What is Cloud Migration?
Cloud migration enables business transformation and accelerates the speed of doing business, freeing organisations from the constraints of on-premise infrastructure. the specific needs of the business should be considered in a cloud migration project. the first question to ask should always be – “what are the organisations reasons for considering cloud migration?”
Why Migrate to the Cloud?
Cloud migration is the switch from on-premise infrastructure to an on demand delivery of compute power, database storage, applications, and other resources through a cloud services platform.
When you migrate these systems to the cloud, you will access servers, storage databases, and a broad set of application services over the internet. cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft or Google own and maintain the network-connected hardware required for these applications while you provide and use what you need via a web application.
Cloud Native Approach
Cloud native, an agile approach for modern applications, employs microservices, containers, and key CNCF principles for scalability. AWS, with managed containers and serverless technologies, facilitates efficient development. This strategy ensures platform independence, cost-effective operations, and rapid innovation, empowering businesses to thrive in dynamic environments.

Case Study: Pulsion’s Collaboration With Accourt
Pulsion had the opportunity to spearhead a groundbreaking overhaul project for one of the UK’s biggest financial institutions, Accourt. The previously outdated and ill-performing Fraud Management system built on a SharePoint foundation had multiple challenges, some including a lack of scalability, user interface defects, and failed reporting. So, Pulsion’s dedicated teams implemented an avante-garde serverless solution hosted by our trusted Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner. The robust, cost-effective, and scalable replacement immediately revolutionised how Accourt’s customers interacted with their system.
Our dedicated team’s AWS serverless architecture provided scalability, enhanced overall system reliability across multiple availability zones, eliminated maintenance issues, and reduced infrastructure costs. Today, Accourt’s new serverless system handles 20,0000 transactions and accommodates over 2,000 users monthly without setbacks. The forefront system also passed multiple independent audits to highlight our team’s dedication and commitment to delivering optimal-quality products. Accourt’s Managing Partner, Vaughan Collie, continues to praise the system’s outcomes, robustness, and optimised efficiency.
