Cloud: migrate and modernise
Move workloads and Microsoft 365 safely
Migration is one of the highest-risk points in the cloud lifecycle. Poorly planned moves can lead to disruption, data loss, spiralling costs and long-term operational issues.
We help education and research organisations migrate and modernise cloud services in a controlled, predictable way, minimising risk while laying the foundations for long-term improvement.
Migration that supports your institution, not just the technology
Whether you’re moving to Microsoft 365, migrating workloads to Azure or AWS, or modernising legacy environments, successful migration depends on more than tools alone.
Our migration and modernisation services are designed specifically for education and research environments, where continuity, data integrity and trust are critical.
Our migrate and modernise services help you:
- Reduce migration risk and service disruption
- Gain clear visibility and control throughout delivery
- Improve performance and scalability post-migration
- Achieve a cleaner, more supportable environment after go-live
- Make migration decisions aligned to institutional priorities and capacity
