What if your cloud migration could move faster, smarter—and actually spark innovation while it's happening?
At Ollion, we’ve been leading enterprise migrations to the public cloud for over a decade. We helped pioneer the original Cloud Factory migration methodology—an approach that’s since been adopted (and adapted) by organizations worldwide. But we didn’t stop there.
Just like the cloud itself, we’ve evolved. More services. More flexibility. More ways to modernize. And now, with Generative AI in the mix, we’re accelerating every phase of the migration journey—without losing the consultative, human touch that sets us apart.
Migration Isn’t Just a Move—It’s a Moment
If you’re only thinking of migration as a one-time infrastructure shift, you’re missing a massive opportunity.
Today, we’re helping clients rethink what a migration can do. Our approach blends decades of hands-on experience with the latest AI tooling to make cloud transformation faster, lighter, and more forward-looking.
Let’s break it down—with some real-world examples.
AI-Enhanced Discovery & Planning: Where the Magic Starts
Before: Long planning meetings, inventory spreadsheets, manually diagrammed architectures.
Now: Import your existing infrastructure and let AI do the heavy lifting.
For one CPG retailer running hundreds of workloads on VMware, our team used GenAI to ingest their existing vSphere environment and auto-generate a high-level AWS architecture—complete with infrastructure-as-code templates. What typically takes a week of manual effort? We had a solid draft in hours. Our consultants then optimized the design to align with the client’s business and security needs.
During this early discovery and planning phase, AI is accelerating everything—from importing configuration data to recommending cloud-native designs. And while we still guide the overall strategy, these new tools slash the time it takes to go from "where do we start?" to "let’s build it right."
Smarter Grouping, Faster Migrations
You’ve got 500+ workloads. How do you turn that into a clean, executable migration plan without causing chaos—or endless rework?
Traditionally, workload grouping required deep tribal knowledge, a ton of manual input, and a whiteboard or two. Today, we combine inventory data, service mappings, and real-time network flow analysis with AI to propose first-pass migration groupings.
For a fintech client with tightly integrated services and compliance-sensitive apps, this meant identifying critical dependencies and generating migration waves in under a day. Our team still worked hand-in-hand with stakeholders to validate—but the days of building everything from scratch? Gone.
No more guesswork. No more sleepless nights wondering if you missed something.
Modernization That Moves with You
Let’s be honest: most modernization roadmaps feel like a giant question mark. Where do you start? What breaks when you touch it?
With AI in the loop, we make modernization less about rewriting the past—and more about building the future. For a SaaS company looking to move from .NET Framework to .NET Core and containers, our GenAI tools helped translate large codebases, flag compatibility risks, and auto-generate a prioritized refactor plan.
Our consultants still guide the big-picture strategy and help teams tackle thorny architecture decisions. But AI handles the grunt work—cutting weeks of effort down to days, and giving dev teams the freedom to focus on high-impact code, not compatibility fixes.
Cutovers Without Chaos
The moment of truth: cutover. It’s historically one of the most stressful phases of a migration.
But not anymore. With AI-enhanced observability and automation, we can monitor and control replication, cutover, and rollback processes in real time—predicting issues before they happen, and in some cases, resolving them automatically.
Whether you're a team of ten or a global enterprise with thousands of workloads, these AI-driven enhancements reduce manual oversight, lower risk, and accelerate time-to-value. More importantly, they give our consultants and your teams space to do what humans do best: adapt, collaborate, and make smart decisions that stick.
What This All Means for You
With Ollion, you’re not just checking a migration off your list—you’re building a modern, resilient, AI-enabled foundation for growth.
Yes, we use AI to go faster. But more importantly, we use it to go smarter—with your business goals front and center. You still get the personal guidance of expert consultants (we’re not going anywhere), but with far less time spent on tedious tasks and way more time focused on:
- Building cost and performance optimized workloads
- Upgrading legacy architectures
- Empowering your teams to own and evolve their cloud strategy
And as Ollion has grown in capabilities, we’ve passed those skills on to our clients—so they’re not just transformed, they’re enabled.
At Ollion, we don’t just migrate workloads—we clear the path for bold transformation. Backed by deep technical expertise and now powered by AI-driven precision, we help our clients move faster, think bigger, and take full control of their cloud journey. As our capabilities have grown, we’ve made it a point to pass that knowledge on—so our clients don’t just adopt modern infrastructure, they own it. Because real transformation isn’t just about reaching the cloud—it’s about having the confidence to lead from it.
Your turn: Ditch the “one day”—make it day one.
Celebrities reinvent themselves all the time. What’s stopping your business?
Whether you're chasing efficiency, scale, or something bold and new—AI is changing how organizations approach cloud transformation.
So, let’s flip the script and lead with questions, not answers:
