Cloud adoption and migration
Moving from a data centre or shared hosting to the cloud, planned before anything moves: readiness, provider choice, cost, timeline and the skills your team will need.
Included
How we plan and run a cloud move
Readiness review
Your current infrastructure, applications and development practices assessed, so the plan starts from where you really are.
Provider selection
AWS, Azure and Google Cloud compared against your workloads, compliance needs and budget, with the trade-offs explained.
Migration roadmap
What moves first, what depends on what, and how each step can be rolled back if it misbehaves.
Cost and timeline estimate
The time, people and money the move will take, and what running in the cloud will cost each month afterwards.
Upskilling plan
What your team needs to learn, and unlearn, to run cloud systems well, with a plan to get them there.
Migration and cutover
We carry out the move with your team, in planned windows, and stay through the first weeks of running.

Why us
Why teams choose Codespark
Provider-neutral advice
We recommend the provider that fits your workloads and budget, and show you why, instead of pushing one platform.
Business first
The plan is built around service delivery and continuity, so customers do not feel the move.
No surprise bills
Running costs are estimated before you commit, and tagging and budgets are in place from day one.
Approach
Wherever you are starting from
Some companies are still in their own data centre and wondering if they are ready. Some are part-way there, unsure whether one provider, several or a hybrid setup is right. Others were born in the cloud and want to know if they are doing it well. Each starting point gets a different plan, and we tell you plainly which one you are in.
Questions
Common questions
Are we ready to move to the cloud?
The readiness review answers that. We look at your applications, data, team skills and contracts, and tell you what is ready now, what needs work first, and what should stay where it is.
Which cloud provider should we choose?
It depends on your workloads, compliance needs, existing licences and team skills. We compare AWS, Azure and Google Cloud for your case and recommend one, with the reasons written down.
Single cloud, multi-cloud or hybrid?
Most businesses are best served by one provider done well. Multi-cloud or hybrid makes sense for specific reasons such as regulation or existing data centres, and we explain whether those apply to you.
Will the migration disrupt our business?
It is planned to avoid that: systems move in stages, in agreed windows, with a tested way back for each step.
