Move applications, data, and identity from on-prem or colo to a modern cloud in controlled waves. We build runbooks, test pilots, and cutover with rollback plans so your team knows what to expect and when.
Many teams stall when app-to-app links, batch jobs, or file shares were never in CMDB, or when cutover happens without a verified restore path—users see partial outages, not a clean go-live.
Within 30 days you can have a dependency-aware wave plan, pilot success criteria, and a communications cadence. Within 90 days, the majority of prioritized workloads are migrated with post-cutover metrics (availability, key transactions, or sync health) you can report to leadership.
We align email and identity work with your move when it matters, so you are not fixing authentication twice.
Inventory servers, dependencies, and data paths; document risks, compliance needs, and owners. You get a written migration roadmap with wave order, success criteria, and a realistic schedule.
Run pilots, validate performance and backups, and migrate in stages with a defined freeze window. Each wave ends with sign-off so issues do not roll into the next one.
Execute cutover with hypercare, smoke tests, and rollback readiness. After go-live, we tune sizing, cost alerts, and monitoring so the environment stays healthy.
Lift-and-shift gets you out of the datacenter fastest but may carry technical debt. Modernize when performance, licensing, or security justifies the effort. We help you pick per workload—not one rule for the whole estate.
We define a freeze window, communication plan, and go/no-go checks. Rollback is documented before production traffic moves—so “undo” is a decision, not panic.
Data in transit, encryption at rest, least-privilege access, and evidence for auditors do not wait until “later.” We bake them into the wave plan, especially in regulated or multi-site environments.
Directory and mail are often in the same program as your infrastructure move. We coordinate with our Microsoft 365 migration offering so identity, mail cutover, and file sync land in a sensible order.
| Area | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | Tribal knowledge; nobody owns the full dependency list | Documented app map, owners, and RTO/RPO by workload |
| Cutover | Big-bang weekend with ad hoc fixes Monday | Waves with pilots, metrics, and rehearsed rollback |
| Backups and DR | Assumed “someone is backing that up” | Tested restore and monitoring matched to the new environment |
| After go-live | Surprise cloud bills; alerts nobody owns | Tuning, budgets, and ownership for the steady state |
