Azure migration services that move what gains from it We move applications, databases, and servers in waves, tested against the old system
Azure cloud migration services for every kind of workload From one database to a whole data center, moved a few at a time
How our Azure migration works Five steps, repeated for each wave of applications
- Weeks 1 to 2AssessWe inventory every application with Azure Migrate and price it on Azure.
- Week 3Plan the wavesWe group applications that depend on each other and set cutover dates.
- Each waveMigrateWe copy data, move the application, and run it beside the old one.
- Before cutoverValidateUsers test real tasks, and the figures must match the old system.
- After cutoverOptimize and supportWe right-size what moved and train your team to run it.
When Azure migration is the right move And when an application should stay put, or be rebuilt first
A good fit when
- A data center lease or hardware refresh is coming due
- Your SQL Server or Windows versions are nearing the end of support
- Your applications already sign people in with Microsoft accounts
Look elsewhere when
- An application costs less to run where it is today
- You haven't decided which cloud yet: start with Azure consulting
- The system runs on IBM i and needs modernizing first
Our Azure migration services in detail What each kind of move covers, and what you have at the end
Azure migration strategy and roadmap
Lift and shift isn't always cheaper. A server sized for its busiest hour costs the same on Azure at midnight as at noon, so we price each application three ways: moved as it is, changed to use managed services, or rebuilt.
The roadmap puts each application in a wave, with its cost today, its cost on Azure, and its cutover date.
Azure application migration
We move web applications to App Service, containers to Azure Kubernetes Service, and scheduled jobs to Azure Functions. An application runs beside the old one until users have tested the tasks they do every day.
Azure database migration
We move SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases with Azure Database Migration Service. Data copies in the background, so the final switch takes hours, not days.
Before cutover, we compare row counts and totals with the old database, such as last month's invoices to the cent.
Azure mainframe and legacy system migration
Old batch jobs, COBOL programs, and VB6 applications rarely move as they are. We write down what each one does, rebuild it in .NET on Azure, and test the new version against the old one's output.
- Every business rule written down first
- Old and new run side by side
- Cutover only when the outputs match
Enterprise and infrastructure migration to Azure
For a whole data center, we move servers, file shares, and networks in waves, starting with the systems that depend on nothing else. Azure Site Recovery keeps a copy ready, so a failed cutover rolls back in minutes.
ERP, CRM, collaboration, and analytics workloads
We move ERP and CRM systems, file servers to SharePoint, and data warehouses to Microsoft Fabric or Azure Synapse. Remote teams then reach the same systems from anywhere, signed in with their Microsoft accounts.
Questions about Azure migration What buyers ask us before they start
Why migrate workloads to the Azure cloud?
You stop buying hardware, add capacity in minutes, and get backup and recovery across regions. It pays most for applications whose load rises and falls, which can shrink when they're quiet.
What challenges come up during an Azure migration?
The usual ones are hidden dependencies between applications, data that takes longer to copy than planned, and costs that rise after a lift and shift. We map dependencies first and price each application before it moves.
How much does an Azure migration cost?
It depends on how many applications move and how much each one changes on the way. We assess first, then quote each wave at a fixed price, with the expected monthly Azure bill beside it.
How long does an Azure migration take?
One application can move in a few weeks. A data center usually moves over several months, in waves of a few applications at a time, so the business keeps running throughout.
How do I choose the right approach for each Azure migration?
Look at how each application is used and what it costs. Move a stable one as it is, change a busy one to use managed services, and rebuild one only when the old code blocks what the business needs.
Tell us which applications you'd move first
We'll price each one on Azure and place it in a wave, so you see the plan before anything moves.
