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.
Rehosting workloads to AWS or Azure with minimal change for time-sensitive moves.
Moderate optimisation or full cloud-native rebuild based on application needs.
Security controls and data residency planned into the migration design.

Read GuideCommon questions about cloud migration in Australia
Cloud migration in Australia costs between AUD 30,000 for a basic lift-and-shift of a single application and AUD 450,000+ for a full enterprise migration with re-architecture.
Common strategies include lift-and-shift, replatforming, and full re-architecture, chosen based on application complexity and business timeline.
Yes, for regulated sectors. Migrations should align with ACSC Essential Eight and, where applicable, IRAP or APRA CPS 234 requirements.
Yes. We plan parallel-run cutovers that keep the legacy environment live as a fallback until the new environment is verified.
A single-application lift-and-shift takes 6–12 weeks. Multi-application replatforming takes 14–22 weeks. A full enterprise migration takes 27–30 weeks.
