Migrating data to the cloud
means flexibility and lower costs
With on-premises solutions, you pay for peak capacity that you usually don’t use. The cloud optimizes costs by flexibly adjusting performance to meet demand.
A solution that grows with your business
The cloud allows you to choose components and platforms tailored to your company’s needs. You can easily change them to create an environment that grows with your organization, giving you control over performance, efficiency, and costs.
Charge only for usage
A cloud data warehouse involves virtually no upfront costs. As your business grows, fees are based on your actual resource usage, so you only pay for increased capacity when you use it.
Quick setup
You can quickly build a cloud solution using off-the-shelf products, just like building blocks. You choose the right ones from various categories (PaaS, SaaS, IaaS, etc.) and know that each one is efficient and secure.
Easy scalability
Do you have more data and need greater performance right away? The cloud will flexibly adapt to new requirements without any downtime, and your data and reports will be accessible from anywhere, making remote work and team collaboration easier—tasks that are often difficult in an on-premises environment.
Better protection against data loss
Data recovery on-premises is expensive and slow. The cloud offers instant backups, immediate system restoration, and built-in, advanced protection mechanisms.
A future-ready solution
The cloud also provides access to modern technologies such as machine learning, AI, and big data analytics, which makes it easier to implement innovations more quickly without the need for costly updates and license expansions.

Let’s talk about migrating your data
Schedule a consultation6 reasons why
your Data Warehouse
should move to the Cloud
Data Silos and Lack of Data Democratization
Siloed reporting in transactional systems leaves full report access exclusively to the IT department, restricting overall efficiency and cross-team collaboration.
Slow Reporting and Poor Performance
Low processing power in legacy on-premise data warehouses leads to long wait times for critical reports, negatively impacting decision-making speed.
High Infrastructure Costs
Maintaining on-premise servers generates high initial upfront investments and ongoing operational overhead (specialists, power, storage). Migrating your data to the cloud can cut operational costs by up to 50–60%.
Limited Storage Capacity
As data volume grows, physical on-premise servers and mass storage systems run out of space, while scaling them up remains costly and highly inflexible.
Lack of Infrastructure Scalability
The more data sources and volume you add, the slower your on-premise data warehouse performs—directly limiting business growth and agility.
Poor Performance Under Heavy Load
Transactional and analytics systems slow down significantly when forced to generate complex reports and run queries simultaneously, hindering fast decision-making.
Clouds at your fingertips
When selecting cloud solutions tailored to your goals and processes, we rely solely on objective criteria such as scalability, performance, cost, and suitability for the tasks at hand.
We use the most effective technologies from the three largest providers to ensure maximum productivity and flexibility for you today and in the future. Our services may also include cloud migration to a public or hybrid cloud model, depending on your business needs and the challenges involved in selecting the right model and technology.
Client Success Stories
We helped Celsium build a data warehouse that reduced costs by PLN 180,000 per year
We integrated data from meters, SCADA, billing, and weather systems into a single data warehouse on Google Cloud Platform. We created advanced ETL processes, data quality control mechanisms, and dashboards in Tableau to support daily analysis of heat production and consumption.
The result? Meter failures detected in one day (previously one month), operational data updated three times a day, and significant savings thanks to heat source optimization and better demand balancing.
We built a modern data warehouse in GCP for PŚO
We helped Polski Światłowód Otwarty design and implement a scalable Data Lake architecture on Google Cloud Platform. We integrated 13 data sources, created automated ELT processes, access security, and a data model that serves as a single source of truth within the organization.
The result? Independence in reporting, rapid integration of new systems, readiness for future needs, and cost savings by eliminating on-premise infrastructure.
We helped AMS leverage data from DOOH media and maintain its position as a leader in outdoor advertising
We built a modern data ecosystem for AMS, a leader in OOH and DOOH advertising. We combined data from media, internal systems, Proxi.cloud, and CitiesAI to create a unified data warehouse in BigQuery with near real-time analysis.
The result? Data-driven targeting, campaign automation, better results for customers, and a stronger market position thanks to programmatic buying based on actual reach.
We helped Tutlo automate data integration and build a modern real-time ETL
In collaboration with the Tutlo team, we designed and implemented a data integration architecture based on serverless Google Cloud components. The system enables data synchronization from dozens of sources—including CRM—with full monitoring, CI/CD automation, and readiness for further scalability.
The result? A stable and flexible data ecosystem, ready for process automation, ML projects, and dynamic development of the educational platform.
We helped FunCraft forecast ROI and optimize UA budgets in the mobile gaming industry
We implemented a comprehensive BI solution for an American game studio, integrating data from Adjust, stores, and advertising platforms into the BigQuery warehouse. We built advanced dashboards in Looker Studio and predictive ROI models that enable accurate budget decisions—even with a long return on investment cycle.
The result? The FunCraft marketing team works faster, more efficiently, and with full control over their data.
