Cloud Migration

Empower your Business by
Unleashing it from its Technical Boundaries

Moving to the cloud isn’t about chasing trends — it’s about freeing your business from aging servers, capital refresh cycles, and the limits of your office walls. OPUS Consulting Group plans and executes cloud migrations that are measured, secure, and built around how your business actually works.

Why businesses migrate with OPUS. A poorly planned migration trades one set of problems for another. Our senior consultants — each with 15+ years of hands-on IT experience — assess your environment first: what should move, what should stay, and what should be retired. Then we migrate in stages, with rollback plans at every step, so your team keeps working throughout.

Our Migration Approach

  • Assess — full inventory of applications, data, dependencies, and compliance requirements
  • Plan — a staged migration roadmap with clear costs, timelines, and success criteria
  • Migrate — execution with continuous testing and zero-surprise cutovers
  • Optimize — right-sizing, cost control, and security hardening after the move

Microsoft cloud expertise. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we specialize in migrations to Microsoft 365 and Azure — from on-premises Exchange and file servers to fully cloud-native operations.

How we plan and run a migration

A poorly planned migration trades one set of problems for another. Ours start with an assessment rather than a cutover date, because the decisions that matter — what moves, what stays, what gets retired — are cheaper to make before anything is in flight.

What moves, what stays, what goes

Not everything belongs in the cloud. Some workloads run cheaper and faster on hardware you already own, and some cannot move at all because of licensing, latency or a vendor that has not caught up. We inventory what you are running, what it costs, and what depends on what. Then we sort it into three lists and tell you the reasoning behind each one. Anything staying on-premises is handled by our IT infrastructure team, so you end up with one coherent environment rather than two half-finished ones.

Microsoft 365 and Azure

Most migrations we run are into Microsoft 365 or Azure. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner we handle Exchange Online, SharePoint and OneDrive migrations, file server consolidation, and Azure workloads including servers that need to keep running exactly as they do today. Where the tenant needs configuring properly afterwards, our Microsoft integration work picks it up.

Staged cutovers with a way back

We migrate in stages, with a rollback plan at every step, so your team keeps working throughout. A big-bang cutover concentrates all the risk into one weekend and leaves you no options when something behaves unexpectedly at nine on Monday morning. Staging costs a little more time and removes most of the risk.

Protection moves with the data

Cloud does not mean backed up. Microsoft operates the service, but your data remains your responsibility, and built-in retention is not a backup. We make sure data backup and recovery is in place for the new environment before the old one is decommissioned, not after.

After the migration

Somebody has to run the result. Ongoing monitoring, patching, licence management and user support are part of our managed IT solutions. Our senior consultants each bring 15+ years of hands-on IT experience, our support desk is open 6:00 am to 11:00 pm Pacific seven days a week, and we attend on-site across Metro Vancouver while supporting clients across Canada, coast to coast.

A recent engagement

Anonymised, as all our case studies are. When we took over IT support for a small architectural practice, part of the work was deciding what actually belonged in the cloud. We are advising them on which services move to Azure and which are better kept on-premises — a question worth answering deliberately, service by service, rather than defaulting to all-in or standing still. The wider engagement, including the support transition it came out of, is on our managed services page.
