Shifting back from cloud to on-premise

While cloud adoption remains the default for many businesses, some workloads perform better on-premise. In this case study, we explore how a tech company strategically transitioned back from the cloud, overcoming migration complexities to regain control, reduce latency, and optimize support through a custom solution.

In recent years, moving to the cloud has become a staple for the majority of companies. However, some workloads go better with on-prem, including mission-critical workloads, structural data management, and local file servers. Still, the reconsideration of where applications make sense to run may seem unexpected.

Moving from cloud back to on-prem: case

This is the very case we are sharing today: a tech company who hired us to manage the transition back to on-prem. They decided to shift back due to internal strategic changes, and the need to protect growing user data. Among their considerations was also the ability to manage and support the infrastructure with local resources (the cloud-based service required users to submit support tickets and wait for a response — sometimes for days). The in-house support would improve the process.

The client had already invested in specific cloud technologies, and wanted to maintain their processes seamless during the shift.

Boxed migration tools offer only partial solutions when it comes to custom configurations and this volume of historical data. Their existing cloud environment had 15 active projects, extensive task tracking history, code repositories, automated pipelines, and a huge user base. Additionally, they used a variety of business process automation plugins.

Here's what we did

  • Developed custom scripts, targeting plugin data and ensuring the integrity of historical records.
  • Leveraged API integrations to transfer data elements not supported by standard tools.
  • Employed scripting and specialized utilities to ensure a seamless transition of code repositories.
  • Performed manual configuration in some cases to replicate specific settings on-premise.
  • Installed external plugins and time trackers that were previously running in the cloud.
  • After the migration, we continued to support the system for extended time — handling incidents, exporting data, checking logs, and making sure everything worked smoothly.

Result

Through a combination of standard tools, custom solutions, and meticulous attention to detail, we successfully migrated their entire development environment. The client now has a fully functional on-premise system, tailored to their specific processes and allowing them to maintain their established workflows and technology preferences.

Healthcare finance leaders face significant challenges alongside the opportunities presented by the wealth of data and multitude of platforms available today, which makes effective system integration essential. At WaveAccess, we treat data integration and migration as vital strategies for staying competitive, not merely as technical tasks. Below, we outline our approach to addressing the key challenges encountered by finance leaders in healthcare.
WaveAccess built a multi-tenant lead capture platform for CaptureNow, the US-based SaaS solution provider for consumer-based law firms. The application allows users to reduce the cost of client acquisition, customer retention and increase the number of requests and positive feedback. The system’s core feature is the opportunity to create AI chatbots. By hiring the WaveAccess team our client saved around 50% on their overall project costs.
