Cloud services
Moving to the cloud, choosing a platform and looking after it afterwards are different jobs. We help you work out which one you need now and what the next stage will require, without assuming every workload should move in the same way.
Technology partnerships
Technology partners you know
We help you choose and look after the technology your team uses every day.
Start with the work that needs doing
You may have already chosen a destination and need help moving an application. Or you may still be deciding whether a move makes sense. Those starting points call for different conversations.
Cloud migration services covers discovery, the changeover and acceptance. Hybrid infrastructure services addresses the connections between retained and cloud systems. Moving an application server does not automatically move its identity, data or supplier dependencies with it.
Choose the responsibility model as well as the resources
Infrastructure as a Service gives you infrastructure resources with continuing customer responsibilities. Platform as a Service changes the division between platform operation and application work.
The useful comparison is the work your team will still need to do. Operating systems, applications, permissions, protection and recovery all need owners. Management can be added where agreed, but it should not be assumed from the name of the platform or resource model.

Plan who looks after it once it is running
Delivery is not the end of the story. Staff need support, access changes need approval and the environment may need ongoing administration. Cloud management concerns customer-held infrastructure; Defender security monitoring covers an agreed Microsoft security workflow.
Still weighing up the move? Moving to the cloud is a useful place to begin. Bring the applications you rely on, the constraints you already know about and the problems you are trying to solve.
We can then work through an approach around your business, including what stays where it is, what needs changing and who will support the result. The aim is a usable service with understood responsibilities, not a migration for its own sake.
