Cloud & Solution Development

Moving to the cloud is the easy part. Moving to the cloud without quietly doubling your costs is the actual job.

Moving to the cloud is not the hard part. Moving to the cloud correctly, without doubling your costs, breaking integrations, or recreating the same architectural problems in a new environment, is. 

We assess your current infrastructure, design the right cloud architecture on Azure, and manage the migration with minimal disruption to your operations. The result is a scalable, cost efficient environment you can actually build on, not just a lift and shift that moved the problem. 

How we help 

  • Infrastructure assessment: understanding what you actually have before proposing what to change. 
  • Cloud architecture design: built for your real workload and growth pattern, not a generic reference architecture. 
  • Migration execution: phased, tested, with rollback plans, not a weekend cutover and hope. 
  • Cost optimization: cloud bills creep; we design and review for cost efficiency as a first class requirement, not an afterthought. 

Technology 

  • Microsoft Azure 
  • Azure Migrate 
  • Azure Resource Manager and Bicep for infrastructure as code 
  • SharePoint Online migration tooling 
  • Azure Cost Management 
  • hybrid and multi region architecture patterns 

 

Why it matters 

We have managed SharePoint on premises to SharePoint Online migrations for enterprise clients including Umicore and Jervois Global, and built Azure based cloud architecture for tourism and healthcare platforms with real uptime requirements. Migrations done carelessly create new technical debt under a different name. 

Most migration cost overruns trace back to one decision: lifting infrastructure as is instead of right sizing it for the cloud. We assess what should be re architected versus what can move as is, since not everything benefits from a rebuild, and forcing one onto everything wastes budget as surely as skipping it everywhere does. 

Frequently asked questions

It depends entirely on what you are migrating. A focused SharePoint on premises to Online migration might take weeks; a full infrastructure migration with multiple dependent systems can take months. We will scope this honestly before quoting a timeline.
We plan every migration around minimal disruption, including phased cutovers and rollback plans, specifically so your operations keep running during the move.
For most of our clients, yes, given their existing Microsoft investment, but the assessment phase exists precisely to confirm that rather than assume it.
Cost optimization is part of the engagement, not a separate add on. We review architecture specifically for cost efficiency, not just for getting workloads moved.
