## Systematic cloud transformation – consulting that works
The cloud has long been more than just a trend – it is the key to scalability, flexibility, and innovation. But getting there is complex. As your reliable IT partner, we support you with sound advice and practical implementation. Our approach: the proven 6R strategy as the basis for your cloud migration.
The 6R strategy – your options for cloud migration
The 6R strategy originates from the Gartner model for cloud migration, which describes various strategies for moving applications to the cloud. It helps to analyze existing IT landscapes and select the appropriate migration strategy for each application. The focus is not only on technical aspects, but also on economic and organizational factors.
The six strategies – rehost, replatform, refactor, retire, retain, and repurchase – cover a wide range of possibilities: from the rapid relocation of existing systems to complete redevelopment. This allows both short-term goals such as cost reduction and long-term requirements such as scalability and innovation capability to be taken into account.
We use the 6R strategy as a methodological framework to work with you to develop a sound cloud strategy. The focus is on your individual requirements – whether you want to migrate individual applications or modernize your entire IT infrastructure. Our consultants accompany you from analysis and planning to implementation and operation of your new cloud environment.
The application is moved directly to the cloud without any changes – quickly and cost-effectively.
We analyze your infrastructure and implement automated rehosting processes – including monitoring, security concepts, and operation as part of our managed services.
The application is migrated to a new platform without fundamentally changing the architecture.
Our experts identify suitable PaaS offerings, migrate databases, and ensure high-performance integration—including scaling and cloud-native features.
The application is being redesigned to leverage cloud-native advantages such as microservices and containers.
We design and implement modern applications—from architecture to implementation. Our teams work with Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines and support you through to productive operation.
Applications that are no longer needed are shut down.
We help you analyze your application portfolio, identify legacy systems, and reduce them in a targeted manner—for greater efficiency and lower costs.
The application remains in its current state for the time being—for compliance reasons or due to technical dependencies, for example.
We document, evaluate, and monitor your retain candidates and develop long-term strategies for future migrations.
The application will be replaced by a modern SaaS solution.
We advise you on the selection of suitable SaaS products, support data migration, and ensure smooth integration into your system landscape.
The SPIRIT/21 team motivated us and never just gave us technical advice—they really understood what matters to us in our day-to-day work.
