DXC Cloud Migration Services
Rehost, replatform or rearchitect your servers, applications and databases to public, private, hybrid or multicloud using DXC Cloud Migration Services. Our proven, scalable methodology includes discovery and analysis for migration assessment; strategy and planning for cloud design; and implementing the appropriate solutions. We will optimize and streamline your core infrastructure, as well as define and document performance, security and compliance goals that align with your regional regulatory requirements and industry standards.
Our "Clear Foundation" process captures and analyzes IT portfolio data from documents and interviews with senior decision-makers, enabling data-driven conclusions and auditability of recommendations.
Because of the complexity of application software, companies require a mature and sophisticated approach for migration to modern cloud environments. DXC handles this with a data-driven analysis service providing:
Create application efficiencies and scale leveraging this aspect of our migration treatment. DXC has treated 2 billion lines of code through our application transformation factories. We provide:
Set up your secure, scalable and well-organized environment, including best practices, tools and architecture, to host your applications.
DXC supports landing zones in AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud and Red Hat OpenShift, as well as our own. As an example, Talent, a leading provider of critical infrastructure in the UK and Ireland, tapped into DXC Technology’s expertise to move its Oracle ERP applications to Oracle Cloud and all other applications to Microsoft Azure. The company has said it intends to use the features that are now available in public cloud to modernize and further secure its applications.

❝Completing the data center migration has been an important confidence builder for the market and puts the technology stack on a much more resilient and better performing cloud-based infrastructure.❞
We use an iterative process based on Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). We start with a rapid analysis to build a backlog of applications, databases and servers (workloads) to be migrated and modernized through a series of sprint/wave activities. At initiation of the engagement, DXC will work with you to create a set of foundational program collateral that will guide the migration program. This includes the planned migration strategy/approach, definition of program roles, formation of the communication plan to keep all stakeholders informed and engaged, establishment of program governance and drafting of the data collection plan.
It takes a very different mindset and skillset to perform cloud migrations and transformations than it does to perform IT operations. In fact, a main reason that migrations fail is that IT attempts to run them as their operations programs are run, using IT operations resources.
DXC understands how to build an effective cloud migration strategy, drawing on our extensive application, database, and infrastructure experience and continually evolving best-practices into integrated processes and tools. We approach our work understanding what is often misunderstood by IT operations — for example, that you need to get business owners’ buy-in and commitment; that you must determine whether existing Configuration Management Database (CMDB) data is current and complete to support migration planning and execution; and that you have to understand and manage dependencies on landing-zone provisioning, network connectivity, business freeze-periods, third-party participation, business testing and so on. The DXC Service Delivery Program provides a wide array of capabilities and draws on our technical know-how for delivering services to enterprises.
Moving a business-critical application to the cloud takes careful planning, technical know-how and hard work — especially when the timeline to complete is tight. For example, Prometric, one of the world’s leading providers of testing and assessment solutions, needed to move a mission-critical mainframe application to cloud within six months, with little to no downtime, and have the application seamlessly replicate its previous capabilities and functionality. DXC completed the migration with three weeks to spare.
The opportunities to lower costs are many. You can reduce or eliminate data center costs such as buying hardware, leasing space and reducing operations staff. You can consolidate data centers or exit them entirely. You can de-provision resources on demand, and reduce operational cost by improving IT resource utilization. You also can reduce tech debt by moving applications and databases to current and supported platforms.
