Most migration fears come down to one myth: that everything has to move at once. It doesn’t. Every cloud environment is built from three types of blocks, and each takes a different amount of work. Run a cloud analysis first, and the migration follows a clear pattern.
Category 1
Databases, virtual machines, storage, and Kubernetes are based on widely supported technologies. In most cases, they can move with proven migration methods and little disruption.
Category 2
Managed services like serverless functions and message queues usually have equivalents on European cloud platforms. They often require some changes, but the effort is predictable and can be combined with planned modernization.
Category 3
Some services are deeply integrated with a single cloud provider. These need a conscious decision: replace them, rebuild them, or leave them where they are. Our cloud analysis identifies these systems before you migrate.
Here’s the honest answer: not everything has to move, and not everything should. A good migration plan starts by sorting out what’s easy, what’s worth doing, and what can stay put.
Amazon Web Services
Learn where AWS lock-in typically occurs, which European providers are good alternatives, and how a migration can affect your cloud costs.
Microsoft Azure
See which Azure services are easiest to migrate, where you’ll need adjustments, and how to approach services like Azure Functions and Cosmos DB.
Modern European cloud providers deliver high availability, the cloud services you actually need, and often lower total costs. For many companies, they’re a real alternative to the big hyperscalers now. Pick any two in the comparison below and see how they stack up.

We’re not tied to any of these providers, and we don’t earn commissions. Our recommendation follows your workflows, not our partner list.
When you build a new house, you don’t copy the old floor plan. Cloud environments accumulate technical debt over time: oversized resources, unused services, and unnecessary complexity. Migration is your chance to leave those behind instead of carrying them into a new environment. We keep what works and change what doesn’t.
PHASE 1
2 to 6 weeks, depending on scope
Outcome: We assess your environment, define the target architecture, plan the migration, and build the new cloud environment.
PHASE 2
3 to 12 months, depending on the environment
Outcome: A controlled migration with no big-bang cutover. Each workflow moves on its own schedule. We run it in parallel, test it, and switch over when it’s ready.
PHASE 3
Ongoing, on your model
Outcome: Once the migration is complete, your team can take over with documentation and training. Or we can continue operating the platform under clearly defined service levels.

Don’t worry, whatever it is, we’ve got you covered in our FAQ.
That depends on scope and the mix of categories, so we won’t quote a flat fee.
After the cloud analysis, you’ll get a fixed price range for each migration wave. And the math isn’t just about one-time cost. Factor in the permanently lower running costs too, since they often make up for the upfront investment within a reasonable timeframe.
Yes.
Certified data centers, guaranteed uptime, and redundant locations are standard practice among established providers. Trading companies, banks, and government agencies already run production workloads on them.
The real difference isn’t operational quality. It’s portfolio breadth and legal jurisdiction, and we clarify both upfront during the analysis.
No, and that’s often not even the right move.
Usually the systems that move are the ones where data sovereignty and cost savings matter most, while anything non-critical stays put. The result is a deliberate split, not an all-or-nothing decision.
A single backend system typically takes three to six months.
Larger environments with multiple systems run six to twelve months or more. Our cloud analysis gives you a solid estimate for your specific case upfront.
No.
We build the target environment in parallel and switch over system by system, only after each one’s been tested and running there. In most cases, your applications and your customers won’t notice a thing.
We run every sovereignty check against the same model: four dimensions, proven across the industry.
