IT & Data Center Migration
Complete comprehensive challenges successfully
Consolidation- Migration - Deconstrution
We are at your site with our experience
Service tailored according to your requirements
Comprehensive migration and consolidation projects cannot be implemented within the daily business using the existing resources.
We provide you with everything you need.
Planning
For time-critical activities and relocations of complete data centers, where the implementation with all preparations reaches an appropriate extent and a high degree of complexity, we are at your side with our project management. We support you in the requirements analysis and business impact analysis, so that you can communicate the expected costs and effects of a migration to management and business clearly and at an early stage. We enable your technical departments to concentrate on the various challenges of the move.
Preparation
Depending on the scope of the project, we support you in the preparations as required. The focus is on working closely with your specialist teams - it is the key to a delay-free and successful implementation for migrations under demanding conditions. Preparations include a variety of tasks that go far beyond normal day-to-day business and require additional resources.

Execution
For the actual migration, we include the coordination of the process, the technicians and the removal teams on the migration dates, as well as tests and trial runs in advance. The aim is to enable a smooth migration within the planned time frames without being blocked by existing but unidentified problems.
Closure
Once migration is complete, sites are often to be dismantled to a certain extent. We take over the recycling of decommissioned IT equipment including data destruction and data carrier destruction, as well as the removal of existing infrastructure.
