Cloud Migration

Out of the server room,
into something maintainable.

Whether the goal is full cloud, hybrid, or just retiring one aging server, we plan the migration, run the cutover, and operate the result. Azure, M365, hosted SQL, file shares, and line-of-business apps.

What's included

Everything you need, none of the upsell.

Real deliverables, with the boundaries written down. So you know what you're paying for and what counts as extra.

Lift & Shift

VMs as-is, in Azure.

Fastest path for legacy apps that can't be rebuilt. Right-sized, monitored, and budget-capped.

Replatform

SQL, IIS, file shares.

Move workloads to managed PaaS where it makes sense. Lower ongoing maintenance, better security.

Hybrid

Some on-prem, some cloud.

Not everything belongs in the cloud. We design and operate the hybrid so it doesn't become two messes.

Retire

Decommission and document.

Old hardware off the floor, licensing rationalized, secure destruction certificates filed.

How it works

The order we work in.

A clear sequence so you can budget time, money, and risk against the work.

Step 01

Inventory.

Every server, app, file share, integration, and dependency catalogued. Surprises eliminated.

Step 02

Design.

Target architecture, cost estimate, cutover plan. You see and approve before we order anything.

Step 03

Migrate.

Phased moves with parallel running where possible. Documented rollback for every step.

Step 04

Operate.

Hand off to managed service or to your team with full documentation. We don't disappear at go-live.
