Five proven migration approaches
Every workload is different. We assess your estate and recommend the right strategy for each application using the AWS migration framework.
Rehost (Lift & Shift)
Move your workloads to AWS with minimal changes. Ideal for applications that need to migrate quickly with low risk. We use AWS Application Migration Service for automated server replication.
Re-platform (Lift & Reshape)
Make targeted optimisations during migration without changing the core architecture. Move from self-managed databases to Amazon RDS, or from VMs to containers on Amazon ECS.
Refactor (Re-architect)
Redesign your applications to be cloud-native. Break monoliths into microservices, adopt serverless patterns with AWS Lambda, and leverage managed services for maximum scalability.
Retire
Identify and decommission applications that are no longer needed. Our discovery phase frequently reveals 10–20% of workloads that can be safely retired, reducing licensing costs immediately.
Retain
Some workloads are best left on-premises — for now. We help you build a hybrid architecture with AWS Direct Connect and identify a future migration path when the time is right.

AWS Funded Programme
AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP)
The Migration Acceleration Program is an AWS-funded initiative designed to reduce the cost and complexity of migrating to the cloud. As an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, Smile IT Solutions can assess your eligibility and guide you through the entire process.
MAP provides credits, tooling and expert support across three phases: Assess, Mobilise and Migrate. Qualifying organisations typically receive significant AWS credits to offset migration costs.
