Cloud migration services
If ageing servers, hard-to-support desktop software or a growing maintenance burden are getting in the way, Galvia can help you plan and deliver a safer move into cloud-hosted infrastructure and applications.
Tell us what is running today, what is changing, and any date driving the move. You do not need a fully written migration plan first.

When to bring us in
Perhaps remote access is awkward, infrastructure is ageing, or the application still depends on desktop assumptions. Tell us what is driving the need to move.
A critical workload still depends on a server, desktop setup or hosting approach that is becoming harder to maintain. The danger is often operational first, not dramatic failure on day one.
Teams need reliable access across sites, devices or field locations. The current application or data flow was not designed for that reality, and workarounds are building up.
The risk is not just technical. Leaders worry about downtime, lost data, unclear costs and a migration that drags on without improving anything important.
How we start
We start by clarifying the current setup, the useful destination and the order in which change should happen. That often means deciding what to rehost, what to improve and what should not be dragged forward at all.
Establish the application, data, integrations, users and operational constraints involved. Capture the pieces that can interrupt a migration if they are missed.
Decide whether the safest first step is rehosting, replatforming, application change or a staged hybrid arrangement. Scope, responsibilities and cutover expectations are agreed before implementation starts.
Plan backup, rollback, validation, user testing and the handover needed for the cloud-based environment to become the supported version.
An initial conversation is not a full cloud readiness audit. Detailed discovery, environment design and implementation are scoped separately.
Published project examples
These projects show Galvia working with existing systems, operational data and real-world constraints rather than greenfield assumptions.
ASM / desktop to cloud
Galvia helped modernise a legacy desktop customs workflow into a browser-based environment, reducing dependence on older ways of working while keeping the operational logic intact.

Galvia developed a shared platform for structural monitoring data, bringing information from field hardware into a usable environment for teams and decision makers.
Read the McFarland case studyPublished work provides context rather than a promise of a one-size-fits-all migration route.
The people behind the work
Cloud migration is often tied to software modernisation, data cleanup and operational change. Galvia works with existing business realities rather than pretending a full reset is always the answer.
We help you find a safer first move and make sure the handover is usable afterwards.
How Martin approaches a projectWhat the work can involve
Cloud migration is not one technical move. It can include infrastructure, application, data and process change. The right route depends on the age of the system, the operational needs around it and how much of the existing setup should be carried forward.
Review the current application, dependencies, data flows, user needs and operational constraints. Clarify what the business needs from the target state before choosing tools or platforms.
Move or reshape the application and the data it depends on. That may include rehosting, a partial rebuild, a browser-based replacement, or a phased hybrid arrangement.
Define how the move is validated, what happens if something fails, who signs it off and how the business works during transition and after go-live.
Where old architecture or brittle processes are the real blocker, we can combine migration work with targeted modernisation rather than lifting old problems into a new place. Related work also sits within our software development and cloud, data & analytics services.
A cloud move should not be treated as a vanity project. Sometimes the right first step is not a full migration but a smaller modernisation, dependency reduction or interface layer. Our cloud migration planning brief helps you test that before committing to delivery.

Cloud Migration Planning Brief
Use our six-page planning brief to record workloads, dependencies, migration risks, rollback needs and ownership. Take it into an internal discussion or a scoping call with Galvia.
Enter your details and go straight to the PDF. Marketing emails are optional.
Before you enquire
Not always. Some migrations are mainly about infrastructure or hosting. Others expose deeper application constraints and become modernisation projects. We help clarify which problem you actually have.
Sometimes yes. A cloud move might involve rehosting or incremental change rather than a full rebuild. The safe route depends on the application, dependencies, interfaces and operational expectations.
That constraint should shape the design from the start. We discuss cutover windows, parallel running, phased rollout and rollback expectations early rather than treating them as later details.
Not necessarily. The useful first step is understanding the workload and business constraints. Platform choice follows from that, not the other way round.
Yes. We can support a mixed delivery model provided responsibilities, access and decision ownership are clear.
Those dependencies are part of discovery and planning. A migration that ignores them is usually where risk hides.
Pricing depends on the level of discovery, design and implementation involved. We agree scope, capacity and fees before delivery work starts.
Tell us what is prompting the move
Tell us which system or workload is in scope, what is driving the change and any date you are working towards. We review each enquiry before arranging a call.
Commercial conversations are led by Martin Naughton, Galvia’s founder and solution architect. Meet Martin.
