Move critical workloads to AWS with less downtime and a plan your team can execute.
We help product and IT teams leave colo, aging data centers, or fragile cloud setups without betting the business on a single cutover weekend. You get discovery, a workload-by-workload path, rehearsed runbooks, and knowledge transfer — not a black-box project you cannot operate afterward.
The problem
Migrations stall when dependencies are unclear, rollback is undefined, and leadership cannot see cost or downtime risk. Teams postpone the move, pay for overlapping infrastructure, and keep firefighting hardware that no longer matches the product.
Maintenance windows that keep growing
Undocumented dependencies that surface only at cutover
Parallel spend on old and new environments
Internal engineers pulled off product work for months
Who this is for
Mid-market product and SaaS teams outgrowing colo or a first-generation cloud setup
IT organizations with a renewal, lease end, or hardware refresh forcing a decision
Teams that need a migration partner who leaves runbooks — not permanent dependency
New England and remote US companies that want East Coast hours and direct engineer access
Outcomes we aim for
A written migration plan with phases, owners, and rollback criteria
Cutover that fits your maintenance window — rehearsed before production
Predictable infrastructure cost after landing on AWS
Your team able to operate day-two workloads without calling us for every change
What we cover
Migration readiness and dependency discovery
Landing-zone and account-structure foundations
Workload-by-workload path selection (rehost, replatform, or refactor)
Data migration, testing, and cutover rehearsal
Security and governance baselines before production traffic
Hypercare, cost optimization, and knowledge transfer
How we deliver
Discover
Map workloads, dependencies, compliance needs, and constraints. Identify what must move first and what can wait.
Design
Choose a path per workload, size the landing zone, and write cutover and rollback runbooks your team can follow.
Migrate
Stage in parallel where it helps, rehearse cutover, execute in your window, and watch closely through hypercare.
Optimize & hand off
Right-size spend, close gaps found in production, and leave documentation so ownership stays with your team.
What you receive
Migration readiness findings and recommended sequence
Architecture and account-structure recommendations
Cutover and rollback runbooks
Post-migration checklist and cost review notes
Knowledge-transfer sessions with your engineers
Example engagement shape
Migration Readiness Assessment
Fixed-scope discovery: inventory workloads, map dependencies, identify risks, and recommend a phased path before anyone commits to a cutover date.
Written readiness findings and recommended sequence
In-scope vs. out-of-scope for phase 1
High-level effort bands and decision points
Cutover and rollback considerations for the first wave
Engineer-led delivery — you talk to the people doing the work
Plans written for your team to execute, not locked behind a managed black box
Uptime and cost treated as design constraints, not afterthoughts
Portland, ME base with New England and US remote coverage
Engagement options
Most migrations start with a fixed-scope readiness assessment, then a written plan and estimate before build work. Larger programs can be phased by workload wave.

Fixed-scope migration wave — pilot or production cutover with defined deliverables
Follow-on optimization or managed cloud support after go-live
Frequently asked questions
Do you help with AWS migrations in Maine and New England?
Yes. We are based in Portland, ME and work with teams across New England and the U.S. Discovery can be remote or on-site, and we leave cutover runbooks your team can run.
How long does a typical AWS migration take?
It depends on workload count, dependencies, and compliance. After discovery you get a written plan with phases — many teams start with a pilot workload within a few weeks.
Can you migrate without extended downtime?
We design around your maintenance window with staged cutovers, rollback plans, and rehearsed runbooks. True zero downtime is not always possible; we minimize risk and surprise cost.
How is migration work priced?
Readiness assessments are fixed-scope. Implementation is estimated in writing before kickoff — by wave or by workload — so you see cost range before billable build work starts.
