Cloud migration & modernization

Move your applications and workloads to AWS with a structured approach that reduces disruption and improves performance. We also modernize legacy systems so they scale more efficiently in the cloud.

Who it is for

Businesses running on on-premises servers, local data centres or another cloud provider, and teams already on AWS whose older architecture is hard to scale or maintain.

Cloud Dimex migrates applications, databases, workloads and existing infrastructure from traditional environments or other cloud platforms to AWS.

For businesses already in the cloud, we modernize legacy architectures by introducing managed services, containers, serverless technologies and designs that scale with demand.

From our base in Lagos we move workloads for businesses across Nigeria and West Africa. Every migration plan covers security from day one and what the new environment will cost to run. Book a consultation to plan your move.

How we work

8 steps, each agreed with you before we start. You get a written scope, timeline and cost estimate early in the engagement.

  1. Step 1: Discovery and workload assessment

    We inventory servers, applications, data and their current costs.

  2. Step 2: Application and dependency mapping

    We find what talks to what, so nothing breaks when it moves.

  3. Step 3: Migration strategy

    Each workload gets a path: rehost, replatform or refactor.

  4. Step 4: Target AWS architecture design

    The destination environment is designed before anything moves.

  5. Step 5: Migration planning and testing

    Cutover plans, rollback steps and test migrations are agreed.

  6. Step 6: Workload migration

    Workloads move in planned waves, often outside business hours.

  7. Step 7: Modernization and optimization

    Where it pays off, we move to managed and serverless services.

  8. Step 8: Post-migration validation and handover

    We confirm performance and data integrity, then hand over.
