Who it’s for

For every business with something to move

Migrations in the UAE tend to be triggered by one of a few events. If one of these is on your calendar, the planning should start now.

  • Windows Server 2012/2016 or Exchange 2013/2016 reaching end of support
  • An office move, a datacentre contract ending or a lease in a free zone expiring
  • A merger, acquisition or rebrand that changes domains and tenants
  • A Google Workspace renewal, or an Exchange server nobody wants to patch any more

SMBs leaving on-premises servers

A file server and Exchange box in a cupboard in Al Quoz, an ageing firewall and a backup that has never been tested. We move it to Microsoft 365 and Azure in weeks.

Companies moving to Microsoft 365

From Google Workspace, hosted Exchange or an on-premises server, with mail, calendars, contacts and files intact and users signed in on Monday morning.

Groups consolidating after M&A

Two tenants, three domains and four identity systems that need to become one, without losing mail flow or breaking Teams.

Enterprises relocating infrastructure

Moving racks between datacentres in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, into Khazna or Equinix colocation, or out of a datacentre altogether into Azure or AWS.

What We Migrate

End-to-End Migration Expertise

From legacy infrastructure to cloud-first environments — we handle every type of migration your business needs.

Google Workspace & Exchange → Microsoft 365

Move from Google Workspace, on-premises Exchange or hosted Exchange to Microsoft 365 without losing a single email, calendar entry, or file. Our certified engineers handle the full migration including user accounts, mailboxes, Drive to OneDrive, and team collaboration.

  • Gmail to Exchange Online
  • Exchange 2010–2019 hybrid or cut-over migration
  • Google Drive to OneDrive/SharePoint
  • Google Meet to Microsoft Teams
  • Contacts, calendars & shared drives

File server → SharePoint & OneDrive

Retire the file server and move departmental shares to SharePoint and personal drives to OneDrive, with permissions preserved and mapped drives replaced.

  • Share and permission analysis with Migration Manager
  • Path-length, illegal-character and duplicate clean-up
  • Incremental sync then final delta cut-over
  • Sensitivity labels and retention applied on landing

Tenant-to-tenant & domain migration

Merge or split Microsoft 365 tenants and move domains after an acquisition, divestiture or rebrand.

  • Mailbox, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams migration between tenants
  • Domain transfer with coexistence and mail-flow continuity
  • Entra ID identity and group consolidation
  • Intune device re-enrolment plan

Server Infrastructure Upgrade

Migrate from ageing on-premise servers to modern, high-performance hardware. We handle everything from assessment and procurement to data transfer and cutover, ensuring zero data loss and minimal downtime.

  • Legacy to modern server hardware
  • OS & application migrations
  • Rack & stack planning
  • Datacentre relocation and colocation moves
  • Post-migration performance tuning

Physical to Virtual (P2V)

Consolidate your physical server estate into a virtualised environment. Reduce hardware costs, improve resource utilisation, and gain the flexibility of VMware, Hyper-V, or Nutanix platforms.

  • VMware vSphere & Hyper-V migration
  • P2V conversion with Veeam & Zerto
  • Server consolidation planning
  • HA & DR configuration post-migration

On-Premises to Cloud Migration

Lift and shift or re-architect your on-premises workloads to Microsoft Azure, AWS or a hybrid cloud environment. We assess, plan, and execute cloud migrations aligned with your business continuity and cost goals.

  • Azure IaaS / PaaS migration
  • AWS me-central-1 (UAE) migrations

  • Schema and compatibility assessment
  • Log-shipping or replication for near-zero downtime
  • Row-count and checksum validation

Firewall Migration & Upgrade

Upgrade or replace end-of-life firewalls with next-generation security appliances. We migrate your existing rules, policies, and configurations accurately — preserving your security posture while enhancing capabilities.

  • Firewall rule & policy migration
  • Next-gen NGFW deployment
  • FortiGate, Cisco, Palo Alto, Sophos
  • Zero-trust security configuration
  • Unused-rule clean-up before cut-over

  • Core & distribution switch upgrades
  • SD-WAN migrations
  • Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 6E upgrades
  • Network segmentation & VLAN redesign

Our Process

A Proven Migration Framework

Every migration follows the same methodology — discovery, planning, pilot, cut-over, validation and hypercare — built for safety, speed, and success.

  1. 01

    Discovery & Assessment

    Audit your current environment, dependencies, and identify migration risks. Inventory of mailboxes, data volumes, applications and integrations, with a bandwidth check for the transfer.

  2. 02

    Migration Planning

    Build a detailed migration plan with timelines, rollback strategies, and success criteria. Wave schedule, communication plan and a change window agreed with the business.

  3. 03

    Pilot, Migration & Cutover

    Test the migration process in a controlled environment with a pilot group, then execute the migration with real-time monitoring and immediate issue resolution — usually overnight or at a weekend.

  4. 04

    Validation & Post-Migration Support

    Comprehensive testing to verify data integrity, performance, and functionality, followed by ongoing hypercare support to stabilise your environment after go-live.

A 50-user Microsoft 365 migration typically completes in two to three weeks; server and datacentre moves are scheduled over four to twelve weeks depending on scope.

Our Guarantees

Why Businesses Trust Us

The commitments written into every migration statement of work.

Zero-Downtime Approach

Phased migration strategies that keep your business running throughout the transition, with coexistence so old and new systems work side by side until the final delta.

Data Integrity Assurance

Comprehensive checksums and validation to ensure nothing is lost or corrupted during transfer, with item counts reconciled and signed off before the source is decommissioned.

Minimal Business Disruption

Migrations planned around your schedule — including evenings and weekends — with Friday and Saturday cut-overs the norm for UAE working weeks.

Full Rollback Plans

Every migration includes a tested rollback procedure for complete peace of mind. The source stays intact and reachable until you sign off.

Users ready on day one

Outlook profiles, mapped drives, Teams and mobile devices reconfigured, with floor-walking or a hotline on the first business day.

Secure decommissioning

Old servers, tenants and subscriptions retired on a schedule, data wiped with certificates and licences cancelled so you stop paying for both.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

By running both systems in coexistence. Mailboxes are pre-synchronised over several days while users keep working, then the final delta and MX change are made outside business hours, usually a Friday evening. Users open Outlook on the next working day with mail, calendar and contacts already in place. Where a hard cut-over is unavoidable we agree a short window and brief every user.
