Cloud Migration & Governance

Secure multi-cloud landing zone with automated provisioning and compliance controls.

Client Overview

Industry: Public Sector | Region: EMEA | Size: 1,200 staff | Scope: 4 months

A government agency modernizing legacy data centers to support digital citizen services and reduce infrastructure risk.

The Challenge

  • Legacy infrastructure: 140+ on-prem servers with inconsistent patching
  • Compliance gaps: No centralized audit logging or access controls
  • Slow provisioning: New environments took 6–8 weeks
  • Cost opacity: Limited visibility into run-rate and usage
  • Disaster recovery risk: Manual backups with long RTO/RPO

Solution

We delivered a secure cloud landing zone and governed migration framework:

  • Landing zone: Multi-account structure, network segmentation, and shared services
  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform modules for repeatable environments
  • Identity & access: RBAC with MFA, privileged access workflows
  • Observability: Centralized logs, metrics, and security alerts
  • Cost governance: Budget policies, tagging, and chargeback dashboards

Migration approach: 3 pilot applications, then phased wave migration with automated testing and cutover.

Learnings & Best Practices

  • Policy first: Governance guardrails before migration waves
  • Tag discipline: Mandatory tags improved cost visibility and ownership
  • Automated testing: IaC validation reduced configuration drift
  • Change management: Built a cloud center of excellence for adoption

Client quote: "We went from months to days for new environments, and compliance audits are now routine instead of disruptive."
