CTO For Hire was subcontracted by an agency to provide technical leadership during a cloud migration project.

The Node JS + MongoDB application was to be migrated from an unmanaged AWS EC2 environment to a unified, centrally managed Azure App Services environment. The project involved stakeholders across 4 different organisations and required careful consideration for the handling of healthcare and PII Data.

CTO For Hire provided:

• Initial technical and risk assessments along with recommendations for mitigations
• Technical & product plans for the cloud migration
• Managed clear lines of ownership & accountability in a complex multi-stakeholder environment.

The project successfully:

• Migrated from AWS to Azure with minimal downtime (as planned & communicated)
• Addressed several security risks raised during initial assessment
• Positioned the HealthTech application for future R&D post-migration
• De-risked the businesses core service offering by more proactively managing source code, production environments & release processes.

CTO For Hire maintains a long-term relationship with the agency post-project.
