Approach
Innova’s cloud migration approach follows a proven methodology designed to mitigate risks and accelerate time-to-value. From assessments to implementation, we prioritize security and compliance to maximize the benefits of cloud adoption.
Our approach to cloud migration involves three key phases: Plan, Migrate, & Run
Our cloud experts conduct a gap analysis to assess existing infrastructure and anticipate the costs of transitioning to the cloud. Our strategy helps determine the applications that need migration and the overall look of the infrastructure. We collaborate to understand each business’s strategic vision for the cloud, establish a business case, and create a tangible migration plan. Importantly, our plan also factors in the technical requirements of all the software, business SLAs, the impact of cloud operations on performance, and new regulatory requirements.
We execute our migration plan with a holistic, structured, and agile cloud migration factory approach to ensure an accelerated end-to-end cloud migration.
First, we modernize existing applications for the cloud, create new cloud native applications, and transform the architecture and infrastructure. Next, we identify potential issues and roadblocks associated with migration, validate cloud improvements, and conduct acceptance testing. Finally, we utilize scripting engines, advanced automation, solution accelerators, and templates provided by hyperscalers to expedite the journey to the cloud.

Our Key Capabilities:
Data Migration
Our industry expertise and technology solutions streamline data migration, making it cost-effective and efficient. Before migrating data to the cloud, we evaluate business priorities such as data consolidation, backup, disaster recovery, cost-saving lift and shift, advanced analytics, or performance and capacity issues with large on-premises installations.
Cloud Data Migration Strategy & Planning
After establishing the business case, we identify data locations, tackle data silos, and resolve quality issues before cloud migration. Our experts evaluate data volume, timelines, workloads, and security requirements during migration.
We prioritize workloads, analyze the target environment, craft migration plans, conduct a pilot test, and modify our strategy based on pilot outcomes. This method accelerates business value and fosters data-driven business transformation. Our compliant services guarantee full backups and business continuity.
Infrastructure Migration
Infrastructure migration requires careful planning and phased execution. Our experts create an effective seven-phase plan: discovery & analysis, strategy & planning, infrastructure build, pre-migration, migration execution, operation hand-off, and decommissioning, as shown in the
Phase 1—Discovery & Analysis: Begins by analyzing infrastructure, mapping application dependencies, conducting site audits, performing workload analysis, and reviewing disaster recovery impacts. We evaluate on-premises costs to understand existing infrastructure maintenance.
Phase 2—Strategy & Planning: Outline the migration strategy and define a cohesive cloud architecture that includes servers, interfaces, applications, networks, and storage.
Phase 3—Infrastructure Build: Establish the cloud environment, provision cloud services, and implement security policies and network structures.
Phase 4—Pre-Migration: Ensure network (open ports, configure firewalls), storage (create backup and shared drives), and cloud compute readiness; develop a detailed move plan and cutover runbook for migration.
Phase 5—Migration: Our phased infrastructure migration services ensure clients benefit from a scalable, resilient cloud environment while securing mission-critical data. After migration, we offer long-term support and explore innovative options to enhance performance.
Application Migration
Migrating an application to a new environment presents challenges. In defining a migration strategy, we consider the application’s dependencies, technical requirements, cost constraints, and security needs. A thorough assessment phase is essential for successful migrations. Innova’s framework helps evaluate on-premises workloads for cloud migration through four key steps:
Step 1: Application Analysis - We collect portfolio data for target applications to establish key characteristics.
Step 2: Cloud Suitability & Placement—We analyze input data to assess cloud suitability, optimize the landing zone, and determine migration path and security needs.
Step 3: Migration Pattern Decision - We prioritize applications through a tool-driven analysis based on benefits, functionality, complexity, and migration efforts. Applications are categorized based on their cloud suitability, as shown in the following diagram. This aligns with our 6R cloud migration approach: Re-host, Re-platform, Refactor, Re-architect, Retire, and Retain.
Step 4: TCO Analysis & Business Case—Based on the migration path, we create the migration roadmap and assess its impact on the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Platform Migration
Maintaining legacy platforms can hinder an organization’s competitive edge. While DevOps, CI/CD, and Microservices are robust, deploying them is challenging for organizations incurring technical debt. To tackle this, we help deploy high-value platforms that meet modern performance, cost, and reliability needs.
Innova’s modernization strategy includes analysis, validated communication, and prioritization models to maximize cloud native practice investments. Our migration services help convert legacy software or infrastructure to modern equivalents, often involving rewriting legacy applications, migrating workloads to the cloud, or modernizing underlying infrastructure.
