Case Study: U.S. Government Contractor achieves cloud-first migration of Flexera on-premises solutions to Azure private cloud with Flexera

Government contractor moves Flexera solutions to the cloud

A U.S. government contractor with long-standing use of Flexera (FlexNet Manager Suite since 2012 and App Portal, which saved $467,000 in service desk costs) launched a cloud-first initiative to move all on‑premises systems to a private cloud. The challenge was to migrate their critical Flexera instances to Azure private cloud (GCC High) without having to rebuild the year‑and‑a‑half environment they had already constructed, while meeting strict regulatory and compliance requirements.

GovCon’s experienced technical team created a detailed pre‑migration checklist that was reviewed with Flexera product management, then executed the migration. The Flexera FNMS and App Portal instances were successfully moved to Azure GCC High, fulfilling the cloud‑first mandate, preserving prior cost and audit benefits, and demonstrating a compliant path for other government entities to run Flexera solutions in private cloud environments.
