Time to retire the server in the cupboard?

If your server is getting old, now is a good time to ask whether you need one at all. For many businesses Microsoft 365 can do the job with far less to maintain.

// Sound familiar?

You might be here because

  • Your server is five or more years old
  • Working from home means a slow VPN
  • The warranty or support is about to end
  • You worry about what happens if it fails
  • Files live in mapped drives nobody fully understands
// Where you end up

What you get

  • Files available securely from anywhere
  • No server hardware to replace
  • Independent backups of your Microsoft 365 data
  • Permissions you can understand
// How we do it

Our approach

  1. 01AssessWe work out what runs on the server today and what can move. Some software still needs a server and we'll tell you honestly.
  2. 02DesignFiles move to SharePoint and Teams with permissions that match how your business works.
  3. 03MigrateData moved in stages, usually after hours, with staff shown where everything now lives.
  4. 04RetireOnce everyone is happy, the old server is backed up, wiped and decommissioned.
