Cloud Migration Services for Every Scenario

On Premise to Cloud

On premise to cloud migration of servers, applications, databases, and file shares to AWS or Azure. The most complex migration type and our core specialty.

Cloud to Cloud

Cloud to cloud migration between providers. AWS to Azure, Azure to AWS, or consolidating multiple cloud environments into a unified architecture.

Office 365 Migration

Office 365 migration and Microsoft 365 migration from on-premises Exchange, hosted email, or Google Workspace. Mailbox, calendar, contacts, and archives.

Azure Migration

Azure migration of virtual machines, databases, applications, and identity to Microsoft Azure cloud. Including Azure AD and Entra ID configuration.

AWS Migration

AWS migration services including EC2 provisioning, RDS database migration, S3 storage migration, VPC networking, and CloudWatch monitoring setup.

Google Workspace Migration

Google Workspace migration from Microsoft 365 or on-premises email. Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and admin console setup with user training.

Our Methodology

Cloud Migration Strategy in Four Steps

Every cloud migration follows our proven four-step cloud migration strategy. No surprises. No data loss. No finger-crossing.

01

Assess

Audit current environment. Map application dependencies. Identify risks. Document what moves, what stays, and what gets retired. This is cloud migration consulting at its core.

02

Plan

Build the cloud migration strategy with detailed timeline, budget, rollback procedures, and stakeholder communication plan. Select AWS, Azure, or hybrid target architecture.

03

Migrate

Phased execution with zero-downtime approach. Data validation at every stage. Parallel environments until cutover. User acceptance testing before go-live.

04

Optimize

Post-migration cloud cost optimization, security hardening, CloudWatch and Azure Monitor configuration, performance tuning, and transition to ongoing cloud management.

Migration Approaches

The Right Strategy for Every Workload

Not every application migrates the same way. We evaluate each workload and recommend the approach that balances speed, cost, and long-term value.

Lift and Shift

Move applications and data to the cloud with minimal changes. The fastest path to cloud. Ideal for workloads that need to move quickly, like aging on-premises servers approaching end of life.

Best for: Legacy apps, file servers, databases, ERP systems like Odoo that run well on virtual machines.
Re-platform

Move to cloud with targeted optimizations. Replace the database engine with a managed service like AWS RDS, swap local storage for S3, or move email to Microsoft 365 while keeping the core application logic intact.

Best for: Applications that benefit from managed cloud services without a full rewrite. Database migrations, email migrations.
Replace with SaaS

Retire the on-premises application entirely and replace it with a cloud-native SaaS alternative. The most transformative approach. Eliminates infrastructure management entirely for that workload.

Best for: On-premises Exchange to Microsoft 365, local file servers to SharePoint/OneDrive, legacy CRM to cloud CRM.
Hybrid Cloud

Keep some workloads on premises and move others to cloud. Connected through VPN or dedicated links. Ideal for organizations with regulatory requirements, latency-sensitive applications, or phased migration timelines. Many of our cloud migration projects start hybrid and move fully to cloud over time.

Best for: Regulated industries, large environments, organizations migrating in phases.
Retire

Some applications do not deserve to be migrated. Legacy tools that nobody uses, redundant systems, and technical debt that should be eliminated rather than carried forward. Part of a good cloud migration strategy is knowing what to leave behind.

Best for: Legacy apps with low usage, redundant systems, technical debt cleanup.
Migration Track Record

ERP Migrations We Have Delivered

Real cloud migration projects completed for Toronto-area organizations. Odoo ERP from on-premises to AWS with zero data loss.

Manufacturing Company
Odoo ERP → AWS

Migrated a full Odoo ERP environment from aging on-premises servers to AWS EC2 with RDS PostgreSQL backend. The on-prem hardware was approaching end of life with no redundancy. We built a new AWS architecture with auto-scaling, automated backups to S3, and CloudWatch monitoring. Migration completed over a weekend with zero data loss and zero business disruption on Monday morning.

Odoo ERP AWS EC2 RDS PostgreSQL S3 Backup
Distribution Company
Odoo ERP → AWS

Migrated a multi-module Odoo ERP with inventory management, invoicing, and CRM from a local server to AWS infrastructure. The company had outgrown their single-server setup with performance issues during peak ordering periods. We architected an AWS environment with properly sized EC2 instances, RDS for the database layer, and implemented automated nightly backups with 30-day retention. Performance issues eliminated and the system now scales with demand.
