How Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud for Vancouver businesses actually works
Concrete deliverables — no vague SaaS jargon. Each engagement is sized to your business and reviewed monthly.
Migrations
Phased migrations with parallel runs, rollback, and verified performance before the cutover.
Cost optimization
Rightsizing, reserved capacity, and waste cleanup across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
Security posture
Identity, network, and data protection aligned to CIS benchmarks for your cloud of choice.
Hybrid integrations
Connect on-prem systems, SaaS, and cloud workloads cleanly — with observability built in.
Monitoring & ops
Dashboards, alerts, and runbooks so cloud operations stop being a black box.
Who it is for
A strong fit for
- Businesses still running on ageing on-prem servers or unsupported Windows versions
- Teams paying for cloud but unsure why the bill keeps growing
- Owners who want Canadian data residency or specific region controls
- Organizations adding remote staff and needing identity-first access, not VPN gymnastics
- Teams preparing for a compliance review (CIS, SOC 2, insurer questionnaires)
- Founders who want one partner across Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and SaaS — not three
Our process
How a cloud engagement usually runs
-
1
Discovery
Interview your team, inventory current workloads, licensing, and data flows — then map what actually needs to move vs. what can stay.
-
2
Target architecture
Pick the right cloud (or mix) honestly — based on your tools, compliance context, and team — with a simple cost and resilience model.
-
3
Pilot & validate
Run a small pilot workload in parallel to prove identity, networking, backups, and costs before touching production.
-
4
Migrate in waves
Move workloads in prioritized waves with parallel runs, staged cutovers, and rollback paths — no all-or-nothing weekends.
-
5
Optimize
Rightsize, clean up orphaned resources, and apply reserved capacity or savings plans where they actually pay off.
-
6
Operate
Dashboards, alerts, runbooks, and monthly cost / risk reports so cloud ops do not stay a black box.

Frequently asked questions
Which cloud should we choose — Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud?
The honest answer depends on your existing tools, team skills, and regulatory context. Microsoft 365 shops usually benefit from Azure; Google Workspace shops often lean Google Cloud; AWS is the broadest option. We help you pick, and revisit the decision as needs change.
How much does a cloud migration cost?
Small migrations are typically delivered as fixed-price projects scoped to your workloads. Ongoing optimization is a monthly retainer. We will give you a written estimate before anything starts — no open-ended hourly bills.
How long does a typical migration take?
Most SMB migrations take 4–12 weeks depending on workload count, data volume, and integrations. We stage in waves so you start seeing benefits in weeks, not months.
Can you migrate from on-prem servers?
Yes — file servers, Active Directory, line-of-business apps, and small databases. We run parallel environments and only cut over once the new setup is verified.
Will we actually save money in the cloud?
Not automatically. Cloud saves money when architecture, rightsizing, and lifecycle policies are done well. We regularly deliver 20–40% monthly savings on inherited cloud setups through cleanup alone.
Is our data safe in the cloud?
Yes, when configured properly. We apply CIS benchmarks, identity hardening, encryption, and logging — most breaches come from misconfiguration, not cloud providers themselves.
Do you support multi-cloud setups?
Yes — when it genuinely helps. We also warn when multi-cloud adds cost and operational burden without real resilience gains.
Can you back up cloud data too?
Yes. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data should be backed up by a third-party tool — the providers protect against outages, not against user or ransomware mistakes.
Move to the cloud without the drama
A short call to review your goals — we will come back with a realistic architecture and cost.
