Power-up your cloud migration for undisrupted hypergrowth. Switch to a secure and fully optimized cloud adoption, with Oracle.
Did you know - 94% of enterprises were reported to have adopted cloud services by the end of 2028
With data explosion alongside rapid digitization of operations, enterprises are fast moving their IT infrastructure to the Cloud to secure and optimize their prevailing business IT operations. Indeed, the old way of doing business does not enable enterprises with the flexibility to compete in the digital age. Periodic patch-ups are not adequate anymore. Legacy IT management tools are no longer flexible enough to deliver the scalability and agility businesses require today to grow or compete.
Moreover, the proliferation of data created by the new digital market is pushing the cost and complexity of data center storage to new levels. Businesses that continue to use legacy systems and data-management solutions put extreme strain on their existing capabilities, making it harder to extract value from data. For this reason, the cloud is quickly becoming a necessity for businesses, with many organizations looking to shift applications and the databases they rely on, out of the data center.
The Oracle Cloud Migration: A benchmark for truly successful and sustainable digital transformations
Oracle Cloud Migration from Cloud4C is a fully-managed service that provides enterprises high performing, self-service experience for migrating databases to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Oracle automated tools along with Cloud4C proprietary tools make the process of moving a company’s on-premises database to the Oracle Cloud seamless and efficient, with virtually no downtime. The Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA)-approved tools as well as Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM) ensure seamless migrations.

Migrate to Oracle Cloud with the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF)
The full value of cloud is appreciated by approaching it as an integral component of a holistic strategy in digital transformation. The Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) is a well-considered compilation of documentation, implementation guidance, best practices, and tools under the expert leadership of Cloud service providers like Oracle, intuitively designed to accelerate your cloud adoption journey.
There are six stages of the Cloud Adoption Framework:
Strategy
Start by understanding your unique business objectives to identify how Oracle can support you.
Plan
Start aligning your people, stakeholders, processes, and technology to chalk out your cloud adoption plan.
Ready
This is where you prepare your environment using Oracle. Once you are prepared, begin to deploy the basic building blocks of migration.
Adopt
This stage has two parts – migrate and innovate. You can simply migrate your on-prem environment to the cloud or innovate to take optimal advantage of cloud-native technologies to modernize your digital state.
Govern
Create smart benchmarks and monitor your Cloud environment through data collection and alerts.
Manage
Make sure to follow the best practices to track your performance and create resilience to recover from any issues.

Stages of Oracle CAF: Implemented and Managed by Cloud4C
Companies that are unaware of the mistakes made in their cloud adoption will overspend by 20% to 50%. (Gartner)
Let us walk you through the successive stages of our cloud migration process.
-
Stage 1: Define and Design the Correct Strategy
-
This is the first stage and very crucial according to us. It includes understanding your business closely and what its key success factors are. Here are the steps we follow in this stage:
Step 1: Understand Business Motivation
Cloud4C migration experts assess the current landscapes, applications and workloads. We guide business leaders and managers to move to the cloud with End of Support (EoS) of mission-critical technologies and regulatory compliance changes.
Step 2: Identify Business Outcomes
We design a DB migration plan based on the scope, blueprint, strategy and assessment analysis. We develop a data migration summary report with the result of migration verification, deviation and acceptance criteria.
FISCAL
- Increased Revenue
- Optimized Costs
AGILITY
- Faster Time-to-Market
- Swift response to change
PERFORMANCE
- High Availability
- Zero data loss and minimal disruptions to business
SECURITY & COMPLIANCE
- Continuous Compliance
- Strict adherence to regional and industry specific regulations
REACH AND CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT
- Global access Compliance to Data Sovereignty laws/rules
- Faster time to meet customer stated/unstated needs
Step 3: Build the Business case
Moving to the cloud provides enterprises with stronger fiscal health and benefits including physical asset recovery, operation cost reduction, cost avoidance, soft-cost reduction, headcount reductions and capital expense reductions. With in-depth understanding and expertise in migrations, our expert team at Cloud4C lays out all the necessary plans to build the business case for cloud.
Step 4: Formulate Vision, Cloud strategy and Adoption plan
As part of the Oracle Cloud Adoption Framework, Cloud4C experts provide enterprises with a clear and defined cloud strategy developed in line with the vision. The adoption plan is then crafted to achieve the desired business outcomes.
-
Stage 2: Plan the Journey
-
The key role that cloud adoption plays is to transform the cloud adoption strategy into a reality for enterprises. With the help of the cloud adoption plan, Cloud4C’s team of experts helps enterprises perform the technical tasks in tandem with desired business results.
Step 1: A detailed picture of current IT landscape
As part of the Oracle Cloud Adoption Framework, Cloud4C experts prepare a detailed analysis of the current IT landscape which covers Network, Security, Applications, OS, and Databases. This analysis also includes complete dependency mapping details to identify the points of failure, and provide the fastest path to recovery.
Step 2: Migration blueprint
Our team of migration experts focuses on developing a detailed migration blueprint that covers migration strategy, methodology and project milestones.
-
Stage 3: Getting Ready for the Migration
-
Step 1: Building the environment
Cloud4C team prepares the landing zone design, covering network, security, compute, storage, security controls, cloud platform operations and governance policies. The blueprint focuses on the organization’s standard operating procedures with respect to security and governance.
-
Stage 4: Adopt the Right Migration Strategy
-
Step 1: Intuitive selection and innovation with the 6Rs
Several cloud-native benefits can prove to be useful to older apps as the solution is modernized to their advantage. Cloud4C makes it easy to decide among the famous 6Rs. What are they?
REPURCHASE
The enterprise drops the existing on-prem license of the software and moves on to the cloud-based version of the same software, essentially repurchasing the license.
REHOST
This is to identify the applications and existing workloads to be migrated and lift and shift them to the cloud ecosystem.
REPLATFORM
This process involves the same methodology as that of rehosting platforms and applications. However, some customizations are made here to ensure that the platforms run optimally on the cloud.
REFACTOR/RE-ARCHITECT
This phase or approach involves the most effort and expenses as the existing on-prem applications, databases, and workloads are significantly overhauled, often at the codebase levels, to move them to the cloud.
RETIRE
This involves the recognition of applications or platforms that are redundant and causing unnecessary load and shooting up operational costs. They may be retired and replaced with a cloud-friendlier version.
RETAIN
Businesses might opt to retain some legacy, on-prem applications as they are delivering high performances and are linked to critical projects.
-
Stage 5: Robust Governance for End to End Ownership
-
The Oracle governance assessment maps the entire customer network, systems, and applications on OCI, to ensure scalability, high performance and resilience, alongside compliance. Cloud4C offers proactive optimization of Oracle governance tools to establish robust governance processes as per organizations’ operating procedure, to ensure continuity, compliances, cost efficiency, and scalability of operations.
