What is cloud strategy consulting?

Assessing your current IT environment, determining which workloads are ready to move, selecting the right cloud model, and building a phased migration roadmap with cost modeling and governance planned in advance.

The Problem We Solve

The cloud promise is real — but only with a plan

Moving without a plan is how businesses end up with orphaned workloads, bill shock, and security gaps.

Workloads moved without a plan, left orphaned and unmanaged

Unpredictable cloud bills with no cost governance in place

Security and compliance gaps introduced during rushed migration

Vendor lock-in from choosing a platform before assessing fit

No clear answer on which workloads should move, and which shouldn't

Migration delays caused by undiscovered application dependencies

Wrong choices at the start are expensive later. CoreGenix answers the hard questions first — which workloads move, public or private or hybrid, and what it will actually cost.

How We Work

End-to-end cloud strategy, in six phases

A structured engagement that takes you from current state to a confident, low-risk cloud roadmap — with a concrete deliverable at every stage.

The 6 Rs

The 6 Rs of cloud migration

Every workload gets classified into one of six migration strategies during the readiness analysis phase.

Rehost — Lift-and-shift

Move the workload to the cloud as-is, with minimal changes. Fastest path to migration, ideal for time-boxed data center exits.

Replatform — Lift, tinker & shift

Make small optimizations during migration — such as moving to a managed database — without changing the core architecture.

Repurchase — Move to SaaS

Replace an existing application with a SaaS equivalent, reducing infrastructure and maintenance overhead entirely.

Refactor — Re-architect

Redesign the application to be cloud-native — highest effort, but unlocks scalability, resilience, and cost efficiency.

Retain — Keep on-premises

Some workloads stay put — due to compliance, latency, or cost reasons — and are revisited in a later phase.

Retire — Decommission

Unused or redundant systems are switched off entirely, removing cost and risk from the environment before migration.

Compare

Which cloud model fits your business?

Public, private, and hybrid cloud each solve different problems — the right fit depends on workload, compliance, and cost.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about cloud strategy, migration, and cost.

What is a cloud strategy?

A cloud strategy is a plan that defines which workloads move to the cloud, where they go (public, private, or hybrid), how they get there, and at what cost and risk. It aligns technology decisions with business goals before any migration begins.

How long does cloud migration take?

Timelines depend on complexity. Simple, self-contained workloads can migrate in a few weeks, while full data center estates with dependencies typically take several months across phased waves defined in the migration roadmap.

How much does cloud consulting cost in India?

Cloud consulting costs vary by scope, workload count, and complexity. CoreGenix offers a free cloud readiness assessment to scope the engagement before providing a fixed quote.

What are the 6 Rs of cloud migration?

The 6 Rs of cloud migration are Rehost (lift-and-shift), Replatform (minor optimization), Repurchase (move to SaaS), Refactor (re-architect for cloud-native), Retain (keep on-premises), and Retire (decommission unused systems).

Is Azure or AWS better for my business?

Neither is universally better — the right choice depends on your existing tech stack, compliance needs, team skills, and cost structure. CoreGenix provides vendor-neutral assessments to recommend the platform that fits your specific workloads.

What is a hybrid cloud strategy?

A hybrid cloud strategy combines public cloud and private/on-premises infrastructure, allowing sensitive or latency-critical workloads to stay on-premises while other workloads scale on public cloud, connected through a unified management layer.

Can CoreGenix help with cloud migration for regulated industries?

Yes, CoreGenix builds cloud strategies with governance and compliance mapped in from day one, including alignment to ISO 27001 and India's DPDPA, for regulated sectors like BFSI, healthcare, and government.
