What We Deliver

Every cloud capability you need, managed as one.

From initial migration to ongoing optimisation, we handle your entire cloud environment so your team can focus on the work that matters.

Cloud Migration

Structured migration of your on-premise infrastructure to AWS, Azure, or GCP. Zero data loss, minimal downtime, and a clear rollback plan.

Learn more

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform, Bicep, and CloudFormation deployments that make your infrastructure repeatable, auditable, and version-controlled from day one.

Learn more

Hybrid Cloud Architecture

Not everything belongs in the cloud. We design hybrid environments that put workloads in the right place for performance, compliance, and cost.

Real Results

Cloud projects we have delivered across the UK.

AWS Infrastructure Modernisation

A 40-person SaaS company was running ageing on-premise servers with no disaster recovery and unpredictable performance.

Migrated to AWS with auto-scaling, RDS, and CloudFront. Infrastructure costs reduced by 30 percent with 99.9 percent uptime achieved.

Azure DevOps Transformation

A software development firm needed to move from manual deployments to a fully automated CI/CD pipeline across their Azure environment.

Full Azure DevOps pipeline implemented in six weeks. Deployment frequency increased from monthly to daily with zero production incidents.

Multi-Cloud Strategy

A growing logistics business had workloads spread across AWS and Azure with no governance, rising costs, and security gaps.

Unified cloud governance framework deployed. Annual cloud spend reduced by over 22,000 pounds with full compliance visibility.

Start Your Cloud Journey

Not sure which cloud platform is right for you? We will tell you honestly.

Our cloud assessment looks at your current setup, your goals, and your budget. We will recommend the right platform and architecture, even if that means staying on-premise for now.

AWS Migration Strategy UK | IP Four Digital

Workload discovery, migration readiness assessments, and phased AWS migration execution for UK businesses.

Workload Discovery

Full inventory of on-premise and hosted workloads using AWS Application Discovery Service. Dependencies mapped, performance baselines captured, and migration complexity scored for every application.

Application DiscoveryDependency MappingComplexity Scoring

Migration Readiness Assessment

AWS Migration Readiness Assessment (MRA) conducted against the six dimensions of the Cloud Adoption Framework. Gaps identified and a readiness roadmap produced before migration begins.

MRACloud Adoption FrameworkReadiness Roadmap

Lift and Shift

Servers migrated to EC2 using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN). Minimal changes to applications. Fastest path to AWS for workloads that do not need re-architecting.

AWS MGNEC2 MigrationRehost

Re-Platform

Applications moved to managed AWS services with targeted optimisations. On-premise databases migrated to RDS. Web servers moved to Elastic Beanstalk or ECS. Benefits of managed services without full re-architecture.

RDS MigrationECSManaged Services

Re-Architecture

Monolithic applications decomposed into microservices. Legacy systems refactored to use Lambda, SQS, SNS, and API Gateway. Re-architecture scoped and phased to manage risk and deliver value incrementally.

MicroservicesLambdaAPI Gateway
