Why Australian Businesses Choose Algosoft

Lift-and-shift, replatforming, and re-architecture migration to AWS or Azure

Australian businesses migrating to the cloud need a migration strategy matched to their actual workload, not a one-size-fits-all rebuild. Algosoft delivers cloud infrastructure migrations using lift-and-shift for time-sensitive moves, replatforming for moderate optimisation, and full re-architecture when an application genuinely needs cloud-native scalability.

Migrations for regulated workloads need to align with the ACSC Essential Eight mitigation strategies from day one, and government or financial services workloads often require IRAP assessment or APRA CPS 234 alignment respectively — we plan data residency and security controls into the migration design rather than retrofitting compliance after a cutover.

This service pairs with our cloud managed services and cloud cost optimization services for businesses managing their cloud footprint post-migration.
