Cloud Transformation for SMBs


You’ve Outgrown What You Started With

That cloud environment—or on-prem setup—that worked in year one is now holding you back. Performance issues, security gaps, and tech debt are piling up fast.


You’re Wasting Time and Money, and You Know It

Whether it’s sky-high bills, zombie resources, or systems duct-taped together, you know things could be better. But fixing it feels risky without the right partner.


You’re Not Sure Where to Start—So Nothing Changes

Your team is busy just keeping things running. The idea of migrating or modernizing sounds good… until you think about the time, risk, and complexity. So the status quo sticks around.

Cloud Transformation Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive, Slow, or Scary

You might assume moving to the cloud—or fixing what’s already there—requires enterprise budgets, big teams, or long, painful projects. But it doesn’t. We’ve helped growing teams make real progress without overhauling everything or pausing their business. Most SMBs are surprised by how doable (and affordable) this can be with the right partner.

We’ve done this for companies big and small—and we bring that experience to every project:

  • AWS Partner with deep experience across migrations, modernization, and optimization
  • Helping teams transform since the early days of AWS—we’ve grown with the cloud
  • Worked across industries: healthcare, tech, media, nonprofit, and more
  • We don’t overbuild—our solutions are lean, scalable, and designed for real-world budgets
  • You’ll work with cloud experts who know how to move fast without breaking things

A Proven Plan to Move Fast Without Breaking Things

You don’t need to guess, duct tape tools together, or start from scratch. Our migration and modernization process is designed to move quickly while reducing risk—and it’s tailored for growing teams like yours.

The first step in any transformation is clarity. We evaluate your current infrastructure—whether it’s on-prem, in the cloud, or both—to understand where you are today, what’s working, and what’s getting in the way. We meet with your team to surface known pain points, hidden risks, and business goals. This isn't just technical—we align the tech with your strategy to identify where migration, modernization, or cleanup will create the most value.

Objectives
  • Build a shared understanding of your infrastructure and workloads
  • Identify security, cost, and performance issues
  • Map opportunities for modernization or simplification
Activities

  • Interview stakeholders to align business and technical priorities
Typical Deliverables
  • Cloud maturity assessment
  • Risk and gap analysis
  • Business-aligned modernization opportunities map
  • Summary brief to guide next steps

Once we understand where you are, we work with you to design a realistic, right-sized transformation plan. This includes architecture decisions, sequencing migrations, identifying modernization priorities, and ensuring the strategy fits your team’s capacity and your business goals.

We focus on practical choices—not theoretical best practices. Whether you’re dealing with legacy systems, underperforming cloud setups, or messy deployments, we’ll create a phased roadmap that reduces risk, avoids overbuilding, and moves you forward with confidence.

After implementation, we don’t disappear. We rigorously test what we’ve built, migrated, or modernized to ensure it's stable, secure, and performs exactly as expected. This includes technical validation, stakeholder review, and real-world usage testing.

If something’s not right, we fix it—no surprises, no finger-pointing. We treat your environment like it’s our own and don’t move forward until your team is confident and everything is running as it should.

Objectives
  • Ensure the new environment is stable, secure, and correct
  • Validate that business needs are met and expectations aligned
  • Address any issues before moving into steady-state
Activities
  • Run validation tests for performance, security, and availability
  • Conduct UAT with internal teams and business stakeholders
  • Adjust configurations based on test results or feedback
Typical Deliverables
  • Validation report and performance benchmarks
  • User Acceptance Testing (UAT) feedback summary
  • Post-implementation change log
  • Final readiness checklist

After go-live, we don’t vanish. We stick around to support your team, monitor your environment, and help you get the most from your investment. Whether it’s resolving issues quickly, trimming unnecessary spend, or rolling out improvements—we’re here to help.

As your business evolves, we can recommend changes to keep your infrastructure aligned. That could mean scaling up, simplifying further, or applying new AWS services as needs change. You're never stuck—we’re your long-term cloud partner.

Polymath Services helped us to get up to speed quickly on AWS and enabled us to migrate our solution from a monolithic architecture on-premise to serverless/microservice architecture. They were well versed in various languages and frameworks (eg, PHP, JavaScript, MySQL, DynamoDB, docker, etc). They finished the project in a timely manner, with competent documentation, and within budget. I would definitely recommend them to any startup looking to grow quickly and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Security and compliance are integral to every migration we perform. At Polymath Services, we follow best practices and proven frameworks to protect your systems and data. Here’s how we ensure your migration meets the highest standards:

  1. Adherence to AWS Well-Architected Principles We build your cloud environment according to the AWS Well-Architected Framework, with a specific focus on the security pillar. This ensures that your workloads are protected against evolving threats.

  2. Least-Privilege Access
    To minimize risks, we implement the principle of least-privilege access. Only the users and systems that absolutely need access to resources are granted permissions, reducing the potential for unauthorized access.

  3. Guided Migration Options
    For businesses with strict compliance or operational requirements, we offer guided migration options. Your team performs the migration with our expert guidance, keeping full control over production data and ensuring internal policies are upheld.

  4. Post-Migration Compliance
    After migration, we assist in configuring ongoing compliance checks and monitoring using AWS tools like AWS Config and Security Hub. This ensures your environment remains secure and aligned with industry regulations.

At Polymath Services, we empower you to operate confidently in the cloud, ensuring you can take full control of your environment if that’s your preference. Here’s how we make that possible:

  1. Adherence to Industry Standards
    All solutions we design adhere to the AWS Well-Architected Framework and other industry best practices. This ensures your environment is reliable, secure, and optimized for long-term success.

  2. Full Automation
    Everything we build is fully automated using Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This approach not only increases efficiency but also ensures every change is auditable and reproducible.

  3. Comprehensive Documentation and Replicability
    We provide detailed documentation for everything we deploy. Combined with automation, this allows you to replicate or modify the environment independently whenever needed.

  4. Guided Deployments to Production
