Moving servers is the easy part. The value — and the risk — sits in what you move, what you retire, how it’s architected and what it costs to run in year two. That is where our engagement starts.
Automated discovery across servers, databases, middleware and network flows, so you migrate against evidence rather than a CMDB that stopped being accurate three years ago.
A costed comparison of on-premise, cloud and hybrid over five years — licensing, egress, refactor effort, exit and run cost included. The model your CFO signs, not a vendor calculator screenshot.
Multi-account or multi-subscription landing zones with identity, network segmentation, tagging, guardrails and policy-as-code built in from day one — not retrofitted after the audit finding.
Every application assessed against rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire or retain — then sequenced into waves by business risk, not by rack order. Roughly a fifth of most estates never needs to move at all.
Controls mapped to your obligations — GDPR, DPDP, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 — with encryption, key management and residency boundaries designed in before workloads move, and evidence packs your auditor accepts.
Tagging standards, showback by business unit, rightsizing and commitment strategy configured during migration — which is why our clients don’t spend year two undoing a 40% overspend.
These are the ranges our enterprise clients typically see within 12 months of a Teceze-led migration. We baseline your current estate during the assessment, then commit to targets in the migration plan.
From rightsizing, commitment coverage and retiring workloads that shouldn’t have moved.
Where migration is paired with automated provisioning and infrastructure-as-code.
Typical business-impacting downtime per wave, with a tested rollback at every gate.
Designed against multi-AZ or multi-region targets agreed with the business, not assumed.
A typical engagement starts with a three-week assessment: discovery and dependency mapping, 6R disposition, costed business case, then a wave plan your board can approve — delivered as a document you own, whether or not you migrate with us.

You don’t until it’s modelled, and for some workloads it isn’t. Our assessment produces a five-year TCO comparing your current estate against cloud and hybrid options, including licensing, egress, refactor effort, run cost and exit cost. Where the numbers don’t support a move, we say so and recommend what to retain. A migration that damages your cost base is worse for us than no migration at all.
By workload profile, existing licensing position, data residency obligations and the skills your team already has. Heavy Microsoft estates usually land better on Azure; data and analytics workloads often argue for something else. We’re platform-independent, so the recommendation follows the assessment. Multi-cloud is a legitimate answer, but only when there’s a business reason for it, since it roughly doubles your operating overhead otherwise.
A three-week assessment, then waves. A mid-size enterprise estate of 200–400 applications typically runs six to nine months end to end, with the first low-risk wave live within four to six weeks of approval. Each wave has entry and exit criteria, a tested rollback and a defined cutover window. We don’t start the next wave until the last one is signed off by the application owner.
Most workloads cut over inside a four-hour window, scheduled with the application owner. Replication and pre-sync run for days beforehand, so the cutover itself is a switch, not a copy. For workloads that genuinely can’t take an outage, we design near-zero-downtime patterns: database replication with staged failover, and price that separately, because it costs more and shouldn’t be applied to everything by default.
Residency boundaries are set in the landing zone design, enforced through policy-as-code, and evidenced in the audit pack, so a workload cannot be deployed into a non-compliant region by mistake. We deliver against GDPR, India’s DPDP Act, HIPAA, PCI DSS and ISO 27001 control sets, and work with your risk and compliance teams during design rather than presenting them with a completed architecture.
Your team runs the estate afterwards, so they’re embedded in the programme from design onward. Runbooks, architecture decision records and infrastructure-as-code are handed over as assets you own, not held as vendor lock-in. Where there’s a capability gap, we deliver structured enablement during the migration and can provide managed operations for a defined period while your team builds up.
The assessment is a fixed-price, fixed-scope engagement with a defined deliverable. Migration is typically priced per wave or per application band, so cost tracks scope rather than elapsed time. Cloud consumption stays in your own AWS or Azure agreement. We don’t resell your compute, which means our advice on rightsizing isn’t working against our own margin.
FinOps controls are configured during migration, not after: mandatory tagging, budgets and alerts, showback by business unit, rightsizing recommendations and a commitment strategy reviewed quarterly. Overspend is almost always a governance failure rather than a technical one. If nobody owns a cost line, it grows, so we assign ownership as part of the operating model handover.
