Cloud Migration and Modernization

Moving and rebuilding workloads for the cloud with a clear cost model, security baseline and rollback plan.

The problem

Where these programs get stuck

  1. Migrations planned server by server, with no view of which workloads should move at all.
  2. Cloud costs that grow faster than expected after the move.
  3. Deadlines set by a data center exit or contract end rather than by readiness.
  4. Access and network rules copied from on-premises without review.

Our approach

How Verant Global helps

We assess each workload and agree whether to move it as it is, rebuild it, replace it or retire it. Migration then happens in planned waves, each with its own cost estimate, security baseline and rollback plan.

  • Decide workload by workload

    Each application gets a recommended approach based on its value, complexity and remaining life.

  • Make costs visible early

    Each wave comes with an estimate of running costs, compared with actual spend after the move.

  • Plan the way back

    Every wave has a documented rollback path in case something does not work as expected.

Capabilities

What we deliver

Cloud readiness assessment
An inventory of workloads, dependencies and costs, with a recommended approach for each.
Migration planning and execution
Wave plans, cutover runbooks and the migration work itself, scheduled around your business calendar.
Application modernization
Refactoring or rebuilding applications to use managed cloud services where the benefit justifies the effort.
Landing zone setup
Account structure, networking, identity and baseline security controls for new cloud environments.
Cost management
Tagging, budgets and regular reviews, so spending is visible and attributable to teams.
Cloud operations
Monitoring, patching and backup arrangements for workloads after migration.

Engagement options

Ways to start

If the deadline is close, the assessment and the first migration wave can be planned together. How engagements run.

  • Project

    Cloud readiness assessment

    A review of the workloads in scope, their dependencies and their current costs.

    You receive: A workload inventory with a recommended approach for each, a cost estimate and a wave plan.

  • Project

    Migration waves

    Planned migration of workloads in waves, each with its own cutover and rollback plan.

    You receive: Migrated workloads, updated architecture documentation and a cost comparison for each wave.

  • Managed service

    Cloud operations

    Ongoing monitoring, maintenance and cost review of your cloud environment under a monthly plan.

    You receive: Regular reports on environment health, spend and planned changes.
