Cloud Migration Services
Cloud migration services are aimed at moving companies’ applications and databases to the cloud environment to achieve greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness. ScienceSoft’s cloud migration services span from migration planning and design up to the support of the migrated solution until full migration success.
Planning and design
- Migration strategy and plan tailored to your business needs.
- Application(s) and data warehouse architectures adapted to the cloud.
- CI/CD pipeline design for quick development.
Migration & optimization
- Modernized application(s) or DWH.
- Cloud infrastructure configuration.
- Integration of cloud and on-premises environments to form a hybrid cloud infrastructure, if required.
- CI/CD implementation.
- Test strategy, test plan, test cases. Automated tests.
- Data migration scripts, data migrated.
Knowledge transfer
- Detailed process descriptions and policies regulating IT service provisioning after cloud migration.
- Cloud-specific knowledge transfer to in-house architects, developers, testers, DevOps engineers, IT support specialists, DBAs, and security administrators.
Support & optimization
- Setup of monitoring tools to measure cloud app/DWH performance, load, etc.
- Cloud operating cost optimization strategy.
*Subsequent apps are moved faster due to the experience gained, e.g., with established migration processes dozens of applications can be moved to the cloud in a 6-month period or hundreds in a year.

Common Questions about Migration Services Answered
|
|
How can I be sure that my migration investments will pay off? As a rule, we start with cloud migration consulting and assess the feasibility of your migration project based on the anticipated TCO, ROI, development time and cost. |
|
|
How can a migration service vendor understand our app well enough to re-implement it in the cloud? We can restructure your app without affecting its business logic:
|
|
|
Can cloud migration result in application misbehavior? We provide automated testing to check app business logic, thus, we can continuously monitor how introduced changes influence it at no additional cost. |
|
|
How can I control the migration project’s progress? We ensure cooperation transparency to give you full visibility into the project progress. Thus, we work in adherence with SLA that outlines expected timelines, responsibilities, deliverables and KPIs to measure the quality of these deliverables, the team’s speed and responsiveness, and provide regular reports on the completed work. |
