Cloud Migration & Modernization

Seamlessly move from legacy infrastructure to a secure, agile cloud environment - with minimal disruption and maximum business value. 

The Challenge Legacy systems create risk and slow innovation.

Outdated infrastructure drives up cost, complexity, and operational risk. It limits agility, delays application rollouts, and makes scaling for peak demand difficult. Many organisations hesitate to migrate because of fears around downtime, hidden interdependencies, or spiralling costs.

Without a structured plan, cloud initiatives risk failing short - leaving businesses with stalled projects, technical debt, and systems that don't deliver promised outcomes.

Our Expertise. Phased migrations that reduce risk and deliver value.

FirstNet specialises in structured, low-risk cloud migrations that protect business continuity while unlocking cloud-native capabilities. We help organisations reduce technical debt, improve resilience, and scale more effectively through private, public, or hybrid cloud transitions.

  • Reduced downtime through replication, testing, and rollback plans
  • Lower total cost with optimised compute and storage
  • Hybrid flexibility combining private control with public elasticity
  • Enhanced security with stronger identity controls and segmentation
  • Local compliance with sensitive data hosted in South Africa

How We Deliver. Proven playbooks, certified expertise, tested frameworks.

At FirstNet, cloud migration is delivered through a disciplined methodology that balances business continuity with technical precision. We start with a detailed discovery process to understand your workloads, dependencies, and risks. From there, our engineers design secure landing zones aligned to compliance and performance goals.

Migration are executed in phased waves, rehearsed in advance, and supported by clear rollback plans. Once workloads are live, we modernise applications to take advantage of cloud-native features, and provide ongoing assurance through monitoring, cost governance, and continuous optimisation.
