Migrating to the cloud isn’t easy. You need a partner that is flexible, reliable, and has your success in mind, with the expertise and knowledge to back it up. Our cloud expertise will enable you to achieve your digital transformation objectives with successful cloud migration. With loads of experience in physical to virtual, and virtual to virtual migrations, we have the knowledge and resources to guide you through your cloud migration journey.

Our Cloud Migration process typically involves:

Technical Assessment

We gather details about the internal network in order to be able to provide a more accurate quote, properly set expectations and ask questions so we can avoid any surprises down the road.

Workflow Assessment

We ask specific questions about how people do their work. We gather information about how they print, scan, interact with applications and really understand a day in the life of the user. We even have to understand what users are doing in different departments and what their needs are.

Build Cloud Environment

We provide and create servers for the client’s environment. We also deploy users and get the foundation ready for the implementation of applications.

Deploy Applications

In this phase, we install software either using installation files and documentation provided by the client, or by liaising with application vendors. Most common applications like Microsoft Office and Adobe Reader come pre-installed in our LevelCloud workspace solution.

Cloud Environment Test

IA test group of users play around with the cloud environment and undertake the usual things that they do when they are working on their desktop. This allows us to resolve unforeseen issued before going live.

Email Migration

We have automated the process of migrating entire Hosted Exchange or on premises Exchange Environments to our Microsoft Exchange environment. We transfer all contacts, calendars, public folders and even autocomplete files. Entire mailboxes are copied and synced with production data, so when the cutover happens there is no loss of email and users have a great experience.

Data Migration

Depending on the amount of data being moved, we either sync data over the WAN connection, or request a hard copy from the provider and copy the data over the weekend. We find the best option based on go-live deadlines and the client’s comfort level.

Testing Cloud Environment with Current Data

We check to make sure that the data is accessible from the client’s applications and that there are no issues with reporting, queries, launches, etc. This is a verification step before going live, and is usually undertaken on a weekend.

Training

We conduct live GoToMeeting sessions to introduce users to their new cloud environment. We show them how to access work and how to undertake their usual tasks. We conduct as many training sessions as necessary to ensure that users feel comfortable and are ready to work on the day of going live.

Go Live!

This is the day when the client is amazed, thrilled and sometimes nervous to work from the cloud. Since a lot of due diligence has gone on prior to going live, the user experience is nothing but fantastic. Some users adapt more quickly to the new environment than others; but with the support of our staff, documentation and additional hand holding, we are able to make sure that users are more productive in the cloud environment.
