Is Your West Midlands Business Still Running on Ageing Infrastructure?

Physical servers are expensive to maintain, difficult to scale, and a liability when they fail. Ageing on-premises infrastructure also creates security risk — older systems are harder to patch, harder to monitor, and increasingly out of compliance with modern cybersecurity standards.

Sentinel SecureTech manages cloud migrations for businesses across Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Solihull, and the wider West Midlands. We have been delivering structured, low-risk migrations for over 15 years. We handle everything — planning, migration, testing, and post-migration managed IT support — so your team can keep working while we do the heavy lifting.

Which Cloud Migration Does Your Business Need?

From Microsoft 365 migrations to full Azure infrastructure — here is how to match the right approach to your requirements.

On-Premises Server to Cloud Migration

Still running physical servers on-site — whether a single server or an entire server room? We migrate your workloads to cloud infrastructure safely and with minimal downtime. We assess your current setup, design the right architecture, and execute in structured phases.

Common migrations we handle:

File servers to SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business
On-premises Exchange to Microsoft 365
Physical servers to Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
Line-of-business applications to Azure-hosted environments
SQL Server databases to Azure SQL

Microsoft 365 Migration — From Any Platform

Whether you are moving from on-premises Exchange, Google Workspace, Lotus Notes, or another legacy platform — we manage your Microsoft 365 migration from start to finish. Mailboxes, calendars, contacts, shared drives, and file storage — all migrated with zero data loss and minimal business interruption.

Microsoft Azure Cloud Migration

For businesses that need more than Microsoft 365 alone — virtual desktops, hosted databases, and complex application infrastructure — we design and deliver full Azure migrations. We work to Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework, ensuring your Azure environment is properly architected, secured, and cost-optimised from day one. See our Azure support for UK SMEs page for full details.

Azure migration projects we deliver:

Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) — secure remote working from any device
On-premises server consolidation to Azure Virtual Machines
Azure-hosted databases and business applications
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) — identity and access management
Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery for business continuity

Cloud-to-Cloud Migration

Moving between cloud platforms — from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, from AWS to Azure, or between Microsoft 365 tenants — requires careful planning to avoid data loss and service interruption. We manage cross-platform migrations regularly and have a proven process for each route.

Cloud Backup Migration

If your current backup infrastructure is on-site tape, ageing NAS devices, or an expensive legacy platform, we migrate you to automated, encrypted cloud backup stored in UK-based, ISO 27001-certified facilities — tested regularly and verified to restore correctly.

Why West Midlands Businesses Choose Sentinel SecureTech for Cloud Migration

We are not just a migration team — we also provide managed IT services and cloud solutions across the West Midlands, so your environment is supported end to end after migration day.

Structured Migration Methodology — No Shortcuts

Every migration follows a documented process covering discovery, planning, pilot, execution, testing, and handover. Nothing is improvised. You receive a full migration plan before we start, and sign off on it before we touch anything

Zero Data Loss Guarantee

Before we migrate anything, we take verified backups and document your current environment in full. We test restores before starting. We have delivered hundreds of cloud migrations for West Midlands businesses without a single case of data loss.

Out-of-Hours Migration Windows

We schedule migrations to minimise disruption to your business. For most organisations, the majority of migration work happens overnight or over a weekend. Your team arrives the next working day to a fully operational environment.

Fixed Project Pricing — No Hourly Billing

Cloud migration projects are priced on a fixed basis. No hourly billing. No scope creep. You know the total cost before we start.

How Does the Cloud Migration Process Work?

Discovery & Assessment

We audit your current environment in full — servers, applications, data volumes, dependencies, and connectivity requirements. We identify risks, document everything, and give you a clear picture of what migration will involve. No obligation.

Migration Planning

We design your target cloud architecture and produce a detailed migration plan with timelines, rollback procedures, and success criteria. You approve the plan before any work begins. Nothing happens without your sign-off.

Pilot Migration

Where possible, we run a pilot migration on a subset of data or users first. This validates our approach, surfaces any issues in a controlled environment, and gives your team a chance to test before full cutover.

Full Migration

We execute the migration in agreed windows — typically overnight or over a weekend. A dedicated engineer monitors throughout and is available to respond immediately if anything requires attention

Testing & Handover

After migration, we run a comprehensive testing programme across every application, user account, and data source. We stay with you through the first working day and remain on standby for the first two weeks.
