What is cloud migration?
Cloud migration is moving your data, applications and workloads from computers and servers in your office to services hosted by providers such as Microsoft, Google or Amazon. It can be a full move, or a hybrid setup where some systems stay on-site.
How much does a cloud migration cost in Richmond?
It depends on how much data you have, how many users and applications are involved, and how complex the setup is. Small email migrations can cost a few hundred dollars; full server migrations for larger offices can run into the tens of thousands. We give you a fixed, written estimate after a readiness assessment.
How long does a migration take?
Small migrations can be done in a few hours. Larger moves involving servers and line-of-business applications can take several weeks of planning and staged work. We'll give you a realistic timeline up front.
Will our data be secure during the migration?
Yes. We use encrypted transfers, keep your original data intact until the new system is verified, and set up security controls such as MFA and access permissions on the new platform before users move.
Should we choose Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
If your team relies on Outlook, Excel macros, Teams or Windows-based software, Microsoft 365 is usually the better fit. Google Workspace suits browser-first teams that collaborate heavily in Docs and Sheets. We'll recommend based on how you actually work.
Can you move us out of a cloud service too?
Yes. We migrate between providers (for example Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, or one Microsoft 365 tenant to another after a merger) and back on-site when that's the better choice.
