Azure migration
Your journey to the cloud
Looking for an Azure partner to help you migrate?
You’re in the right place. We drive business transformation through best practice cloud migrations and operations that perfectly align with Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework.
We set you up for success by considering security and ongoing operations at each stage of your migration, creating an environment that supports you in outpacing your competitors – not only in the sprint to the cloud, but in the marathon of operating there.

Assess and plan
Whether you are building a business case or you’re ready to migrate, our assessments and planning services will help you create a detailed Azure migration strategy that ensures the success of your project.
We review requirements from your stakeholders, alongside performing a workload analysis to gather all the necessary information from a data and requirement perspective.
You need a realistic view of operating in Azure. As such, we bake in considerations for security, AI readiness, estimated costs, and ongoing operations into our analysis. This helps you build a business case that reflects what is achievable within the constraints of your requirements.
Your workloads have different functions and requirements. Therefore, we can individually design the target state of each workload using the 5 pillars of Microsoft’s Well Architected Framework (WAF). Each workload is considered based on what you need it to do, which means you get the most ROI from your move to cloud.

Implement
With your route mapped out, it’s time for your journey to the cloud to begin.
Our migration services, designed and deployed in-line with the Microsoft Well-Architected Framework, will get your business in the cloud as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
We do this by breaking your migration down into two phases.
Identify and migrate the quick wins, to deliver fast returns on investment with minimal impact on your delivery.
Strategically plan and implement the re-architecting and migration of more sophisticated workloads, where return on investment is realised over a longer period of time.
By prioritising migrations in this way, we help ensure that your new environment is providing value as soon as possible.
As an Azure Expert MSP, we know a thing or two about getting the most out of Microsoft Azure. We understand that it is successful operations in the cloud, not just the cloud migration, that counts.
That’s why we build it right
