Project Summary
Polcode performed due diligence and migrated an accounting firm's on-site server and databases to AWS, delivering a report on risks, improvements, and costs and providing ongoing maintenance and development support. The client is satisfied with Polcode's expertise and adoption of best practices for security and backups, though the engagement experienced missed deadlines and higher-than-estimated ongoing AWS costs. Communication and collaboration occurred via Jira, Google Meet, and Slack.
Key Challenges
- Transition from an on-site server to a cloud (AWS) solution
- Previous infrastructure team lacked timely versioning, security, and backup processes
- Need to migrate databases and hosting while reducing operational risk and improving compliance
Project Deliverables
- A short due-diligence report detailing current setup, risks, improvements, and cost estimates for AWS
- Migration of databases and hosting from on-premise servers to AWS (migration completed in April 2025)
- Ongoing maintenance and infrastructure development support
Project Solution
Polcode conducted due diligence on the client's on-premise infrastructure, produced a report outlining the current setup, risks, recommended improvements, and cost estimates, and executed a migration of databases and hosting to AWS in April 2025. After migration, Polcode has provided ongoing maintenance and infrastructure development support, with a small core team assigned to the client and collaboration through Jira, Google Meet, and Slack.
Project Outcome
- Improved security, control, and backup processes giving the client greater confidence in infrastructure management
- Increased hosting costs compared to the previous physical server (acknowledged by the client)
- Client satisfaction with Polcode's in-house knowledge and adherence to best practices
