The situation
Migrating an industrial manufacturer's application estate to cloud one project at a time would take a decade and produce a different architecture every quarter. Scale required an industrial answer: standards, an inventory, and a factory.
What we did
- 01Built a best-practice cloud architecture playbook — the standards every migration would follow.
- 02Ran a detailed inventory of the full application estate and scored every application on the 5Rs (rehost, replatform, refactor, rebuild, retire).
- 03Designed a global factory operating model to execute migrations at scale in a controlled, repeatable way.
- 04Structured partnerships with external partners to give the factory the capacity the timeline demanded.
The outcome
- Large-scale cloud migration running as a governed factory — repeatable, measured, and architecture-consistent.
- A disposition decision for every application in the estate, not just the easy ones.
