Managed Service 15 / 17
Migrations & Re-platforming
Move to a faster, cheaper, safer stack — without losing what works.
Legacy platforms, sprawling SaaS bills and fragile databases quietly tax speed, cost and security. We migrate you to a modern, owned stack — standard to headless, onto Cloudflare's edge, off per-task automation, and onto clean governed data — as a controlled, reversible cutover, not a risky rebuild.
Controlled & reversible
Map current → required, migrate in parallel, then cut over staged with rollback ready — never a big-bang gamble.
Faithful by default
Content, data, integrations, SEO and redirects carried across with care — you keep what works.
Cheaper to run
Edge hosting, self-hosted automation and a clean data layer cut licence, hosting and per-task costs.
Representative stack
KPIs we move — measured, owned, reported
Every KPI is tied to a named owner and a target agreed up front — so this service is accountable to outcomes, not activity, for every stakeholder who consumes the value.
Capability Maturity — we walk you up the five levels
Operated at Level 4 · Quantitatively Managed — measured, predictable and owned. We track this rank and raise it over time. See the five levels →
Why this matters
Functional value, value-stream value — and why it can't be ignored.
Re-platforms websites, hosting, automation and data onto a modern, owned stack — standard→headless, →Cloudflare edge, Zapier/Make→n8n, and legacy→governed databases — via a controlled, reversible cutover.
Removes structural drag from the whole value stream at once: faster surfaces, lower run-cost, fewer dependencies and trustworthy data — so every downstream service compounds on a cleaner foundation.
Legacy stacks compound their cost every year — licence fees, slow pages, per-task automation bills and fragile data. Staying put means paying more each quarter for less speed, less security and less control.
Why we migrate
The same reasons we choose technology — applied to what you already run.
We select technology last, against process readiness and a commercial objective — never tech for its own sake. Migration is that same discipline applied to your current stack: we move you only where it measurably protects value, cuts cost or unlocks speed. How we select technology →
Speed
Modern, edge-served stacks are sub-second. Slow surfaces cost conversion and SEO every single day.
Cost
Cut licence, hosting and per-task SaaS fees — pay for capability, not lock-in or idle enterprise tiers.
Security
Flat, edge architecture with almost nothing left to attack — fewer moving parts, smaller surface.
Ownership & no lock-in
Composable and self-hosted where it counts — you own the system, not rent someone else's.
Measurability
Clean data and KPIs baked in — you cannot improve, automate or apply AI to what you cannot measure.
Fit to process
The right tool for a designed system — selected against process readiness, so it amplifies, not adds friction.
Four migrations we run
A controlled cutover — not a risky rebuild.
Every migration follows the same disciplined path: map the current state, define the required state, carry content, data, integrations and SEO across faithfully, then cut over with rollback ready.
Standard → Headless
WordPress, Sitecore or Drupal rebuilt on Astro + Sanity — faithful, sub-second and far less to attack.
Hosting → Cloudflare edge
Legacy hosting, AWS or Azure moved to Cloudflare Pages, Workers & R2 — global edge, lower cost, fewer moving parts.
Zapier / Make → n8n
Per-task SaaS automations moved to self-hosted n8n — own your workflows, cut per-operation fees, no vendor lock-in.
Logical database migration
Legacy or fragmented databases moved to a clean, governed schema — integrity checked, lineage kept, zero-downtime cutover.
Common migrations we run
Linked migrations have a dedicated playbook — open it for the full method.
How a migration runs
Map it, move it faithfully, cut over with rollback.
A controlled, evidence-based sequence — so you migrate with confidence, and can always step back if needed.
Discovery & audit
Current state, dependencies, content/data inventory and the real risks — before anything moves.
Map current → required
Content, data, integrations, SEO and redirects mapped target-to-source, with success defined up front.
Build & migrate faithfully
Rebuilt in parallel, pixel- and schema-faithful — the live site keeps running throughout.
Controlled cutover
Staged switch with redirects in place and rollback ready — no big-bang gamble.
Verify & measure
Fidelity checks, performance and KPIs confirmed against the model — proven, not assumed.
One data layer · measured & owned
Every service creates data — captured, measured, owned.
Migrations & Re-platforming doesn’t just run — it generates signal. We land that data in one warehouse and turn it into live KPIs tied to a named owner, so performance is attributable and acted on, never trapped inside a single tool.
Data warehouse
KPIs, dashboards & apps
Platform-agnostic — we connect what you already use and add a warehouse only where it earns its place.
How we deliver · DMAIC
Every Migrations & Re-platforming engagement runs on DMAIC.
Define the goal and its value, measure the baseline, analyse the real constraint, improve with a proven build, then control the gains — so results are predictable, repeatable and defensible, not down to luck.
Agree the goal, value, budget & timescale up front.
Baseline the KPIs above — current state, not guesswork.
Diagnose the real constraint and the solution needed.
Build the chosen solution; prove the uplift.
Lock in the gains; monitor and sustain them.
Start here · the free first step
Migrations & Re-platforming starts the same way every engagement does: with Discovery.
Two distinct moves — a free, no-obligation Discovery Session to find your value at stake, then the Discovery & Blueprint: 14 structured outputs — value model, roadmap and business case — before a pound of delivery is committed.
