Lift-and-Shift (IaaS-based Migration)
- Migrated workloads to Azure Virtual Machines
- Minimal architectural changes
- Faster migration with limited transformation
Migrated a legacy on-premise biomedical platform to a containerised, Kubernetes-orchestrated architecture on Azure — enabling multi-tenant SaaS capability, 40–50% reduction in infrastructure overhead, auto-scaling, and vendor-neutral open-source design.

Challenges
Because of legacy on-premise infrastructure, the client faced growing operational and scalability constraints:
- High dependency on IT teams for deployments and infrastructure management
- Rising infrastructure costs and inefficiencies (high TCO)
- Limited scalability to support growing application demand
- Lack of flexibility in application architecture and deployment models
- Need to transition to a multi-tenant SaaS model for future growth
