From on-premise to Azure Cloud

I want to migrate to the Cloud, but how?

Lift-and-shift, evolve, go-native. Just a few methods to migrate your business-critical application to the Cloud. Sounds nice, but what's right? How do you ensure a smooth migration, so that business processes run smoothly and the performance of your application improves at the same time?

At TeamValue, we deliver value to our customers. That's why we have a clear vision when it comes to Cloud migration. We do not implement a lift-and-shift method — we pick up the application and put it in the Cloud —. We don't believe in this way of migrating. Why? Our CEO Anton Cnossen compares it to old wine in new bottles.” “Many cloud consultancy companies opt for this method. They pick up the application, put it in the Cloud, and only then look at optimization and performance improvements in the Cloud. Everything that doesn't fit at that moment is parked in the figurative “dinosaur park”. What we see happening is that migrations are immediately under pressure in terms of resilience, scalability and costs, and cheap and scalable services from the Cloud are not being used due to a lack of knowledge. In this way, migrations cost tons of money and the final result does not outweigh this. We regret that, because things can be done differently. However, our way of working in this world is still quite unknown. So we would like to change that.”

We hear you think. So how should it be, what is the way of working that provides actual business value? Anton: “If it were up to us, we'll only migrate go-native combined with our own way of work”The Golden Path'. This means that everything we do is across the value axis, so we develop software that really adds value.”

Migrating to the Cloud with the go-native method and The Golden Path

With go-native, we are building a modular, flexible and agile Cloud architecture step by step. What does this mean in concrete terms in the long term?

• A resilient and future-proof Cloud Strategy
• A proven uptime of 99.99%
• ISO in the Cloud
• Lower management costs by paying as you go

You only start a go-native migration with a few thousand euros, instead of the lift-and-shift method that sometimes costs tons. We choose the component in your application that provides the most business value. Why? To show you that the Cloud does not involve major risks and that the business and end users actually benefit from this investment. See it as a “success case” for the rest of the organization that provides trust and value.

During the migration, we then leave all axes of The Golden Path pass, where we focus on the value, time-to-market and quality axis. What value are we going to deliver, at what speed can we deliver it and at what quality requirements? With The Golden Path, we make this measurable, so that you can monitor and improve the overall quality throughout your organization.

One of the models we use is an 'operating model'. We link the applications to smart Cloud monitoring, called Application Insights, and are therefore able to predict where and when to improve the application. In addition, we actively steer towards the management organization, so that they do not get a Cloud application thrown over the fence, but are actually able to grow with the impact it has on them.

The success of a Cloud migration: actively managing behavioral change

During the project, we not only migrate the application to the Cloud, but we also actively steer and coach on behavioral change in the team. Our consultants will take you step by step through the process and teach you the principles of our way-of-work The Golden Path. So you can keep following the road to value even when we are gone soon —. Transparency in the process You can test us on that.

ISO and One-Button-Deploy in the Cloud

In addition, we focus on ISO in the Cloud. Being able to release automatically, respond to changing circumstances, replace before repair, scalable and future-proof applications that meet security requirements. That is our standard.

Just like One Button Deploy by the business. Not IT, but the business decides when to release. With just the push of a button. By enabling the business to release, you increase engagement in the organization and increase the quality of IT. A win-win, where the DTaP street also enables you to develop safely, traceable and ISO-proof.
