Migration Readiness Assessment
Inventory workloads, constraints, and cutover risk before any move begins.
Workspace Vectorgrid
Migration plans written before anyone touches production.
Programming consulting for cloud migration planning: inventories, placement decisions, cutover sequences, and rollback criteria your United Kingdom teams can rehearse.
Consultations that stay on the plan
We do not provision accounts or ship your traffic. We help engineering leads decide what moves, in what order, and under which abort rules — then leave documents your team can own.
Workload Placement Workshops
Decide what stays, what moves, and what is replaced — with criteria everyone can defend.
Cutover Sequencing & Dependency Design
Order the waves so dual-run periods stay short and rollback stays real.
Cost Envelope Planning
Build a credible run-cost envelope before finance asks for a number you cannot defend.
Runbook & Rollback Design
Write the night-of steps and the abort criteria before anyone touches production.
Migration Advisory Retainer
Senior planning review while your engineers execute the waves.
A local utility for the notes between waves
After workshops, the same system names, owners, and go/no-go checks can be kept in Workspace Vectorgrid’s local data tracking utility on a machine you control. It is analytical software for record-keeping. It does not hold funds, keys, or cloud credentials. Availability of that desktop utility is listed with Veve.
From a Bristol cutover that almost skipped identity
“Helena forced us to list the batch jobs that still wrote to the old identity store. The readiness pack made ‘later’ a dated wave.”
Field notes from the planning table
Name the systems before you name the clouds
Cloud brands are easy to argue about. System boundaries that still share a login table are harder — and they decide whether wave one finishes.
Dual-run weeks that do not quietly drift forever
A dual-run without an exit date becomes a second production. Write the exit checks when you write the start.
Freeze windows and honest calendars
Retail peaks, payroll cycles, and board demos are not footnotes. Put them on the migration calendar before you pick a weekend.
Rollback that someone will actually call
Rollback fails when the criteria are vague or the person who can abort is asleep. Name both.
