Cloud Migration & Optimization

Challenge

The retailer was running core e‑commerce and inventory systems across two legacy data centres and an early, inconsistent use of cloud. Costs were rising and new regions were hard to launch. They wanted a clear multi-cloud strategy, lower spend, and a repeatable way to stand up new markets.

Solution

We ran a discovery of workloads, data flows, and contracts, then defined a target architecture (primary cloud for compute and data, secondary for DR and specific services). We migrated critical paths in phases, automated provisioning with Terraform, and set up cost controls and tagging so every team could see their usage. New regions now go live in days, not months.

What we did

Mapped dependencies and defined migration waves by risk and value
Standardised on Infrastructure as Code and shared modules per environment
Introduced reserved capacity and spot usage where safe; cut waste by 40%
Documented runbooks and trained platform team on the new stack

Results

40%
reduction in infrastructure cost
3x
faster rollout for new regions
99.9%
uptime post-migration
They didn’t just move boxes. They gave us a strategy we can run ourselves. We’re now 40% down on infra cost and we spin up new regions in weeks instead of quarters.
