Audit of the existing infrastructure
Inventory of your current server, mailboxes, and business applications before any decision.
Cloud migration for SMEs in Belgium
Transfer your email, files, and applications off an aging local server, with a planned switch that doesn't interrupt your business.
An email server installed ten years ago in a server room continues to run somehow, until the day a disk failure brings the whole company to a halt. No one wants to touch it, because no one knows exactly what it contains anymore.
The VPN meant to allow teleworking crashes as soon as several people connect at the same time, and backups, when they exist, sleep on an external drive that hasn't been tested for months. Changing hardware is expensive and doesn't fundamentally solve anything.
A cloud migration replaces this fragile server with a hosted infrastructure, accessible from anywhere, without you having to manage the hardware that runs it yourself.
What we do exactly
A planned transfer,
A planned transfer,
not a leap into the unknown.
02

Costed proposal detailing the chosen destination, the transfer schedule, and the price of subscriptions.
03
Transfer & switch
Data synchronisation in the background, then switch generally in the evening or a weekend.
04
Follow-up
Adjustment of access and support for your teams while they find their bearings.
Technologies
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace
or virtual servers.
Depending on your usage, we migrate your email and documents to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, the two collaborative suites most used by Belgian SMEs.
When a business application needs a dedicated server, we host it on virtual servers hosted in Europe, sized to the power actually needed rather than buying a physical machine.
The final choice depends on your existing software and your team's habits, never on a commercial partnership on our part.
How much it costs
The cost depends on the volume of data, the number of mailboxes, and the complexity of the business applications to transfer. Costed free of charge after the diagnosis of your infrastructure.
For whom, for whom not
A server to leave,
A server to leave,
or an infrastructure that still holds.
For whom
- Aging local server or licenses reaching expiration
- Team that needs to access its files from multiple sites or while teleworking
- Company that wants to get out of unpredictable hardware maintenance
For whom it is not
- Very specific business application that requires a dedicated local server that is not compatible
- Internet connection too unstable for comfortable daily cloud use
- Infrastructure already migrated recently and running without friction
Typical example
An illustrative case,
An illustrative case,
not a published case.
Let's take an SME of twenty people whose local email server was nearing end of life, with licenses that were no longer updated. The sales team, often on the road, struggled to check their emails outside the office. After an audit of the existing setup, mailboxes and shared folders were transferred to an online collaborative suite, with a switch carried out over a weekend so as not to disrupt any working day. This description remains a scenario built for the example, unrelated to a specific company.
Frequently asked questions
What we are asked
What we are asked
about cloud migration.
No. Data is synchronised in the background before the switch, which usually takes place in the evening or on a weekend to limit any risk.
Preparation is done before the switch to reduce downtime to a minimum. We plan the precise moment with you according to your activity.
On European data centres, whether the destination is Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or virtual servers. We check the options with you.
We leave it turned off but available for some time after the switch, in case a forgotten piece of data still needs to be recovered.
