The paragraphs below provides you with a summary of our tried and tested approach to migration. Please refer to the response in the Planning section for more information
Phase 1: A cloud vision and strategy has been defined or validated and signed-off with relevant stakeholders
Phase 2: organisational assets are assessed for cloud suitability. Note that during this phase, recommendations to retire or archive applications will also be provided in order to further strengthen the business case(s).
Phase 3: target environment is built, migration rehearsals are implemented and low risk applications are already operational in the target environment
Phase 4: migration plan is executed at pace, Acceptance into Service processes are being executed and knowledge transfer has begun. Further to this, the footprint of the migration team begins to reduce saving you money
Phase 5: migration plan is completely delivered, product backlogs are refined with the operational team; early life support is train and concludes with complete decamping of consultants i.e. 'go' - Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services
- No

An end to end automated test framework/pipeline will be implemented (where possible) to assure quality. The range of tests are typically implemented throughout the life time of the migration project and automatically triggered any time changes are made to the target environment, tooling and/or the application itself.
The test framework typically includes:
IT Health Checks:
- the range of attack vectors simulated will be agreed with the Cyber/assurance team e.g.spoofing, tampering,repudiation, information disclosure etc.
Regression tests:
- a suite of automated tests agreed with product managers and business stakeholders
Performance tests:
- automated tests scaled to resemble user loads
- soak tests
