The Client
A leading educational group with both national and international presence, specialized in managing universities and higher education centers. Each year, it serves thousands of students through innovative academic programs and a large-scale educational infrastructure.
The Challenge
Today’s universities must reduce IT costs, ensure uninterrupted availability of their academic and administrative systems, and leverage the best of each cloud provider (multicloud) to achieve limitless growth.
The group operated more than 80 servers in the cloud. To enhance its technology strategy, it decided to migrate 58 servers and 5 databases to AWS, aiming for greater scalability, security, and efficiency.
The Solution
Honne designed and executed a Lift & Shift migration, which meant moving their systems as-is to AWS without the need to rebuild them. The solution included:

- Migration of servers and databases without disrupting operations.
- Creation of a secure and scalable AWS environment.
- Private, encrypted network to protect sensitive data.
- Automated backups and high availability to prevent downtime.
- Monitoring and alerts to respond quickly to any incident.
Cost Savings and Benefits
- 30% lower initial investment by avoiding system redesign.
- 15–20% monthly savings on cloud consumption by eliminating duplicate or oversized servers.
- Continuous operation, avoiding losses caused by failures or interruptions.
- 25% savings on support and security through AWS governance.
- 20% annual savings by paying only for the cloud resources actually used.
The client achieved a more efficient multicloud strategy, reducing IT costs by 25–35% in the first year, while gaining the confidence of a technology foundation built for future growth.
