cloud platforms
We help you decide what to move, when and how. From readiness assessment to landing zone, migration waves and optimization, Hinkor delivers a cloud foundation your teams can run with confidence.
Overview
Cloud Migration & Modernization helps organizations move applications, data and infrastructure to the cloud in a planned, low-risk way.
We assess your current estate, recommend the right approach for each workload and build a secure landing zone before anything moves. Workloads are then migrated in planned waves, with tested cutover and rollback steps. Where it adds value, we modernize the platform itself by adopting containers, managed databases and other platform services.
The result is a cloud environment that is secure, cost-visible and ready for your team or a managed service to operate.
What gets in the way
Without a full view of applications, dependencies and costs, it is hard to decide what to migrate, in what order and to which platform.
Critical systems cannot afford extended downtime, and tightly coupled dependencies make cutover planning difficult.
Moving workloads raises new questions about identity, access, data residency and regulatory obligations that on-premises controls do not answer.
Workloads moved as-is often run oversized, and without tagging or budgets, spending grows faster than value.
Internal teams must keep current systems running while learning new platforms, tooling and operating practices.
What we do
Each capability can be scoped on its own or combined into a larger programme of work.
Capability 01
Assess your estate and define the migration strategy, target platform and business case that fit your priorities.
Capability 02
Design and build a secure, scalable foundation with identity, networking, policies and guardrails in place before workloads move.
Capability 03
Migrate servers, databases and applications in planned waves, with tested cutover and rollback procedures.
Capability 04
Move suitable workloads to containers, managed databases and platform services to reduce operational effort, with little or no code change.
Capability 05
Establish visibility and control over cloud spending, usage and policy compliance from the first workload.

How we work
Why Hinkor
Every migration starts with discovery of your actual estate, so recommendations reflect your dependencies and costs, not a generic template.
Landing zones are delivered as infrastructure as code, so your environment is repeatable, auditable and fully owned by you.
We work across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud and recommend the platform that fits your workloads, skills and existing agreements.
Migrations end with runbooks and a structured handover to your team or Hinkor Managed Services, not just a completed cutover.
Engagement options
Start with a defined piece of work. If the scope is not clear yet, begin with an advisory engagement and decide the delivery shape afterwards.
Review your estate, identify migration candidates and receive a prioritized roadmap with a business case.
Establish a secure, governed cloud foundation as code, ready for your first workloads.

FAQ
If your question is not here, ask it directly.
Ask a direct questionWe start by discovering your applications, dependencies, usage and costs. Each workload is assessed for business value, complexity and risk, then grouped into migration waves. Early waves usually contain lower-risk workloads that validate the landing zone and build confidence before critical systems move.
Each wave has a tested cutover plan, a rollback procedure and an agreed maintenance window. Where possible, data is replicated continuously so downtime is limited to the final switchover. Business owners sign off after validation testing.
We work with AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. If you already have a provider or enterprise agreement, we build on it. If not, we compare options against your workloads, skills, compliance needs and commercial terms.
Cloud Migration & Modernization moves workloads to the cloud and adopts platform services such as containers and managed databases, with little or no code change. Application Modernization changes the application itself through refactoring or re-architecture. Many programs need both, and we plan them together.
Each migration includes a hypercare period, documentation and runbooks. You can then operate the environment with your own team, retain Hinkor for ongoing optimization, or move to our Managed Cloud & Infrastructure service.
