SaaS Migration:
Multi-Tenant SaaS Architecture
WWG SaaS migration services turn a single-tenant software product, installed or hosted separately for each customer, into one multi-tenant platform delivered as a service. They are for software vendors and companies with a product of their own that want to sell by subscription without multiplying installations. Senior engineers redesign tenancy and data separation, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure as code and monitoring, so the product can be changed safely while customers are using it.
Definition
What is SaaS migration to a multi-tenant architecture
SaaS migration is the engineering work of moving a software product to a software-as-a-service model built on a multi-tenant SaaS architecture, or of moving an existing SaaS platform onto infrastructure that can carry it. The work covers deployment pipelines, tenancy and data separation, scaling behaviour and release process, because a SaaS product is judged on how safely it can be changed while customers are using it.

The engagement
SaaS migration in concrete terms
- Duration
- Set in scoping, according to the perimeter: number of installations to bring onto the platform, data structure, state of code and releases.
- Start
- With the initial assessment of the product and the existing installations, which fixes the phased plan before any code is touched.
- Who does the work
- WWG senior engineers with experience in DevOps consulting and SaaS development. A named technical owner follows the project and documents every decision.
- What we need from you
- Access to code, environments and one representative installation, a point of contact, the list of customers to migrate with their customisations.
- Output
- A multi-tenant platform in production, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring and observability, documentation of the tenancy decisions.
- Format
- A phased project from initial assessment to continuous optimisation; optional ongoing operation afterwards for a monthly fee.
The price is set before we start, in scoping, per phase and on the perimeter. We do not publish a price list: two products with the same number of customers can need very different work.
Comparison
SaaS migration and the alternatives
When per-customer installations become a cost that grows with every contract, there are four ways out. This table says what each one is for, so the choice is made on the real problem rather than on the label.
| Criterio | WWG SaaS migration | New SaaS product from scratch | Cloud migration as-is | In-house DevOps team |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who it is for | Software vendors and companies with a working single-tenant product and active customers. | Companies that can afford to rebuild the product while maintaining the old one. | Companies that want to leave their own servers without changing the delivery model. | Companies that want to build platform operations competence in-house. |
| What it covers | Tenancy and data separation, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native optimisation, monitoring. | A new system, with customer migration at the end. | Moving servers and data to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud; the code stays the same. | Depends on the people hired and on the time they can give the project. |
| Duration | Set in scoping, in phases; the first customers move onto the platform before the end. | Long and hard to estimate; two products to maintain in the meantime. | Shorter; the cost per installation remains. | Adds hiring and onboarding time to the project itself. |
| What you get | A multi-tenant platform in production, documented, with pipelines, monitoring and a named owner. | A new product, with the risk of losing functions customers relied on. | The same product on different infrastructure. | In-house skills, if the people stay. |
| When it makes sense | When the product is worth it, the customers exist and the per-installation model no longer holds. | When the current product is beyond recovery. | When the problem is hardware, not the delivery model. | When the platform becomes the permanent core of the business and you want to invest in people. |
If you are looking to replace installed software with third-party SaaS applications, this is not the right page: this page is about turning your own product into a SaaS platform.

What getting to SaaS takes
A multi-tenant product usually means reworking the architecture through microservices migration and moving the workload onto elastic infrastructure through migration to the cloud.
