Cloud migration
ALGOFACT moves applications running on on-premises servers or another provider to AWS, Azure, GCP or, when data residency requires it, to data centers inside the required country, including Türkiye. Before anything moves, we map the application inventory and dependencies, choose a migration strategy and monthly cost model for each system, and run every wave with acceptance tests and a rollback plan. The work is delivered from our engineering offices in Adana and Ankara TEKMER under an ISO 27001:2022 certified information security management system.

A migration is worth serious consideration when a hardware refresh is coming up, when capacity runs out at peak times, when backup and disaster recovery depend on one person’s knowledge, or when new AI and data projects need compute you can scale up and down.
Not every workload belongs in the cloud. A steady, heavily used workload can stay cheaper on your own hardware, license terms can tie software to a specific environment, and some data has to stay in a given country by law. At the end of the assessment our recommendation for some systems may be to leave them where they are, and for others to retire them altogether. We state that plainly in the report, with the reasoning.
Most migration scopes are a mix of these workloads.
The technical success of a migration depends on getting these four decisions right at the start.
GDPR, KVKK in Türkiye and sector regulators can restrict where personal or regulated data may be stored and how it may be transferred. We place each workload in a provider region or in-country data center that meets the requirement and document which data lives where.
A cloud bill does not shrink on its own. A tagging standard, budget alerts, cleanup of idle resources and a reservation plan for always-on workloads are set up as part of the migration.
The old environment stays up until the new one passes acceptance tests and an agreed observation period ends. If data is not synchronized both ways, the rollback path is rehearsed before cutover.
The downtime window is agreed with business owners. For systems that cannot tolerate a long outage, database replication reduces cutover to a short switch.
We are not tied to any provider. The choice depends on your data residency requirements, the licenses you hold, your team’s experience and the cost model. AWS, Azure and GCP are all on the table, as are in-country data centers where residency rules apply.
Each wave has a planned downtime window agreed with your business owners in advance. For systems that cannot accept an outage, data is synchronized ahead of time and the move becomes a short switchover.
The cost model is built before the move and budget alerts are live from day one. During the optimization period resources are scaled down to real usage, and any gap against the model is reported with its cause.
Yes. When KVKK or a public-sector requirement keeps data in the country, we plan the move to data centers hosted in Türkiye. ALGOFACT also holds the Kamu Bilişim Yetki Belgesi, which authorizes public-sector digital work in Türkiye.
Your team, or us if you prefer. Access and the operations guide are handed over; if you want continued operations support, we carry on under a managed support agreement.
The number of systems and databases, data volume, how well dependencies are documented, the acceptable downtime, how many applications need refactoring and compliance requirements. After the assessment we present the wave plan, expected duration and monthly running cost on the target platform in writing.
