  • Checksum validation
  • Parallel runs

Infrastructure Migration

Platform layer

Re-platform on-prem estates onto cloud-native landing zones: IaC, network topology, identity, and observability included.

  • IaC & automation
  • Landing zones
  • Observability

Hybrid Cloud Migration

Hybrid

Workloads spanning on-prem and cloud with consistent IAM, observability, and policy planes, designed for the workloads that can't all move.

  • Hybrid connectivity
  • IAM & policy
  • Workload fit

Multi-Cloud Migration

Multi-cloud

AWS + Azure + GCP deployed under a common control plane: landing zones, network peering, and cost governance across providers.

  • Multi-cloud control plane
  • Cost governance
  • Network peering

Legacy System Migration

Legacy transformation

Mainframe and legacy stack exit: incremental strangler patterns, contract-tested cut-overs, and managed parallel runs.

  • Strangler patterns
  • Cut-over assurance
  • Parallel runs

What changes when you migrate

Convert legacy constraints into competitive strengths

Where on-prem estates run out of headroom, a regulator-fluent cloud migration earns it back. Every left-hand pain becomes a right-hand outcome on day one of cutover.

BEFORE
  • Capacity Ceilings on Hardware
  • Quarter-Long Procurement Cycles
  • Single-Region Failure Domains
  • Manual Patching & Drift
  • Opaque Cost Allocation
  • Audit-Chasing Compliance Evidence
  • Long Disaster-Recovery Windows
AFTER

Your Cloud Migration Delivered

100% Completed
  • Elastic capacity on demand

    Autoscaling groups and managed services flex with traffic so peak events stop being a capacity-planning exercise.

    Solved
  • Same-day environment provisioning

    Landing zone + IaC pipelines provision new environments in hours, not quarters, no procurement queue.

    Solved
  • Multi-region resilience by default

    Multi-AZ + cross-region failover wired into the reference architecture, severe-but-plausible scenarios rehearsed.

    Solved
  • Patching and drift fully automated

    Immutable infrastructure, drift detection, and policy-as-code keep estates compliant with no manual sweeps.

    Solved
  • Cost transparent to the team owner

    Mandatory cost tags, per-team budgets, and anomaly alerts make every pound spent traceable to a service owner.

    Solved
  • Audit evidence produced continuously

    Compliance scans run in CI so PRA, FCA, and SOC 2 evidence packs are a query, not a quarterly scramble.

    Solved
  • Minutes-grade disaster recovery

    Cross-region replication and tested runbooks bring RTO inside operational-resilience impact tolerances.

    Solved
Hyperscalers we engineer on

Three clouds, one operating model

We are platform-neutral and recommend honestly, including the option to stay on-prem for workloads where cloud doesn't earn its keep.

Design constraints we never trade

Four pillars hard-wired into every migration

These are load-bearing for any cloud programme we run, not stage gates, not afterthoughts. Each pillar lives in the migration plan from week one.

01

Security & Compliance

Zero-trust IAM, encrypted-by-default storage, and policy-as-code so audit findings stop being a surprise.

  • Zero-trust IAM + federated identity
  • Encryption at rest + in transit, customer-managed keys
  • Policy-as-code via OPA, AWS SCP, or Azure Policy
  • Continuous compliance scanning wired into CI
02

Operational Resilience

Impact-tolerance windows, severe-but-plausible scenario rehearsals, and runbooks tested before cutover, not after.

  • Important business service mapping
  • Multi-AZ + region failover playbooks
  • Vendor-failure scenario rehearsals
  • Quarterly chaos drills with evidence pack
03

FinOps & Cost

Cost tagging at the IaC layer, commitment strategy modelled before any workload lands, and runaway-spend alerts wired to your team.

  • Mandatory cost tags enforced in CI
  • Reserved + savings-plan strategy modelled pre-cutover
  • Per-team budgets + anomaly alerts
  • Monthly FinOps review with named owner
04

Performance & Scale

Reference architectures with measured SLOs, autoscaling baselines, and an observability stack you can prove against your tolerances.

  • Latency + throughput SLOs per service
  • Autoscaling with load-test calibration
  • Distributed tracing via OpenTelemetry
  • Capacity model reviewed each quarter
Our engagement workflow

Seven stages from first call to ongoing support

Every engagement walks the same path, sized to your problem, but with the same verification gates baked in.

  • Phase 01

    Discovery

    Two-week paid sprint. Architect-led. Output: regulator map, costed roadmap, signed scope.

  • Phase 02

    Planning

    Pod composition, sequenced milestones, change-control governance, and risk register.

  • Phase 03

    Design

    Reference architecture, threat model, design system, and acceptance criteria locked.

  • Phase 04

    Development

    Weekly demos, trunk-based, CI/CD from day one. Code reviewed against spec at every gate.

  • Phase 05

    Testing

    Unit, integration, e2e, security, performance, and accessibility, automated and gated.

  • Phase 06

    Deployment

    Blue-green or canary, observability live before launch, rollback rehearsed.

  • Phase 07

    Support

    Managed services or hypercare hand-off. Defined SLOs, named on-call, monthly reviews.

Why teams choose BritonOne Technology

Four reasons enterprise buyers come back

We don't compete on lowest day-rate. We compete on shipped outcomes inside environments that have to clear audit.

Senior-only delivery

Every engineer on every engagement is at least senior, typically eight to fifteen years deep in their craft. No bench rotations, no junior pyramid hidden behind a glossy proposal, no bait-and-switch after contract signature. The architect who scoped your engagement is the same person committing code by week three.

Audit-ready by default

FCA, PRA, EBA, BaFin, FINMA, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II: every framework we work under is treated as a design constraint from day one, not a final-stage gate. Evidence trails, model-risk packs, change-control artefacts, and pen-test reports ship alongside the code, ready for second-line review without a remediation sprint.

Anti-drift delivery discipline

Small pods of three to seven engineers, each with a named delivery lead who owns scope, schedule, and outcomes from kickoff to hand-off, never a faceless team you have to chase for an answer. Weekly demos run against the signed scope, frequent verification gates catch regressions early, and quarterly outcome reviews measure real progress against the original business case rather than a moving target. Together those rituals catch scope drift before it has any chance to compound, so programmes that should take six months don't quietly stretch into eighteen, budgets stay anchored to what was agreed, and every milestone ships with a written, testable definition of done that both sides sign off before we move on.

Long-tail support beyond hand-off

We don't disappear the moment the engagement closes. Managed services, hypercare windows, named on-call rotations, or quarterly health checks: pick the depth that matches your operational risk profile. About seventy percent of clients return for a second programme, usually because the team that shipped the first one is still on the other end of the page.

Client Satisfaction Reviews

Words from the teams we have shipped with.

Anonymous under MNDA. Each quote is from a senior buyer who owned the engagement end to end across the services catalogue.

One Team Replacing Two Vendors

BritonOne Technology replaced two of our incumbent vendors with one team. Faster sprints, fewer status meetings, more code shipped per week.

Common pre-engagement questions

Things buyers ask before picking the first service

Frequently asked questions

Yes, and most engagements do. A typical programme bundles two or three services (for example, cloud migration + cloud security + managed ops, or AI consulting + generative AI + data analytics). One statement of work, one delivery lead, one invoice, one accountable line.
