Cloud migration to Azure for Singapore SMEs
Move your office server to Azure, without stopping work.
We move your file server, old applications and backups to Microsoft Azure or Microsoft 365, set a monthly budget with alerts, and look after it for you.

Four signs the office server has had its day.
Out of warranty
The server is five years old and nobody wants to buy the next one.
Slow from home
Remote staff wait on a VPN to open a single file.
Backups on a USB drive
In the same room as the server, so one incident takes both.
One power cut away
Aircon, power or a failed disk can stop the whole office.
Your systems in the cloud, with the running costs under control.
Moved once, carefully, then monitored and patched on our monthly plan.
Plan my cloud moveFile shares in SharePoint
Shared folders moved with their permissions, and open from anywhere.
Old apps on Azure
Software that still needs a server runs on an Azure virtual machine.
Cloud desktops
Windows 365 or Azure Virtual Desktop for staff who use older Windows software.
Backup and recovery
Off-site backups and a tested plan to restore if something fails.
Cost limits and alerts
A monthly budget in Azure, with alerts before spending goes over it.
Monitoring and patching
Servers updated and watched, with a short monthly health report.
What moves where
From your server room to Microsoft's cloud.
Not everything needs a virtual server. We move each part to the simplest place that works, which usually keeps the monthly cost down.
| On your server today | Moves to | Why | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shared folders | SharePoint and OneDrive | Open files anywhere, with the same permissions | |
| Accounting or business app | Azure virtual machine, or Business Central | Keep using it as it is, or upgrade when you are ready | |
| Remote desktop for staff | Windows 365 or Azure Virtual Desktop | Older Windows software from any laptop | |
| USB or tape backups | Azure Backup | Off-site, automatic and tested | |
| Office sign-in server | Microsoft Entra ID | One Microsoft 365 sign-in for everything |
We confirm the right target for each system in the health check, with a monthly running-cost estimate before you decide.

Cloud bills surprise people when nobody sets limits. We size each part to what you actually use, set a budget, and send an alert before you reach it.

Server warranty ending soon?
Tell us the model and what runs on it. We compare replacing it with moving to Azure, side by side, before you spend anything.
Cloud questions SMEs ask first.
Something else? Chat with us or call +65 6031 0102.
Is the cloud more expensive than our server?
It depends on what you run. Many small offices only need SharePoint and backup, which costs less than a new server. We show both costs side by side before you decide.
Where is our data stored?
In Microsoft's Singapore data centre region, unless you ask for somewhere else.
What about our old accounting software?
It can run unchanged on an Azure virtual machine. When you are ready, we can also move you to Business Central.
What if the office internet goes down?
Staff can keep working from home or a phone hotspot. For offices that need it, we add a second internet line.
Can we keep some things on-site?
Yes. Printers, door access and some machines stay local. We only move what benefits from the cloud.
