Cloud Infrastructure Migration
Your On-Premises Infrastructure Is Holding You Back
Your Team Is Constrained
Your team needs to work from anywhere. Your applications need to stay secure. Your data needs protection from risks you can't fully control on-site.
Your Infrastructure Is Failing You
You're running Exchange servers that break with every security patch. File servers that can't support remote access. Active Directory that wasn't designed for a cloud-first world.
The Consequences Are Real
You've seen what happens when email systems go down for weeks while recovering from a compromised Exchange server. You've watched businesses lose productivity, credibility, and sleep because on-premises infrastructure failed at the worst possible moment.
There's a better way forward.
Why Migrate to Azure & Microsoft 365?
Migration isn't about saving money. Anyone who tells you "the cloud is cheaper" isn't being honest with you.
Migration is about capabilities you can't build on-premises and risks you can't afford to take.
Secure Remote Access
Your team works from anywhere without compromising security
Modern Collaboration
Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive enable real-time collaboration
Enterprise-Grade Security
Protection that would cost millions to build yourself
Compliance Confidence
Microsoft invests heavily in certifications like FedRAMP High
Reduced Operational Risk
No more single points of failure in your server room
Meanwhile, you eliminate the risks that come with on-premises infrastructure—hardware failures, security vulnerabilities, limited disaster recovery, and the never-ending burden of maintenance.
But What About Connectivity?
A Question We Hear Often
We get it. For years, "the cloud" felt like something built for Seattle and San Francisco—not for Alaska, Hawaii, or rural communities.
- Expensive MPLS circuits
- Unreliable DSL
- Satellite internet that couldn't handle video calls, let alone business applications
- If your connectivity was limited, cloud migration felt impossible
That world is gone.
The Connectivity Landscape Has Changed Completely
SD-WAN on Commodity Broadband
Replaced expensive enterprise MPLS circuits. Instead of paying thousands per month for a single connection, modern SD-WAN intelligently routes traffic across multiple low-cost broadband links—delivering reliability through redundancy, not through premium carriers.
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Services
Starlink and OneWeb are changing the game for everyone:
- Remote work sites and camps: Field operations that were unreachable now have enterprise-grade connectivity
- Rural locations: Communities underserved by wireline and fiber providers for decades can now compete with urban markets
- Backup and redundancy: Even locations with fiber can use LEO satellite as affordable, reliable failover
A rural clinic in Alaska can have better internet connectivity than many urban offices had five years ago
This means cloud migration is now a real possibility everywhere.
What This Means for Your Business
- You're no longer constrained by geography. Your team in Fairbanks can have the same capabilities as a team in Honolulu or Anchorage.
- Your remote work site can run the same applications as your headquarters.
- The cloud isn't just for big cities anymore. It's for wherever your business needs to be.
And because we work in these markets every day, we know how to design solutions that account for connectivity realities—redundancy strategies, caching where it makes sense, and optimization that ensures your applications perform reliably.
Our Migration Approach: Custom, Comprehensive, People-First
Every organization is different. Your applications, your data, your workflows, your people—none of it fits a template.
That's why our migrations are custom solutions built around your specific needs. We move at your pace while providing the momentum to get you across the finish line.
Discovery & Analysis
We analyze your current environment—Exchange servers, file servers, Active Directory, applications, security permissions, and data sets. We identify dependencies, risks, and opportunities.
Migration Planning
We develop a comprehensive migration and test plan. This isn't just technical—it includes communication strategies, user training, and change management support.
Testing & Validation
We run mock migrations to identify issues before they impact your business. We validate that services work as expected and users can do their jobs.
Migration Execution
We perform the migration with minimal disruption. For many clients, the business barely feels it happen—which is exactly the point.
Post-Migration Support
We provide hands-on support after migration. Sometimes that means surge capacity for your internal team. Sometimes it means flying our field technicians on-site to walk the halls and help users through the transition.
What Gets Migrated?
Email & Collaboration
- Exchange Server to Exchange Online
- File servers to SharePoint and OneDrive
- On-premises Active Directory to Entra ID (formerly Azure AD)
Legacy Applications
We don't leave your critical applications behind. We migrate legacy apps to Azure-hosted virtual machines and provide secure access through Azure Virtual Desktop or RemoteApp, so they keep working exactly as they did before.
Security & Identity
We set up modern identity management with Entra ID, including multi-factor authentication and conditional access policies that protect against phishing and unauthorized access.
Compliance & Governance
We configure data protection, retention policies, and security controls to meet your compliance obligations—whether that's HIPAA, FedRAMP, or tribal data sovereignty requirements.
The People Side of Migration
IT is 80% people and 20% technology. If you can't solve for the people side, you won't get invited to solve the technology side.
People hate change. We get it. We've guided hundreds of users through the phases of grief that come with technology transitions.
Education and Outreach
Helping people understand the "why" behind the change
Pre-communication and Re-communication
Nobody hears things the first time
Coaching for Leadership
Empowering your management team to tell a compelling story
Empathy and Patience
Meeting users where they are, not where we think they should be
After migration, clients tell us: "IT migrations never go this easy."
It's not magic. It's planning, communication, and a genuine respect for the humans on the other side of the technology.
What About Downtime and Risk?
Minimize Disruption
We plan to minimize disruption. Through careful testing, phased rollouts, and backup plans, we keep your business running while we modernize your infrastructure.
Data Integrity
Data loss is not acceptable. We validate data integrity at every step and maintain backups throughout the process.
Business Continuity
Your business stays operational. In many cases, users experience the migration as a seamless transition—email keeps working, files stay accessible, applications remain available.
After Migration: What Changes?
For your users
- Work becomes more flexible. They access email and files from any device.
- Collaboration gets easier with Teams and SharePoint.
- Remote work actually works.
For your IT team
- Firefighting decreases. Time spent maintaining Exchange servers and hardware disappears.
- Focus shifts to strategic initiatives instead of tactical emergencies.
For your business
- Risk decreases. Compliance gets easier. Capabilities expand.
- You stop worrying about the server room and start focusing on growth.
Common Questions About Cloud Migration
Most migrations take 8-16 weeks from kickoff to completion, depending on the size and complexity of your environment. We work at your pace and can adjust timelines to match your business needs and capacity to participate in the project.
We design migrations to minimize disruption. Email migrations typically happen over a weekend with no user downtime. File migrations occur in the background. In most cases, users experience a seamless transition with no interruption to their work.
We evaluate each application during discovery. Many applications can be migrated to Azure-hosted virtual machines and accessed through Azure Virtual Desktop or RemoteApp. Your applications keep working exactly as they did before, but without the on-premises infrastructure risk.
Not necessarily. Modern SD-WAN can aggregate multiple low-cost broadband connections for reliability. LEO satellite services like Starlink are delivering enterprise-grade connectivity to remote locations. We design solutions that work with your connectivity reality, including optimization and caching strategies.
We configure Azure regions and Microsoft 365 data residency to meet your requirements. For organizations with tribal data sovereignty or specific regulatory requirements, we work with you to ensure data stays where it needs to stay and meets all compliance obligations.
We can help. We've rescued many partially completed migrations where organizations hit roadblocks with complex applications, security configurations, or user adoption challenges. We assess where you are, identify what's blocking progress, and get you across the finish line.
Absolutely. Post-migration support includes user training, documentation, and hands-on help. We can provide on-site "floor walking" where our technicians work directly with users in their workspaces to ensure they're comfortable with the new environment.
We believe IT is 80% people and 20% technology. Our approach includes pre-communication, leadership coaching, user education, and empathy throughout the process. We don't just migrate technology—we help your people adopt it successfully.
