Office Move Cloud Migration

An office move is the perfect trigger for cloud migration. Move your servers, files and applications to the cloud and make your relocation simpler, cheaper and more resilient.

Simpler Relocation

Moving to the cloud before your relocation means fewer physical servers to transport, less downtime and a faster move.

Lower Move Costs

Every server you migrate to the cloud is one less server to pack, insure, transport and reinstall at the new office.

Better Resilience

Cloud services are accessible from anywhere, providing automatic business continuity during and after the move.

Combining Cloud Migration with Your Office Move

If you are planning an office move and still running on-premise servers, this is the ideal moment to consider cloud migration. Moving to cloud-hosted email, file storage and applications before the physical relocation dramatically simplifies the IT move. Instead of transporting, reconnecting and testing physical servers, you simply connect to the same cloud services at the new office through any internet connection. Cloudswitched specialises in cloud migrations timed around office moves. We assess your current server workloads, identify which are suitable for the cloud, execute the migration in advance of your move date and then handle the remaining physical relocation. The result is a faster, cheaper, lower-risk office move with a more modern IT infrastructure at the end.

What to Migrate to the Cloud

Email and Collaboration

Migrating from on-premise Exchange to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace eliminates a server, provides anywhere access and reduces the physical move scope.

File Storage

Moving file servers to SharePoint, OneDrive or Google Drive means staff can access their files from the new office without waiting for a server to be physically moved.

Line-of-Business Applications

Some applications can be hosted in Azure, AWS or moved to SaaS alternatives. We assess each workload individually and recommend the best approach.

Benefits of Cloud Migration Before Your Move

Six advantages of going cloud-first before your office relocation.

01

Reduced Downtime

Cloud services are accessible from any location, so there is no downtime during the physical transition between offices.

02

Lower Move Cost

Fewer physical servers to move means lower transport, insurance and installation costs.

03

Built-in DR

Cloud platforms provide automatic redundancy, backups and disaster recovery without additional cost or complexity.

04

Remote Working

Cloud services support remote working naturally, giving your team flexibility during and after the move.

05

Scalability

Cloud resources scale with your business. Add or remove users, storage and compute without buying new hardware.

06

Modern Infrastructure

Arrive at your new office with a modern, cloud-based IT platform rather than reinstalling ageing on-premise equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not necessarily. Some workloads are better on-premise for performance, compliance or cost reasons. We assess each workload individually and recommend a hybrid approach where appropriate.

Email and file migrations typically take two to four weeks. More complex application migrations may take longer. We start well before your move date to ensure everything is ready.

Monthly cloud costs often compare favourably when you factor in the total cost of ownership of on-premise servers — hardware, electricity, maintenance, backups and eventual replacement.

We can decommission old servers, securely wipe all data and arrange environmentally responsible disposal or recycling.

Yes. We provide training sessions covering email, file access, collaboration tools and any other cloud applications deployed as part of the migration.
