Cloud & Migration
Seamless transition to cloud infrastructure, Azure/AWS setup, and hybrid cloud solutions with minimal downtime.
[ 01 ] Overview
Cloud migration sounds glamorous and is usually administrative. The hard parts are the inventory, the dependencies, the licensing, the email cutover, the file-share permissions that nobody documented, and the application that turns out to depend on a folder mapped to drive Z. Done properly, the cutover itself is uneventful — a Friday evening, a verified backup, an updated DNS record, and a Monday where everything still works.
We migrate small and mid-size businesses to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Azure, AWS, and the right hybrid combinations of the above. Email, file storage, SharePoint or Drive, identity and authentication, line-of-business applications where they make sense to lift, and the workloads that should honestly stay on-premises. We're not a cloud-everything shop — sometimes the right answer is to keep the file server and just move the email.
For government contractors with CUI obligations, the migration discipline is stricter — GCC or GCC High for Microsoft, AWS GovCloud, FedRAMP-aligned services where required. The work runs the same shape but with the additional documentation and configuration that compliance asks for, and we won't try to sell you compliance you don't actually need.
What you'll get
- Discovery and inventory. what you have, what depends on what, written down before the cutover plan
- Migration plan. phased, with rollback at each step, scheduled around your business calendar
- Identity and access. SSO, MFA, conditional access policies set up properly from day one
- Email and file migration. mailboxes, shared mailboxes, file shares, retention, all accounted for
- Cutover execution. the DNS-flip, the verification, the post-cutover smoke test
- Training pack. short, plain-language guides for staff on what changed and how
- 30 days of post-migration support. for the issues that surface in the first month
Our process
- Discovery. inventory of mailboxes, file shares, applications, identities, licensing
- Plan. written migration plan with phases, dates, owners, and rollback steps for each
- Pilot. small group migrated first to surface issues before the full population follows
- Cutover. phased or single-shot depending on the workload, with monitoring through the window
- Stabilisation. 30 days of warranty support, then ongoing managed services if you want them
[ 02 ] Common questions
How long does a typical migration take?
For a small business — 10 to 50 users, an Exchange or Google Workspace email cutover, a file server move — the work runs four to eight weeks from kickoff to cutover. Larger or more complex environments scale from there. We'll give you a real timeline in the discovery write-up, not a marketing one.
Will there be downtime?
Email migrations are designed to be zero-downtime — old and new systems coexist during the cutover window. File and application migrations can usually be staged with minimal user impact, sometimes with a defined off-hours cutover. The worst case is a planned weekend window that we'll agree on in the plan.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
Whichever fits how you actually work. Microsoft for organizations heavy on Office documents, SharePoint, and Teams, or with compliance reasons (CUI, GCC). Google for organizations whose people live in Docs, Sheets, and Drive. We'll recommend, not preach.
Can you handle CMMC / GCC High requirements?
Yes — GCC High and AWS GovCloud migrations including the supporting NIST 800-171 control mapping, SSP, and POA&M documentation. We're not a C3PAO and don't certify, but we do the engineering and documentation work that lets one certify.
What about post-migration support?
30 days of warranty support included with every migration. After that, ongoing managed services on a small monthly cap, ad-hoc hourly, or hand-off to your in-house team — whichever fits.
