Data Migration
Move your data, applications, and platforms safely — with zero downtime and nothing left behind.
Move Everything, Break Nothing
Whether you’re switching hosting providers, upgrading legacy systems, or consolidating platforms after an acquisition, migration is one of the highest-risk projects a business can undertake. Get it wrong and you lose data, disrupt operations, or end up running two systems indefinitely.
We plan, execute, and validate every migration end to end — databases, applications, email, files, and infrastructure. Every record accounted for, every integration reconnected, every user back up and running.
What We Migrate
SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL — on-premises to cloud, between providers, or major version upgrades.
Legacy system re-platforming, hosting provider moves, and containerisation of monolithic applications.
Mailbox migrations, SharePoint moves, and full Microsoft 365 tenant transfers with no lost mail.
File servers to cloud storage, archive transfers, and permission mapping across environments.
Every Record, Every Relationship, Intact
Database migrations carry the most risk — a single missed foreign key or truncated field can cascade through an entire application. We treat every migration as a precision engineering exercise.
We handle schema conversion between platforms (SQL Server to PostgreSQL, MySQL to cloud-native), data validation at every stage, and parallel running periods so you can verify everything before the cutover.
For large datasets we use incremental sync strategies that keep both systems current until you’re ready to switch, minimising downtime to minutes rather than hours.
Schema Conversion
Translate stored procedures, views, and data types between database engines.
Row-Level Validation
Automated checksums and record counts to verify zero data loss.
Incremental Sync
Keep source and target in lockstep until cutover day, minimising downtime.
Infrastructure Moves
Migrate between hosting providers, data centres, or on-premises to cloud.
Containerisation
Package legacy applications into containers for portable, scalable deployment.
API Rewiring
Reconnect integrations, webhooks, and third-party services to the new environment.
Re-Platform Without the Chaos
Moving an application isn’t just copying files to a new server. It’s remapping environment variables, updating connection strings, testing every integration, and making sure the whole system behaves identically in its new home.
We handle everything from straightforward hosting moves to full re-platforming of legacy systems — breaking monoliths into services, containerising applications for cloud deployment, and reconnecting every API and webhook along the way.
Every migration includes a detailed rollback plan. If something unexpected surfaces during cutover, we can revert cleanly.
Microsoft 365, SharePoint & Beyond
Email and file migrations affect every person in the organisation. A botched mailbox move means lost emails, broken calendar entries, and a support desk buried in tickets.
We plan tenant-to-tenant migrations, on-premises Exchange to Microsoft 365 moves, and large-scale SharePoint transfers with proper permission mapping. Users keep their folder structures, shared mailboxes work from day one, and archived mail comes across intact.
For file storage, we handle network drive to OneDrive or SharePoint migrations, preserving folder hierarchies and access permissions. We run parallel access periods so teams can transition at their own pace.
Typical Migration Scope
Our Migration Process
A proven approach refined over hundreds of migration projects.
Discovery

Plan
Detailed migration plan with timelines, rollback steps, and success criteria.
Execute
Staged migration with validation checkpoints at every step.
Verify
Post-migration testing, monitoring, and parallel running until sign-off.
