A fixed data center exit date, met with room to spare

One of the 50 largest independent CPA firms in the country, with a small IT team and a hard deadline to be out of their data center. We moved their Azure and on-premises workloads to AWS using Terraform, so the environment could be rebuilt consistently rather than by hand.

Legacy infrastructure moved in under 100 days

We set up a migration factory rather than treating each workload as its own project, which is what made the timeline possible. Security and cost both improved on the way through, and the platform can scale now without another rebuild.
