Case Study: University of Greenwich achieves cloud-first transformation with Methods

University of Greenwich migrates 85% of workloads to Azure with Methods

The University of Greenwich faced increasing operational risks and inefficiencies from managing over 1,000 aging on-premises virtual machines, which created a barrier to its growth and digital ambitions. To modernize its infrastructure and support its 2030 strategy, the university partnered with Methods and its CoreAzure service to migrate its legacy systems to Microsoft Azure.

Methods implemented a comprehensive, phased migration strategy over three years, successfully moving 85% of the university's workloads to Azure. This solution transitioned the university from a capital expenditure to an operational expenditure model, substantially reduced its technical debt, and created a modern, scalable platform for future innovation. The transformation provided the University of Greenwich with significant cost transparency, enhanced system reliability, and a solid foundation for its long-term digital success.
