Design and Migrate
Cloud Migration and Modernization
Moving to the cloud is where most of the risk sits, so it is where most of the planning goes. Migrations are staged, scheduled around your calendar and reversible at each step — cutovers happen outside working hours, and nothing is retired until its replacement has been verified.
What this includes
On-premise server migration
Rehost or rebuild the servers still sitting in your office on Azure, then retire the hardware and the maintenance contract along with it.
File shares to SharePoint or Azure Files
Mapped drives and their permissions moved into cloud storage that is searchable, versioned and backed up.
Email and Microsoft 365 migration
Mailboxes, calendars, shared boxes and archives moved onto Microsoft 365 without losing history.
Application replatforming
Line-of-business applications moved onto managed Azure services, so there is no server left for you to patch.
Database migration
SQL Server and other databases moved to Azure SQL or a managed instance, with performance verified before the cutover, not after.
Legacy system modernization
Aging applications rebuilt or rehosted where vendor support has ended and the risk of standing still exceeds the cost of moving.
Cutover and rollback planning
Every move scheduled outside working hours, rehearsed in advance and reversible at each step.
