Enterprise-Grade Cloud Infrastructure
Without the Enterprise-Sized Headache.

We migrated Service Group to Azure-native infrastructure - Terraform-managed, .NET custom software, and a modernized SQL Server data layer built to last.

// the challenge

Technical debt doesn't announce itself loudly - it just makes everything harder.

Service Group needed to modernize. The existing infrastructure had accumulated the kind of technical debt that doesn't announce itself loudly - it just gradually makes every release harder, every new feature more expensive, and every conversation about scaling more uncomfortable.

Moving an enterprise system to the cloud is one of those undertakings where the gap between "we have a plan" and "we have infrastructure that works in production" can be wide and expensive. The goal was to land on cloud-native infrastructure that would support the business for years, not just get off the old hardware.

// the approach

Cloud-native infrastructure, built right the first time.

Infrastructure as Code with Terraform

Every environment reproducible from code. No snowflake servers, no "I forget how we configured that one." Terraform kept infrastructure documented, versioned, and deployable consistently across environments.

Azure as the Cloud Target

Azure fit Service Group's existing Microsoft ecosystem and compliance requirements. We designed an architecture that made sense for the workloads - not a lift-and-shift that replicated old problems in a new location.

.NET Custom Software

The business logic that ran the company needed to move - and some of it needed rebuilding. We migrated what could be preserved and rebuilt what needed improvement, using .NET throughout for consistency with the existing platform.

SQL Server Data Layer

Data migration at enterprise scale takes more than pointing a connection string at a new server. We managed the migration carefully, validated data integrity, and built the persistence layer to handle the query patterns the business actually relied on.

// the outcome

Azure

native infrastructure - Terraform-managed

Azure-native infrastructure with infrastructure-as-code, custom .NET software, and a modernized data layer.

Every environment reproducible from code, business logic migrated and rebuilt on .NET, and an enterprise SQL Server data layer tuned to the workloads Service Group actually runs.
