Cloud migration, done right. Not just done fast.

Moving to the cloud shapes your infrastructure, costs and security posture for years. We plan, architect and deliver migrations that are secure, cost-efficient and designed for your actual workloads, not a templated lift-and-shift that creates cloud debt you'll spend years unwinding.

Platform expertise backed by real migration experience.

We're an AWS and Microsoft Azure partner with a track record of migrations across infrastructure, data and applications. We've migrated email systems, file services, line-of-business applications and full server estates. We've cleaned up enough poorly executed lift-and-shifts to know exactly what not to do. Our team has migrated South Australian businesses from on-premises infrastructure to AWS and Azure.

We migrate what needs to move, and leave what doesn't.

A cloud migration starts with deciding what to migrate, what to rebuild, what to replace with SaaS, and what to leave where it is. That decision shapes everything that follows: the cost, the timeline, the architecture and the ongoing operating model.

Assess

Migration assessment: workload inventory, cloud-readiness scoring and recommendation

Move the workloads

Email migration: Exchange to Exchange Online, or Google Workspace to M365
File migration: file server to SharePoint Online or Azure Files
Server workload migration: rehost, replatform or refactor based on workload profile
App migration: LOB application migration and cloud-native rebuild assessment
Backup migration: DR and backup workloads moved to cloud-native solutions

Connect & identity

Network architecture: VPN, ExpressRoute, Azure Virtual WAN, AWS Direct Connect
Identity migration: Active Directory to Entra ID (Azure AD), hybrid identity design

Secure & cut over

Security baseline: implementation and hardening on the target cloud environment
Cutover planning: coordinated migration window with tested rollback procedures

ISO 27001 certified

Security-first by design.

We're an ISO 27001-certified business. Every cloud environment we build is configured with security controls from the ground up: identity, network, data protection and monitoring in place before workloads move. Not a remediation project after the fact.

Cloud migration changes your security perimeter. We pair every migration with a security review of the new environment, so you're not more exposed in the cloud than you were on-premises.

AWS, Azure or hybrid, we work with all three.

We're platform partners with both AWS and Microsoft Azure. Platform choice is driven by your workloads, your existing Microsoft footprint, and your long-term architecture goals, not by which partner pays us more to recommend them.

Microsoft Azure

The natural home for businesses heavily invested in Microsoft 365 and Windows workloads. Azure integrates tightly with Entra ID, Defender, Sentinel and the broader Microsoft security stack, and your existing M365 licences often include Azure credits.

Amazon Web Services

AWS is the most mature cloud platform with the broadest service catalogue. The right choice for workloads that need specialised managed services, multi-region deployments, or where the team already has AWS expertise.

Hybrid & multi-cloud

Most migrations end up hybrid, cloud for some workloads, on-premises or colocation for others. We design the connectivity, identity federation and security architecture that makes hybrid work cleanly, not awkwardly.

Regulated industries

Cloud migration for regulated industries, where the obligations shape the architecture.

Most of the migrations we are asked to quote in South Australia are not simple lift-and-shifts. They carry an obligation attached to the data, and that obligation decides the architecture before anyone picks a region or an instance type. We are ISO 27001 certified ourselves, so the evidence trail a regulator or auditor will ask for is produced as part of the migration rather than reconstructed afterwards.

Financial services: APRA-regulated workloadsFor APRA-regulated entities, CPS 234 sets expectations on information security capability, control testing and incident response that a migration can quietly breach. We map information assets and their classification before anything moves, keep data in Australian regions, and document control effectiveness at each phase so operational and cyber resilience obligations survive the cutover.
Healthcare: patient and health records systemsClinical systems carry obligations under the My Health Records Act and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and they usually cannot tolerate a long outage window. We sequence migrations around clinical availability, keep patient data in Australian regions, and treat access controls and audit logging as migration deliverables. We have done this work for hospitals and Aboriginal community health services.
Defence supply chain: DISP-aligned migrationBusinesses in the defence supply chain have to show where data resides, who can reach it and how that is enforced. We design migrations that hold up against DISP membership requirements, with data sovereignty, personnel access boundaries and segregation designed in from the start rather than retrofitted when an assessment is scheduled.

Migration paths we are asked for most

On-premises SQL Server to a cloud-native database, PostgreSQL and MySQL to managed services such as Amazon Aurora, on-premises SAP and Oracle workloads into AWS or Azure, and Azure to AWS re-platforming where a change of provider is the actual requirement. Each of those has a different cutover risk profile, and we scope them differently. If your migration is a database with a hard availability requirement rather than a fleet of file servers, say so early and the plan will look quite different.

Should we migrate everything to the cloud, or keep some things on-premises?

Not everything belongs in the cloud. A good migration strategy is honest about that. Cloud is excellent for workloads that benefit from elasticity, global availability, managed services and reduced infrastructure maintenance. On-premises or colocation remains the right choice for workloads with high data volumes and predictable demand, specific latency requirements, or regulatory constraints on data sovereignty. We design hybrid architectures where that's the right answer, not cloud-first for its own sake.

How do you handle data security during a migration?

Security is designed in from day one, not bolted on after. That means encryption in transit and at rest, identity and access management configured before workloads move, network segmentation and private connectivity established before data transfers begin, and a security review at each phase of the migration. We're an ISO 27001-certified business. Security discipline is how we work, not a service add-on.

What happens to our existing infrastructure contracts and licensing during a migration?

This is an area where poor planning creates real cost. We map your existing contracts, hardware leases, software licences, data centre agreements, and factor their end dates into the migration timeline. Where possible, we align the cutover to avoid paying for both old and new simultaneously. Where that's not possible, we give you a clear picture of the transition cost upfront so there are no surprises.

We are in a regulated industry. Does that change the migration?

Yes, and it changes it early rather than late. For APRA-regulated entities, CPS 234 sets expectations on information security capability and control testing that a migration can quietly breach, so asset classification and control evidence come before any workload moves. For healthcare, the My Health Records Act and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme mean access controls and audit logging are migration deliverables, not follow-up work, and clinical availability usually dictates the cutover window. For defence supply chain businesses, DISP membership requires you to show where data resides and who can reach it, which shapes region selection and personnel access boundaries from the first design session. In every case we keep data in Australian regions unless you have a documented reason not to, and we produce the evidence trail as we go. Our guide to compliant cloud migration for regulated Australian industries covers the thinking in more depth.
