Traditional migrations move your problems to the cloud. Moonshot Migrations use agentic AI to rebuild your application from the ground up - purpose-built, cloud-native, and yours to own.
The Problem with Traditional Migration
The industry loves the 7R's framework - Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain, Relocate. But most migrations land on rehost or replatform: moving the same application, with the same architecture, the same tech debt, and the same vendor lock-in to a new address.
The result? You pay cloud costs on top of legacy license fees. You inherit years of accumulated complexity. You preserve the vendor lock-in that was holding you back in the first place.
Migration without transformation is just a more expensive way to stay stuck.
What Makes a Moonshot Different
| Traditional Migration | Moonshot Migration | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Approach | Move existing apps to cloud | Rebuild from scratch with agents | |
| Tech debt | Inherited | Eliminated | |
| Timeline | 6-18 months | 4-12 weeks | |
| Vendor lock-in | Often preserved | Eliminated - you own the code | |
| Cost trajectory | License + cloud costs compound | One-time build + low hosting | |
| Customization | Limited by original architecture | Unlimited - purpose-built | |
| AI-native | Retrofitted | Built-in from day one |
Traditional Migration vs Moonshot
Traditional migrations take 6-18 months to move the same broken app. Moonshot migrates your data and rebuilds the entire application from scratch using agentic AI.

The Moonshot Way
Frequently Asked Questions
A Moonshot Migration uses agentic AI to rebuild enterprise applications from scratch rather than performing a traditional lift-and-shift migration. The result is a purpose-built, cloud-native application that eliminates legacy tech debt, vendor lock-in, and compounding ISV license costs.
A Moonshot Migration typically takes 4–12 weeks, compared to 6–18 months for a traditional enterprise cloud migration. The use of agentic AI through our Discover, Design, Build, Operate methodology dramatically accelerates the build process.
Moonshot Migrations can replace enterprise software from vendors including Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, ServiceNow, Workday, and many more. We rebuild exactly the features your organization uses, purpose-built for your workflows and hosted in your AWS environment.
Organizations typically save 70–85% on total cost of ownership by replacing compounding ISV license fees with a purpose-built application. You pay a one-time build cost plus low AWS hosting fees, and you own the code outright with zero exit costs.
