We prioritise systems for cloud modernisation and provide tailored upskilling for your team, ensuring a smooth transition and gradual move towards operational self-reliance. With NiuPay, your move to the cloud becomes an opportunity for growth and innovation, tailored to your organisation's pace and capabilities.
A cloud modernisation journey typically involves two or more common strategies
Lift & Shift
Rehosting
- Involves moving applications and data from on-premises infrastructure directly to the cloud with minimal or no modifications.
- Often chosen for its simplicity and speed, it’s a starting point for organisations beginning their cloud journey.
Refactoring
Re-platforming
- This approach involves making some level of modification to the applications to take advantage of cloud-native features like scalability and performance but does not involve a complete overhaul.
- Ideal for organisations looking to optimise their applications for the cloud environment without significant redevelopment.
Re-architecting
Revamping
- Entails a comprehensive modification of the existing application, often transforming monolithic architectures into microservices to fully leverage cloud capabilities.
- This strategy is chosen for long-term agility and innovation, especially for applications requiring scalability, resilience, and frequent updates.
Retirement
Decommissioning
- Identifying IT assets that are no longer useful and can be turned off during the migration. This helps in cost-saving and streamlining IT portfolios.
- It involves a strategic review to determine which applications and data are essential and which can be retired.
Retaining
Hybrid Model
- Involves keeping some applications or data on-premises while migrating others to the cloud. This could be due to regulatory, compliance, or technical reasons.
- It results in a hybrid cloud environment where cloud services are integrated with on-premises infrastructure.
Repurchasing
Moving to a SaaS model
- Transitioning from traditional applications to cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) solutions.
- Common for applications like email, CRM, and collaboration tools where cloud-based versions offer more features and flexibility.
What are the short-term benefits of modernisation through cloud?
1. Immediate Operational Efficiency
Cloud migration brings about enhancement in operational efficiency, crucial for government bodies looking to modernize services quickly and effectively.
2. Cost Optimisation
Early cost benefits emerge as public sector entities transition from capital-intensive infrastructure to a scalable, operational expenditure model, reducing the need for physical maintenance and upgrades.
3. Flexibility and Responsiveness
The cloud's scalability allows government agencies to adapt swiftly to changing demands and workloads, a key factor in public service delivery.
4. Collaboration and Service Accessibility
Cloud services enhance collaboration and enable remote access, facilitating improved service delivery and internal communication, particularly relevant in the evolving work landscape.
5. Security Enhancements
Migrating to the cloud allows public sector entities to leverage advanced security measures inherited from hyperscale cloud vendors, enhancing the protection of sensitive government data.
What about the long-term benefits?
1. Strategic IT Evolution
Over time, cloud migration catalyses the transformation of IT departments from maintenance-focused to strategically driven, aligning with long-term government digital strategies.
2. Eco-Friendly Operations
Cloud infrastructures align with sustainability goals, a growing concern for public sector entities, by offering more energy-efficient alternatives to traditional data centres.
3. Innovation and Continuous Improvement
The cloud enables access to cutting-edge technologies like AI, machine learning, and data analytics, fostering an environment of ongoing innovation critical for modern government operations.
4. Long-term Financial Sustainability
While initial cloud adoption requires investment, the long-term financial returns are substantial due to lower operational costs, enhanced service efficiency, and a better overall return on investment.
5. Robust Disaster Recovery and Continuity
Cloud platforms offer advanced solutions for disaster recovery and business continuity, ensuring minimal service disruption for essential government functions in any scenario.
6. Adaptability to Policy and Demographic Changes
Cloud infrastructure empowers government agencies to quickly adapt to policy shifts and evolving demographic needs, maintaining relevance and effectiveness in public service delivery.
