Dexsof/Services/Cloud Migration

Move to the CloudWithout the Horror Stories.

We plan and execute cloud migrations that are methodical, low-risk, and reversible — so your business modernises without the downtime, data loss, or cost surprises that give migration a bad reputation.

Cloud migration

Cloud migration, done right.

Cloud migration that moves your systems to AWS, GCP, or Azure without disrupting operations — planned, phased, and validated at every step.

Migration strategies

Not every workload moves the same way.

We assess every workload individually and recommend the right strategy per application — not a one-size-fits-all lift and shift that misses the long-term value.

Lift and shift

Move to cloud VMs with minimal changes. Fastest, lowest risk, and the lowest cloud-native benefit.

Replatform

Replace specific components with managed cloud equivalents — without a full redesign of the application.

Refactor

Redesign the application around cloud-native patterns. Highest effort, and the highest long-term value.

Retire

Some applications are not worth migrating. We decommission them and absorb their function elsewhere.

Retain

Some workloads stay on-premise for regulatory, latency, or cost reasons. Hybrid is often the right answer.

Our approach

The discovery phase most projects skip.

The work that prevents migration failures. Application inventory, dependency mapping, and hidden risk identification all happen before any infrastructure moves.

01
Application inventory.

Every application, service, and database documented — including shadow IT and undocumented systems. Nothing moves until everything is accounted for.

02
Dependency mapping.

What calls what, what data flows where, what cannot be migrated until something else moves first. The map that determines the migration sequence.

03
Hidden risk identification.

Hardcoded IP addresses, shared databases, undocumented integrations — the surprises that turn migrations into incidents. Found before they cause problems.

04
Risk register and sequence.

A full inventory, dependency graph, risk register, and recommended migration sequence — delivered before any infrastructure moves.

Zero disruption

Migration that keeps you running.

Parallel operation, canary releases, real-time data synchronisation, and a tested rollback plan at every phase — so migration is a controlled, reversible process, not a gamble.

01
Parallel operation.The migrated environment runs alongside the existing one, with traffic gradually shifted. Never a single hard cutover.
02
Canary releases.A small percentage of traffic goes to the migrated system first, increasing only when metrics confirm equivalence with the original.
03
Real-time data synchronisation.During parallel operation, changes in the legacy system replicate to the cloud environment in real time. No data divergence.
04
A tested rollback plan.Every migration phase has a documented, tested rollback procedure. We do not move without a tested way back.

How it works

No hard cutovers. Here is the process.

Five stages from infrastructure audit to post-migration optimisation — nothing moves until the plan is written and approved.

Dexsof team at work
01
Assessment

We audit your current infrastructure — servers, databases, dependencies, and traffic patterns — before recommending a migration approach. Everything documented.

02
Migration Planning

Applications are grouped by complexity and dependency. The migration sequence is planned to minimise risk and disruption. A full written plan before anything moves.

03
Pilot Migration

A non-critical application is migrated first to validate the process, tooling, and team readiness before migrating critical systems.

04
Phased Migration

Systems are migrated in phases with parallel running periods for critical workloads. The old infrastructure is decommissioned only when the new system is proven.

05
Optimisation

After migration, we review performance, costs, and architecture to ensure you are getting the full benefit of the cloud — not just running data centre workloads in a different location.

What clients say

Voices from the people we built for.

Dexsof rebuilt a system we'd been promised twice before. They shipped in eleven weeks what two other teams couldn't in eighteen months — and the code is the cleanest I've reviewed in a decade.
Priya Anand
VP Engineering · Helix
★★★★★
Genuine senior engineers. The kind who say 'we shouldn't build that' before we waste a quarter on the wrong thing.
Ana Souza
Founder · Verda
★★★★★
We came for a 6-week prototype. Three years later they still run our core platform.
Idris Khan
Head of Engineering · Cantilever
★★★★★
The team integrated seamlessly with our in-house engineers and elevated the entire output. We shipped on time and under budget.
Marcus Lee
CTO · Structr
★★★★★
The mobile app they built has a 4.8-star rating on the App Store. The UX work alone was worth every dollar.
Sofia Reyes
CPO · Laundr
★★★★★
From discovery to deployment in eight weeks. Dexsof is what a modern dev studio should look like.

Omar Al-Rashid
CEO · Netfin
★★★★★
We brought Dexsof in mid-project to rescue a failing build. They diagnosed the architecture problems in days, refactored the core, and had us back on track within two weeks — without losing a single feature.
James Okafor
CTO · Bridgepoint
★★★★★
Fast and reliable.
Lena Hoffmann
Co-founder · Flowbase
★★★★★
Every deadline hit, every estimate accurate. Working with Dexsof felt like having a co-founder with a full dev team behind them.
Tariq Mahmood
CEO · Nuvio
★★★★★
They picked up our legacy codebase that three other contractors had given up on, cleaned it up, and shipped three new features in the same sprint — all without touching the production schedule. Impressive discipline from the entire team.
Rachel Torres
VP Product · Kargo
★★★★★
Dexsof flagged two architectural issues that would have cost us six months.
Daniel Choi
Founder · Stackr

FAQ

Common questions.

Anything not covered here, ask us directly — we answer within 24 hours.

How long does a cloud migration take?

A single application with few dependencies: 4 to 8 weeks. A full data centre migration: 6 to 18 months depending on the number of applications and their complexity. We scope accurately after the assessment.

Can we keep running on-premise during migration?

Yes — hybrid operation during the migration period is standard. Critical systems run in parallel until the cloud version is proven and validated.

What about our databases — can they be migrated without data loss?

Database migration with zero data loss is achievable with the right tooling and approach. We use AWS DMS or equivalent with extensive validation at every stage.

How do you handle security during migration?

Security architecture is redesigned for the cloud, not ported from on-premise. Network segmentation, IAM, secrets management, and encryption at rest and in transit are all part of the migration scope.
