Cloud migration, done for you and done right.
We move small and mid-sized businesses to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Azure, and the cloud, without the downtime, the surprise costs, or the half-finished cutover that hits Monday morning. Free assessment first, written plan second, off-hours cutover third. You walk in to a working environment.
The right platform for how your team actually works.
We don't default to whatever's most familiar. The free assessment determines the right destination for your environment. Here's the shortlist most small businesses land on.
Microsoft 365
The fit for Office-heavy and regulated businesses. Excel, Word, Teams, SharePoint, and the strongest compliance tooling for HIPAA, GLBA, and CMMC environments.
Google Workspace
The fit for browser-first, collaborative teams. Real-time docs, simpler administration, lower per-user cost. Strong for marketing, creative, and consulting shops.
Azure & AWS
The layer underneath, for when on-premise servers and line-of-business apps need to move too. Used alongside Microsoft 365 or Workspace, not instead of them.
Hybrid & on-premise
Sometimes the right answer is keeping specific systems local. We build hybrid setups when compliance, hardware, or a line-of-business app requires it, and we'll tell you honestly when that's the case.
Seven steps, in order, with a gate after each.
This is the same process behind every BadgerLayer migration. The order matters more than the speed: each step is verified before the next begins. We wrote the whole methodology up in detail if you want to see how we work before you call.
Assessment
A complete picture of your infrastructure, data, dependencies, and compliance needs. The output is a written environment document.
Platform selection
Driven by the assessment, not by habit. We confirm every line-of-business app works on the chosen platform before committing.
Migration plan
What moves when, in what order, who owns each piece, and the rollback plan for every phase. You see and approve it before we start.
Security setup
MFA, access controls, encryption, and backup configured before any production data moves. This is where most migrations cut corners. We don't.
Data migration
Migrated in verified batches, not all at once. We clean up duplicates and dead accounts first, then move and verify each batch before the next.
Testing
Real users test real workflows before cutover. Email, files, apps, printers, and the rollback procedure, all verified while the old system still runs.
Cutover & support
Off-hours cutover with us on standby, old systems kept live as a fallback, user training, and 30 days of post-migration support to catch the small stuff.
The platform never causes the failure. The handoff does.
Microsoft, Google, and Amazon don't lose your data. Migrations go wrong in the handoff: an undiscovered line-of-business app, security configured after the move instead of before, a cutover crammed into a weekday with no rollback plan. Those are the failures we're hired to prevent, and the ones we're hired to clean up after someone else attempted the move.
Doing it right takes a process and someone accountable to it. That's what a fixed-scope engagement buys: a documented plan, security built in from the start, and one team that owns the outcome from assessment through the 30 days after cutover.
