Benefits of Cloud Migration Services by ScienceSoft
Optimized cloud costs
According to Flexera’s 2021 State of the Cloud Report, on average, 35% of an enterprise cloud bill is wasted. Often, overspending reaches 70% and more! At ScienceSoft, we’re for reasonable IT investments only. We apply different tactics to help you get the most each dollar spent on cloud services.
State-of-the-art reliability and low latency
Actively working with business-critical systems, our cloud migration specialists know how important it is to ensure the maximum availability and performance of your apps in any circumstances and spotless work of your time-sensitive apps.
Superior security
According to the 2022 Cloud Security Report, the top cloud security threats are unauthorized cloud access (42%), insecure interfaces (42%), misconfiguration of the cloud platform (40%), and account hijacking (39%). Since 2003, ScienceSoft’s security experts have been helping businesses monitor, prevent, detect, and manage security incidents.

The Key Stages of Our Cloud Migration Projects
1
Project discovery
- Application/DWH audit.
- Security and compliance assessment.
- Dependencies mapping.
- Requirements gathering.
- Preparing cloud migration project plan.
2
Data migration
For complex and data-intensive migrations, our team works out a strategy and chooses optimal data migration tools. In addition, we:
- Create scripts to perform data extracting, cleaning, and loading to the target environment.
- Build a tool or create a script to automate cloud data migration (automation is optional and depends on the data availability requirements).
- Perform and validate trial data migration.
- Execute massive data migration and test the results.
3
Updating application/DWH architecture and code, if required
4
Mock or pilot migration (optionally)
To reduce the potential risks, we can start the migration with:
- Moving your application or DWH to a beta environment before migrating to the production instances in order to test and fine-tune their functionality and cloud services configuration (mock migration).
- Migrating a small sample to the production environment to identify the impact on the to-be-migrated application, the applications it is integrated with, and other existing infrastructure component (pilot migration).
5
Phased migration of all chosen workloads
6
Testing and going live
7
Maintenance and continuous support (optional)
To prevent any disruptions to your operations, we meticulously plan migrations around your business schedules. Our team identifies peak business hours, critical operational periods (such as month-end reporting for financial departments), and any upcoming business initiatives that require full system availability. Knowing all that, we customize migration windows to align with the low-impact periods. For many businesses, this means scheduling migrations for night hours, weekends, or public holidays.
We employ real-time monitoring to quickly address any issues during migration and have robust rollback plans ready to minimize potential disruptions. Our strategy includes incremental migrations and running parallel systems when possible, allowing business operations to continue smoothly on the existing infrastructure while parts of the system are moved.

Rehost vs. Replatform vs. Re-archictect: What’s the Difference
To really make the most of the cloud, you often need more than migrating your apps and data storage. To get all the benefits — like being able to scale easily or using cool features for AI and IoT — reconsider how your storage and apps are built and managed. This includes incorporating modern approaches like microservices or serverless architectures, containers, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines. By doing this, your IT components will do more than just work in the cloud — they'll thrive.

There are multiple factors that influence the migration timeline, e.g., the chosen cloud migration method, the complexity or workloads and data volume to migrate, the scope of the target infrastructure, the required code and configuration changes. Based on ScienceSoft’s experience, a typical migration of a simple app takes ~2–2.5 months, medium and complex apps – 6+ months, a DWH – ~2–8 months. |

Common Questions about Cloud Migration Services Answered
How can I be sure that my migration investments will pay off?
As a rule, we start with cloud migration consulting to assess the feasibility of your migration project and calculate the TCO and ROI of the solution-to-be.
How do you choose the best cloud option for a specific migration project?
Each cloud provider offers different IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS services. It’s our job as a vendor-neutral cloud migration company to be proficient in the cloud offerings and help you find the best match for your needs. Our recommendation will be a result of a thorough analysis of your budget constraints and requirements for the cloud infrastructure, compliance, security, performance, availability, and many other factors. Choose the right cloud with expert help.
Should a legacy data warehouse continue working simultaneously while the data is being migrated?
When it comes to large and complex data migrations, we tend to have both cloud and on-premises data warehouses running simultaneously during the migration and a short period after. This makes us always ready to roll back in case we face issues that cannot be solved immediately, thus avoiding business disruptions.
Can cloud migration result in application misbehavior?
We provide automated testing to check app business logic, so we can continuously monitor how introduced changes influence it at no additional cost.
How can I control the migration project’s progress?
We ensure cooperation transparency to give you full visibility into the project progress. We work in adherence with an SLA that outlines the expected timelines, responsibilities, deliverables, and KPIs. You also receive regular reports on the completed tasks.
