FAQ
How long does a cloud migration take?
It depends on the complexity and amount of data. Simple migrations (like email to Microsoft 365) can take a few days. More complex migrations might take several weeks. We'll provide a realistic timeline during planning.
Will we experience downtime during migration?
We plan migrations to minimize downtime, often scheduling critical moves during off-hours. For most migrations, downtime is measured in hours, not days.
Is the cloud more expensive than on-premises servers?
It depends. The cloud eliminates capital expenses (buying servers) and reduces maintenance costs, but you pay monthly for cloud resources. We'll help you compare costs honestly.
What happens to our data if we want to leave the cloud?
Your data is always yours. We provide complete documentation and can help you migrate back to on-premises or to a different cloud provider if needed—no lock-in.
Do we need to choose between Azure and AWS?
We'll help you choose based on your specific needs. For most small businesses using Microsoft 365, Azure is a natural fit. But if AWS makes more sense for your situation, we support that too.
