Secure cloud migration - validating concepts and architectures for a successful journey

The challenge

As an established B2C e-commerce platform, the client had previously built its platform in a traditional data center with managed services. After realizing the benefits of AWS cloud computing, the client embarked on an ambitious, long-term journey to move its operations to the cloud. With limited experience of cloud migrations, the client sought the expertise of an external partner to validate their ideas, concepts and approaches to ensure a secure and successful transition. This is where Alice&Bob.Company came in.

Our solution

Alice&Bob.Company initially planned a security assessment of the client's implementation concept, followed by a joint workshop on the multi-account structure. At the kick-off, however, it became clear that a more flexible approach was required to meet the client's specific needs. In two workshops, the client presented their migration concepts, strategies and approaches, while the Alice&Bob.Company team analyzed and validated these ideas in detail.
