Cloud Migration

AHEAD’s cloud migration offering combines migration and modernization into a single, application‑centric program that moves workloads to public and hybrid clouds using patterns like rehost, replatform, relocate, and refactor, rather than a lift‑and‑shift migration that just recreates legacy in the cloud.
We align on business and financial goals, run workload assessments to map dependencies, design target architectures, then execute migrations using automation, landing zone patterns, and platform engineering to move prioritized apps quickly and safely, with structured handoff to operations.
Clients typically see 25–50% faster cloud migrations and 10–35% lower TCO, clearer workload placement decisions, reduced technical debt, and a more agile, reliable cloud platform that better supports innovation, AI initiatives, and ongoing cost optimization.

Cloud Platform Operating Model

From platform engineering to DevOps to hybrid infrastructure and networking, there is a playbook behind every element of the AHEAD operating model. We can teach your teams or manage the solutions for you.
Our public cloud accelerator can rapidly instantiate Azure, AWS, or the public cloud of your choice with all the automation and code you need to run a well-oiled machine to put your workloads on. Security automation is also integrated into all our accelerators.
Our platform engineering accelerators help you instantiate infrastructure automation and give you the tools needed for CI/CD and setting up containers if necessary.

03.

Cloud Cost Optimization

AHEAD FinOps teams, in conjunction with our managed cloud services teams, help you gain insights into existing cloud spend, forecast where your spend is going, and optimize your existing cloud deployments.
Our workshops give visibility into existing cloud workloads, account for shared costs to business units, and implement rigorous tagging and governance to assist with accurate reporting.
We integrate industry-leading tools into AWS, Azure, or GCP environments, so you can accurately predict usage, detect anomalies, and optimize spend across all clouds.

04.

Cloud Security

Implement industry-best cloud security practices built on a secure, scalable, and optimized platform.

We build a secure cloud architecture from the ground up, establishing governance and policies to reduce sprawl and attack surface.

We can integrate cloud services with your existing security logging platforms and augment them with industry-leading cloud security tools.
