Aging server rooms, unpredictable refresh cycles, and hardening cyber-insurance requirements are forcing agencies off on-prem infrastructure. The risk is that a bad migration breaks CAD, records, and the 911 center itself. Sentinel plans and executes the transition end-to-end, preserving mission-critical integrations while moving agencies to a compliant, cost-predictable cloud footprint.

What We Do
Migration and managed cloud, engineered for public safety continuity. The four pillars sequence from discovery through sustained operations so nothing breaks in the handoff.
Full inventory of bare-metal assets, application dependency mapping, compliance gap analysis across CJIS, HIPAA, and state frameworks, and a three-to-five-year TCO comparison against current lifecycle costs.
Phased roadmap with per-workload rehost, replatform, refactor, or retire decisions. Data migration with integrity validation and cutover orchestration around minimum downtime windows.
The right deployment model for the mission, whether public, private, or hybrid. Platform selection across Azure Government, AWS GovCloud, or Google Gov, with a secure landing-zone design.
Post-migration 24/7 monitoring, FinOps cost optimization, patch and security operations, and disaster recovery engineered to the agency's continuity-of-operations requirements.
Why It Matters
A cloud transition done wrong takes down the 911 center. Done right, it hardens the agency against ransomware and replaces capital uncertainty with operating predictability.
CJIS-compliant cloud environments configured from day one.
Preserves integration with Motorola CAD, Tyler, and core ERP systems rather than breaking them.
Replaces unpredictable hardware refresh cycles with OpEx that fits an annual budget.
Hardens posture against the ransomware wave hitting counties and PSAPs.
Protects 911, dispatch, and records uptime through every phase of the transition.
Platforms
Platform choice follows the mission, not the vendor relationship. Sentinel engineers landing zones, reference architectures, and security baselines across the three major GovCloud platforms.
FedRAMP High and CJIS-aligned. Preferred landing zone for agencies standardized on Microsoft 365 and Dynamics.
ITAR-controlled region with deep service catalog. Preferred for agencies running custom workloads or multi-account landing zones at scale.
Assured Workloads for government with strong data analytics and AI tooling. Growing footprint across state and local agencies.
Integration
Infrastructure modernization is engineering delivery. The four Sentinel practices wrap the engineering work with the governance, readiness, configuration authority, and post-deployment value assurance that separate a successful migration from a broken one.
Practice 01
Program governance, schedule discipline, and executive reporting across the full migration lifecycle.

Sentinel Sustain™
After migration closes, Sentinel Sustain keeps the cloud environment optimized, monitored, and compliant across the life of the investment. Three tiers: Core, Active, and Strategic.
Learn more →Ready to scope the work?
Two to four weeks of assets inventory, dependency mapping, compliance gap analysis, and a three-to-five-year TCO comparison. You leave with a defensible migration roadmap whether Sentinel executes it or not.
