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
- 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.
- 02DesignFiles move to SharePoint and Teams with permissions that match how your business works.
- 03MigrateData moved in stages, usually after hours, with staff shown where everything now lives.
- 04RetireOnce everyone is happy, the old server is backed up, wiped and decommissioned.
