Moving to the cloud, planned step by step
We compare Azure, AWS and Google Cloud honestly against your current servers, plan the move with minimal downtime, then manage the environment and keep costs under control.
Before you decide
The cloud is not always the right answer
Office servers age, licences expire and backups depend on one person. Moving to the cloud looks like the obvious fix, but without a plan it can bring unexpected bills, applications that no longer behave as before, and data scattered across services with no clear view of who has access.
We start by asking whether the cloud makes sense for you at all. We compare on-premise, cloud and hybrid in terms of cost, security and the way you work. If you decide to move, we plan the migration in phases, carry it out with minimal disruption, then manage the environment and review spending every month.

How we work
Step by step, with you involved
Analysis
We review your servers, applications and data, along with your needs for access, security and budget.
Recommendation
We present a comparison of on-premise, cloud and hybrid, with estimated costs and the reasoning behind our advice.
Migration
We move systems in phases, test each part and schedule the final switchover for a time that does not disrupt work.
Management
After the move we monitor the environment, handle updates and backups, and track spending so it does not creep up.
FAQ
Questions we often get asked
Is the cloud always cheaper than servers in the office?
Not always. For some businesses, on-premise servers or a hybrid setup cost less over the long run. The cloud makes sense when you need remote access, when the business is growing quickly or when you would rather not maintain physical hardware. We work out the numbers with you before any decision.
How long will we be without our systems during the migration?
The aim is to keep downtime as short as possible. Most of the work happens while your existing systems keep running, and the final switchover is scheduled at a time agreed with you. We can give you a firm estimate once we have reviewed your systems.
Which should we choose: Azure, AWS or Google Cloud?
It depends on the systems you use and how your team works. For example, if you rely mainly on Microsoft 365 and Windows Server, Azure is often the more natural fit. We give you a comparison with the reasons behind it, so the final decision is yours.
What happens to our data after the migration?
Your data remains yours. We set up accounts and access permissions, encryption and backups, and help you choose a storage region that meets your legal requirements. As an ISO/IEC 27001-certified company, we handle data according to documented procedures.
