"With half its workforce dedicated to software engineering, Niveus not only migrates but modernises legacy systems, enabling businesses to leverage the full power of Google Cloud."
The Scenario
Facing rising operational costs and the limitations of an outdated IT environment, you’re by no means alone in the Australian context. However, it is now critical that you look for ways to migrate from your legacy infrastructure on AWS to Google Cloud. Your goals are:
- Cost Optimisation: Reduce operational expenses by leveraging Google Cloud’s competitive pricing and efficiency.
- Modernisation: Update and optimise legacy applications for improved performance and scalability.
- Business Continuity: Maintain uninterrupted operations during the migration process.
- Security and Compliance: Ensure adherence to ANZ’s strict data sovereignty and industry-specific regulatory requirements.
However, you’re also probably facing significant challenges in building a roadmap to do this:
- Your applications are deeply integrated with their current AWS environment, requiring recoding for compatibility with Google Cloud.
- The business cannot afford downtime during the migration, as your revenue depends on always-on digital platforms.
- Your IT team lacks the specialised skills to handle the complexities of cloud transition and fears potential risks. What’s more, you’re keenly aware that Australia is in the middle of an IT skills shortage crisis, so you’re unlikely to find that talent quickly or cost effectively.
For all of these reasons, you turn to Niveus for help.
Imagine that you’re a mid-market organisation seeking to optimise costs, modernise applications and enhance capabilities. Here’s how Niveus would work with you:
"Niveus transforms cloud migration from a daunting challenge into a seamless journey, ensuring cost optimisation, compliance, and uninterrupted operations every step of the way."
The Niveus Approach
Phase 1: Initial Assessment and Planning
Niveus begins by conducting a comprehensive assessment of your existing IT environment using an advanced automated toolset. This tool analyses the application code, infrastructure, and dependencies, generating a detailed report that highlights:
- Code quality and areas requiring updates.
- Opportunities for optimisation in the Google Cloud environment.
- A risk assessment and mitigation plan to ensure business continuity.
Meanwhile, a TCO analysis compares your current AWS costs with Google Cloud, including potential savings from enterprise discount programs, platform credits, and migration incentives. With this information you can confidently commit to the migration, knowing that it will meet your cost objectives.
Phase 2: Migration Strategy Development
Now, Niveus designs a tailored migration plan focusing on three key areas:
- Lift and Shift: Moving your existing infrastructure to Google Cloud while maintaining functionality.
- Modernisation: Recoding and optimising applications to leverage Google Cloud’s advanced features, such as enhanced scalability and AI integration.
- Optimisation: Ensuring the new environment operates efficiently post-migration, with a focus on cost savings and performance.
To address any compliance concerns you may have, Niveus configures secure communication channels and aligns Google Cloud services with ANZ data sovereignty regulations. From there, your engineers work in a controlled, secure environment, ensuring no sensitive data is exposed during the process.
- Dual-Run Environment: Niveus establishes parallel systems on AWS and Google Cloud, allowing operations to continue uninterrupted.
- Recoding and Optimisation: A team of software engineers — half of Niveus’s workforce specialises in this area — recodes legacy applications to fit Google Cloud’s architecture. The automated toolset is used to ensure the quality and security of the updated code.
- Risk Mitigation: Niveus identifies potential roadblocks and provides solutions, minimising surprises during the transition.
