Cloud Consulting, Strategy & Migration
A clear plan and a clean move to the cloud.
We assess your current systems, decide what should move, what should stay and what should retire, then build a phased migration plan with costs up front.
Migrations run in stages with testing at each step, so your team keeps working while we move. File servers, line-of-business applications, databases and email each get the approach that suits them, whether that is a straight lift-and-shift or a move to a managed service.
When the move is done, you get documentation of the new environment and a clear handover, or we keep running it for you under Cloud Managed Services.
Readiness assessment
An inventory of servers, applications, dependencies and licences.
Cost modelling
Projected monthly cloud spend before you commit to anything.
Phased migration
Workloads moved in tested stages, not one risky cutover.
Hybrid options
Keep what makes sense on-site and connect it securely to the cloud.
Data migration
Files, databases and mailboxes moved with integrity checks.
Rollback plans
Every stage has a tested way back if something goes wrong.
Signs you need this
- Your servers are near end of life or out of warranty
- Remote staff struggle to reach files and applications
- You pay for hardware refreshes every few years and want to stop
- A previous cloud move stalled or cost more than expected

Common questions
Will there be downtime during the move?
Most workloads move with little or none. Where a short outage is unavoidable, we schedule it outside business hours and agree it with you in advance.
Do we have to move everything at once?
No. Migrations run in waves, and some systems may stay on-site if that is cheaper or simpler. The plan covers what moves, when and why.
How do we know what it will cost?
The assessment includes a monthly cost estimate for the target environment, so you can compare it with what you spend today before deciding.
