Migrate to AWS at Half the Cost of the Big Firms. Zero Downtime.

Your legacy system is costing more every quarter. We’ve helped organizations cut infrastructure costs 30–60% by migrating to AWS — with Terraform IaC, zero-downtime cutover, and an India-based engineering team that costs a fraction of US consultancies.

Who This Is For

Built for Mid-Market Organizations With Legacy Debt

You have 5 - 200 workloads running on-premises or in a colocation facility

Your system runs on .NET Framework, PowerBuilder, Java EE, or COBOL

You don't have a CMDB or complete dependency map (we build it)

You have complex Microsoft or Oracle licensing and don't know what transfers

You need a partner who leads strategy, not just follows instructions

Budget matters — you want AWS-certified delivery without big-firm overhead

Why legacy systems become a strategic liability

Your Legacy System Is Not Just Slow. It’s Compounding Risk.

Every quarter a legacy system runs on-premises, the gap between what it costs to maintain and what a cloud-native replacement would cost widens. Scaling is manual. Security patches require downtime. Engineers who understand the codebase are retiring. And every new feature request — AI, analytics, API-first integrations — gets harder to ship on top of architecture that was never designed to carry it.

The question is not whether to migrate. It’s whether to do it now — on your terms, with zero downtime — or later, under pressure, with a shrinking window.

AWS migration methodology

Three Patterns. One Rule: Zero Downtime.

Not every migration needs the same approach. The right pattern depends on your timeline, technical debt, and how much of the existing architecture is worth keeping. We use three — and we’ll tell you which one applies to your system before any work begins.

Re-host (Lift & Shift)

Move the application as-is to AWS with minimal code changes. Fastest time to cloud. Right for workloads where getting off on-premises is the priority and optimisation can follow. We use Amazon EC2 or ECS Fargate as the landing zone, with Terraform IaC defining every resource. Migration time measured in weeks, not months.

When to use

Urgent data centre exit, licence cost reduction, DR/HA improvement needed now.

Re-platform

Move to AWS with targeted changes — swap the database engine, containerise the application, replace a managed service component. The business logic stays intact; the infrastructure gets modern. This pattern works equally well for PowerBuilder, ASP.NET Web Forms, ASP.NET MVC, and WCF (.NET Framework) applications — where the business logic is proven but the infrastructure is the liability. A particularly cost-effective path: re-platform older .NET Framework applications to .NET 8+ running on Linux-based Amazon ECS Fargate, moving the database to Amazon Aurora or RDS. Migrating from Windows Server to Linux on AWS removes the Windows licensing overhead — a meaningful cost reduction on larger fleets. Typical infrastructure cost reduction: 30–60% post-migration.

When to use

Existing codebase is defensible. Business logic is complex and proven. Infrastructure is the liability, not the application.

Re-architect (Cloud-Native Rebuild)

Redesign for the cloud from the ground up. Monolith broken into microservices on ECS Fargate. APIs rebuilt with API Gateway and Lambda. Data layer redesigned with Aurora, DynamoDB, or Glue CDC depending on throughput requirements. This takes longer but produces a platform that can carry AI, analytics, and new product lines without a second migration in three years.

When to use

Existing architecture is a blocker to growth. Technical debt exceeds the cost of a rebuild. New capabilities (AI, real-time analytics) are on the roadmap.

The Migration Process

How a Migration Actually Runs - From First Call to Production.

Assess

Application dependency mapping – what talks to what.
Database schema analysis and migration complexity scoring.
Infrastructure audit — on-premises footprint, licensing, compliance requirements.

PRIMARY OUTPUT

Migration pattern recommendation (Re-host / Re-platform / Re-architect), effort estimate, and risk register.

Mobilise

AWS Landing Zone setup with Terraform IaC — VPC, subnets, security groups, IAM roles.
Target architecture design.
Data migration strategy (cutover vs. CDC continuous replication).
Pilot migration of one non-critical workload to validate the approach before touching production.

PRIMARY OUTPUT

Testing the foundational rails before production data movement.

Migrate & Modernise

Phased migration with cutover windows sized to your risk tolerance.
Zero-downtime approach using blue-green deployments or traffic shifting.
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for database cutovers with Change Data Capture (CDC) to keep source and target in sync until cutover.
Post-migration validation, monitoring setup (CloudWatch), and handover documentation.

PRIMARY OUTPUT

Handover to Ops and realization of cloud-native efficiencies.

AWS MAP NOTE

AWS funding may be available for qualifying migrations.

AWS Migration Acceleration Programme (MAP) provides funding for qualifying migrations. MAP eligibility requires specific workload thresholds and an AWS Migration Competency holder as the delivery partner. Matellio is actively building toward Migration Competency. Ask our team about current funding options for your migration.

What We Migrate — Technology Stack Coverage

If It's Running On-Premises, We've Probably Migrated It.

Migration is not one problem. It’s ten — application compatibility, database engine differences, networking reconfiguration, security posture, compliance documentation, and cutover sequencing. Here’s what our engineering team has direct experience migrating:
