Are you considering moving your company to the cloud? We can help you make wise decisions so that your cloud migration goes smooth. We can help you plan your cloud migration to identify what roles, services, or programs, are best migrated where.
Many business owners dive into new cloud infrastructure without considering the small details that could throw a wrench into the process. For example, many legacy applications were designed without the cloud in mind, and the data within these applications may be difficult to migrate. When you have our experts by your side, these issues are less of a hassle.
OAC can handle every part of your migration and make the process smoother on your end.
Cloud migration is the process of moving business systems from on-premises infrastructure to cloud environments. It includes many of the vital solutions your business uses every day, including the services, applications, data, and email systems. Cloud platforms vary, but include:
Cloud migration helps businesses reduce infrastructure costs and improve accessibility. In addition, it makes it easier to scale your system, whether your business is experiencing a period of growth or you’ve discovered that you may need to decrease some of your services in order to improve functionality. Planning and experienced IT guidance are essential during your migration projects, ensuring that your data remains complete and your tools in working order.
Modern infrastructure doesn’t have to be all or nothing. A hybrid cloud environment integrates an on-premises or privately hosted environment with public cloud resources to improve overall security and control while still providing you with access to the benefits of cloud resources. A multi-cloud environment uses services from two or more cloud providers to improve availability and ensure that you are not entirely dependent on a single vendor. We’ll help you find and design the right solution for your needs.

Cloud migration offers a number of critical benefits for your business.
You won’t have to spend as much on hardware and maintenance, which can bring with it substantial savings. In addition, cloud environments often provide more remote work opportunities, which can further reduce in-office costs.
Cloud environments can easily grow and change along with your business, allowing you to quickly scale according to your changing business needs.
Cloud environments make it easier to manage potential disasters and recover essential data. Ultimately, that means fewer customer delays and better overall business continuity even following an emergency.
Security concerns are often a major barrier to cloud adoption–but they don’t have to be. We ensure high levels of security at every stage of the migration process, protecting your data.
We use encryption protocols during data transfer to ensure that your data remains yours–and that no one else can access it. That protection continues once your information is in the cloud environment.
We ensure that authorized individuals have appropriate access to technology resources while utilizing access management solutions that protect against unnecessary or unauthorized access.
Our migration strategies are designed with compliance in mind. Not only do our migration solutions fit with those key regulations, we also help ensure that your new cloud environment is appropriately protected to meet the standards that matter to your business and your clients–including offering cloud management services that protect your environment.
Planning is an essential stage of the cloud migration process.
A full evaluation of your current infrastructure lets you know what you’re working with and what might be needed to keep your business running smoothly both during and after the transition. This process will also help identify which systems are moving to the cloud and which ones might be better suited to a different environment.
We’ll help plan out the full migration process to reduce risk and avoid data loss. In addition, we’ll help with hybrid infrastructure planning, making it easier for you to maintain control of vital systems.
