Get your data where it needs to be—on Microsoft Azure

As a Microsoft Gold Partner, our cloud consultants use a proven process for a low-risk migration. We help you do more than just move your data. You can use Azure to accelerate innovation with advanced analytics, reduce costs, and strengthen your security posture.

Cloud migration assessment

We begin by assessing your current databases and infrastructure to understand their connections and identify risks. Our consultants then analyze your technical needs and business goals to create a detailed migration plan that ensures the project stays on schedule and within your budget.

Cloud strategy, plan and design

We analyze your environment to create a detailed migration plan. The plan matches your workloads to the right Azure services—such as Azure SQL for relational databases or Azure Synapse for analytics—and provides a new cloud architecture designed to improve performance, scale easily, and reduce costs.

Migration deployment

We keep your applications online during complex migrations. Our team manages data transfer and workload migration in phases, using real-time data synchronization and Azure best practices to prevent disruption to your business.

Cloud managed service and support
