Migrate your on-premises services to take advantage of the cloud

Have on-premises services had their day?

On-premises services have been the mainstay of IT delivery for the past 30 years, but the advent of the cloud has revolutionised the way businesses & organisations operate, providing a new model for delivering computing services and solutions and delivering numerous benefits.

Running IT services on-premises has several disadvantages compared to running them in the cloud. These include higher costs, limited scalability, restricted accessibility, difficult disaster recovery, and limited security. In the Microsoft world, on-premises software like SharePoint & Exchange lags way behind the functionality of the cloud equivalents.

The future is cloudy

By migrating to the cloud, your business or organisation can improve its operations, reduce costs, improve security, reduce scalability issues, and take advantage of the incredible power and functionality offered by platforms like Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure.

But, of course, migrating IT services from on-premises to the cloud is not straightforward and requires careful planning, execution, and management, and there are different types of migration that need to be considered.

In some cases there is a clear path, such as Exchange to Exchange Online, or SharePoint to SharePoint Online. But, if you are migrating applications that don’t have a cloud equivalent, then there are several options, including:

Equally, a source technology maybe migrated to a completely different technology – perhaps on-premises you have been using Nintex workflows on SharePoint but you might consider migrating these to Power Platform instead, perhaps for technical/capability reasons, or even to save licensing costs.
