How long does a cloud migration take?

Migration timeline depends on data volume, complexity, and current systems. A typical SMB email migration takes 2-4 weeks. Full infrastructure migrations may take 2-6 months. We provide a detailed project plan upfront.

Will there be downtime during migration?

We minimise downtime through careful planning and staged migrations. Email migrations often have zero downtime with coexistence periods. We schedule any required downtime outside business hours.

What happens to our on-premises servers after migration?

After successful migration and validation, on-premises servers can be decommissioned. We handle secure data wiping and hardware disposal. Some businesses keep hybrid environments for specific workloads.

Answer

What is On-Premises to Cloud Migration?

Move from ageing on-premises systems to modern cloud

Audit and roadmap, staged migration of email, files, and databases, identity alignment, and ongoing monitoring under SLA.

Problems we solve

What we typically untangle.

Ageing Infrastructure

On-premises servers approaching end-of-life with increasing maintenance costs and failure risks.

Business Continuity Risk

Single points of failure in legacy systems that could bring the business to a halt.

Remote Work Limitations

On-premises systems make it difficult for staff to work effectively from home or client sites.

Unpredictable Costs

Hardware failures, software renewals, and capacity upgrades create budget surprises.
