To ensure a smooth migration process, they desired a secure Landing Zone on Google Cloud Platform to leverage a secure environment.

Customer Feedback

“

"Through this engagement, Niveus helped us in migrating many servers to GCP, most of which were on AWS and a few on Azure. The team did an excellent job with the "as is" migration starting with the Landing Zone setup followed by the application and DB servers migrations. We are very impressed with the engineering capabilities of the Niveus team on this project."
