Our Cloud App Development and Migration Stories
The Scope of ScienceSoft’s Cloud Application Services
We can provide any single service or a mix of services from the list.
For a new cloud app implementation, we can elicit business needs, describe and prioritize functional and technical requirements, design architecture and UX/UI, estimate TCO and ROI, conduct a feasibility study and provide a project roadmap. For existing cloud apps, we can assess their quality and efficiency and suggest short-term and long-term improvements.
Cloud app development
Whether you need a simple mobile app or a complex enterprise system, we have the skills and expertise to deliver the perfect solution for you. We cover every aspect of the app development process, from ideation and design to coding, testing, deployment, and user training.
If you want to test and validate functionality before full-scale implementation, we can start with PoCs, interactive prototypes, and MVPs.
We move apps of any complexity from on-premises infrastructures to cloud-based ones — quickly, safely, and with minimal disruptions to business processes. Before the migration, we will choose the most optimal migration strategy (rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, etc.) and fitting cloud services, define the steps and timelines. After the migration, our team can set up monitoring tools to keep track of the app’s performance, response time, and load and handle its continuous support.
We plan and build reliable, secure, easy-to-support and scale integrations between custom and commercial systems using cloud services. For legacy apps, we additionally plan and implement software modifications.
Our cloud experts can help you plan and build a new top-performing SaaS product or rework your existing software solutions into a successful SaaS app. We cover all aspects, from idea productization, brand design, and UI/UX to development and testing. Our team works with advanced technologies — like AI/ML, AR/VR, and blockchain — to expand the scope of functions your SaaS can perform. Your sole ownership of the code is spelled out in the contract.
We ensure that applications deployed in the cloud function properly and efficiently 24/7. For this, we provide continuous performance and security monitoring and optimization, regular upgrades and patches, regular backups and disaster recovery strategy updates.
We are also ready to support the users who encounter issues or have questions about using the application.
We can encapsulate an application or an app component and its dependencies into a container, which can then be easily deployed and managed in a cloud environment. Containerization helps increase apps’ agility, improve performance and reliability, and reduce development and maintenance costs.
We help design, configure, monitor, manage, and optimize every component of the infrastructure underlying cloud-based applications: servers, storage, networking, private and public integrations, etc.
Whether you need to set up a secure cloud environment from scratch or enhance the security of your existing cloud assets, we ensure the solid protection of your cloud data, apps, and underlying infrastructure. Our services go beyond just identifying vulnerabilities in cloud security: we provide extensive guidance and remediation assistance.
Cloud usage optimization
We help you maximize the efficiency of cloud resources and infrastructure. This involves continuous monitoring and cost analysis, identifying areas where cloud resources are being underutilized or overutilized, enabling autoscaling, optimizing data storage, and more.

Must-Have Attributes of Our Apps
Scalability and portability
We split an application into services/microservices and get them containerized to help you minimize downtimes caused by application overload or migration.
Resilience
We use hierarchies of services, message queues, dynamic scaling, and automated recovery to eliminate the possibility of app failure escalation.
Flexibility
We leverage layered architectures, clear separation of concerns (SoC), standardized and well-documented APIs, etc., to make cloud apps easily adopt updates (e.g., conceptual changes, new features) and integrate with other applications.
Security
We heavily invest in a mature information security system compliant with ISO 27001 and follow CIS, NIST, and OWASP requirements and recommendations. We also retain top security experts on board, build a secure development environment, ensure strict access control and strong encryption algorithms.
Cost-efficiency
We have a vast set of tools and practices to reduce software development, maintenance, and hosting costs. Depending on your needs, they can include building reusable code, automating CI/CD and testing, using the right ready-to-use cloud services for storage, event processing, integration, data management and analytics.
Compliance
Our in-house compliance consultants ensure that your app meets all the applicable requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, ZATCA, SAMA, and other global and local standards). For new apps, compliance becomes an integral step of the development plan. For the existing apps, our experts identify compliance gaps, develop a remediation plan, and implement the required changes.

Cloud App Initiative Q&A by ScienceSoft
How can we avoid cloud vendor lock-in?
Ensure that your cloud application is designed without complex infrastructure dependencies to easily switch vendors of some cloud services if needed.
Another option is to create a cloud-agnostic cloud app, but it can tangibly increase the cost and duration of the development project.
How not to end up paying more for cloud than for local hosting?
Consider cloud-native architectures for your application. Companies usually experience 30-60% cost savings from what would normally be required for local hosting when the application is correctly adapted to the optimal cloud resource consumption at the architectural level. Note: Re-architecting of legacy applications to make them cloud-native is not always technically and economically feasible.
