NEW - BEYOND IS GOOGLE CLOUD’S Strategic Cyber Security Partner of the Year 2026
Cloud & Data Modernisation

Your legacy infrastructure is working against you.

VMware, Oracle, Teradata, and Cloudera contracts are expensive, inflexible, and blocking everything you want to do next. We migrate organisations to modern cloud foundations that remove vendor lock-in, reduce operational overhead, and create the platform for AI, data, and security to follow.

The infrastructure bill is growing, and the options are shrinking.

Legacy infrastructure was never built for modern workloads, meaning every attempt to move faster or deploy AI hits the same constraint. Migrating is complex, and the risk of getting it wrong is real. Most organisations know they need to move, but lack a clear picture of the dependencies and sequencing required to do it without stalling. Every month on legacy platforms is a month spent working around limitations that should not exist.

From here, you can build anything.

Modern infrastructure does not just remove a problem; it opens up everything you have been trying to get to. Success with Beyond means:

Cost Reduction

Exiting end-of-life technology contracts that inflate costs and limit your ability to scale.

Unblocked Innovation

Establishing the modern foundations required for your AI, data, and security programmes to actually run.

Operational Agility

Accessing workloads, capabilities, and speed that legacy environments simply cannot support.

Our Services

We move organisations off legacy infrastructure faster and with less risk than they can do themselves.

01

Cloud Migrations

02

Landing Zones & Architecture

03

Application Re-platforming

04

Platform Engineering

Map. Migrate. Build.

01

Map your estate

We start with a complete picture of your application dependencies, migration risk, and sequencing before we move a single workload. No guesswork. No surprises.

02

Migrate with precision

We execute using a methodology built from hundreds of migrations. Speed where you can. Caution where you must.

03

Build what comes next

Once your infrastructure is modern, we help you launch the AI, data, and security programmes that legacy constraints were holding back.

Why Beyond?

We close the gap between AI ambition and AI reality.

01

15 years of Google Cloud experience

When the target destination is Google, we bring unmatched engineering depth.

02

Proprietary precision

We use our own AI-powered tooling, AppsFlow, to automate estate mapping, radically reducing delivery time and risk.

03

Outcomes over platforms

We are leaner, faster, and focused on the commercial result of the migration, not just the technical transfer.

04

The complete journey

We support the full lifecycle, from complex migration and managed cloud operations right through to AI and security.

Proven at scale

Trusted by the most complex organisations in the world.

We work with organisations that have millions of users, petabytes of data, and zero tolerance for downtime. We know where migrations fail, and we have built our approach around avoiding it.

Done manually, mapping application dependencies and identifying risk takes months before a single workload moves. Our proprietary AI-powered accelerator, AppsFlow, maps your entire estate, surfaces dependencies, and gives your team a clear, sequenced migration plan before we touch anything.

The Outcome: A migration that starts faster, runs cleaner, and lands exactly where you expected it to.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a migration off VMware, Oracle, Teradata, or Cloudera actually take?

Timelines depend on the size of your estate and how tangled your application dependencies are, but most enterprise migrations run between six and eighteen months. The biggest driver of delay isn't the technical migration itself, it's discovering dependencies mid-project that should have been mapped upfront. That's why we map your entire estate with AppsFlow before we commit to a sequence or a timeline, so the plan we give you is one we can actually hold to. Talk to us and we'll give you a realistic estimate based on your specific environment.

Will migrating to Google Cloud cause downtime or disrupt our operations?

Not if it's sequenced properly. Most disruption during legacy migrations comes from moving workloads before their dependencies are understood, which causes outages nobody predicted. Our approach maps risk and sequencing before a single workload moves, and we deliberately go slower on the systems where getting it wrong is expensive and faster where it isn't. Organisations with millions of users and zero tolerance for downtime run on infrastructure we've migrated.

What is AppsFlow and how is it different from standard migration tooling?

AppsFlow is our proprietary AI-powered accelerator that maps your application estate, surfaces hidden dependencies, and produces a sequenced migration plan automatically. Done manually, this discovery work takes months before anything moves. AppsFlow compresses that timeline significantly and removes much of the guesswork that causes migrations to stall or fail partway through.

What's the difference between cloud migration and application re-platforming?

Migration moves your existing workloads to Google Cloud largely as they are. Re-platforming goes further, containerising and modernising the applications themselves so they run more efficiently and cost less once they're there. Most organisations need both: migration to get off legacy infrastructure, and re-platforming to make sure what lands on the other side is actually built for modern operations rather than a like-for-like lift and shift.

How much can we expect to save by exiting legacy infrastructure contracts?

It depends on your current contract terms and how much of your Oracle, Teradata, or Cloudera footprint is genuinely end-of-life versus still earning its keep. What we can tell you upfront is that most organisations we work with are paying for capability and flexibility they can't use because the underlying platform won't support it. Get in touch and we'll map your estate to show you where the cost reduction actually sits.
