01
Discovery and inventory
We map servers, storage, applications, identities and data flows so the starting point is clear.
- Asset and ownership register
- Application dependency map
Cloud migration Liverpool
Move to the cloud without the migration migraines.
Legacy servers, shared files and business applications need a careful route into Azure, AWS or another suitable platform. G&J Warrington Infrastructure plans the work around your people, your data and your trading hours.

The method
A proven six-step migration path.
Good cloud migration planning removes surprises early. We set owners, dependencies, test points and communication dates before anyone changes production.
02
Readiness assessment
We test technical fit, security posture, performance baselines and likely costs before recommending a route.
- Risk and readiness scorecard
- Prioritised remediation list
03
Migration planning
We choose rehost, replatform or refactor for each workload, then set sequencing, owners and change windows.
- Phased migration roadmap
- Cost and capacity forecast
04
Testing and pilot
A representative workload moves first. We check integrations, access, performance and user tasks before wider change.
- Test evidence and acceptance criteria
- Stakeholder sign-off record
05
Cutover with rollback
We coordinate the change freeze, communications, final checks and controlled switch. The reversion route is ready before the window opens.
- Cutover runbook and contact tree
- Rollback decision points
06
Post-migration support
Hypercare covers performance tuning, user questions, documentation and a measured handover into ongoing management.
- Handover pack and operating guide
- 30-day support review
Readiness first
Know before you move.
A cloud readiness assessment gives your team a practical starting point. We look past the server list and examine the links between systems, users, security controls and day-to-day work.
- Infrastructure inventory and dependency mapping
- Performance baselines, security posture and access risks
- Azure, AWS and hybrid cost projections
- A tailored roadmap with clear next decisions

What we move
Whatever you're moving, we've done it.
Some businesses need a single weekend cutover. Others need a hybrid transition over several months. We shape the route around operational risk.
Servers and infrastructure
Move physical or virtual workloads into right-sized Azure or AWS services with tested network and identity controls.

Plan Microsoft 365 migration, SharePoint structures and permissions so staff can find the information they need.

Assess rehost, replatform or refactor options for line-of-business systems, including integration and user testing.

The critical window
Zero-drama cutover, always with a plan B.
Cutover is a controlled operation. Your people know when change starts, what they should expect and who makes the call if conditions change.
The cutover checklist
- Agree a low-impact window and change freeze.
- Send a plain-English communication plan to stakeholders.
- Run final backups, validation checks and access tests.
- Keep the migration lead available throughout hypercare.
Measured result: a 200-user professional services firm completed its move with two hours of planned downtime and a documented return route.
Rollback flow
1Monitor validation checks and business sign-off
2Pause the change if an agreed threshold is missed
3Revert within the defined recovery time objective
4Review evidence and set the next safe window
After go-live
We don't disappear after go-live.
The first month matters. We stay close while users settle in, costs become visible and the new environment proves itself under normal working pressure.
Hypercare
Immediate support for the first 30 days after cutover.
- Performance tuning
- Issue triage
- User questions
Handover
Your team receives clear records rather than a folder of unexplained settings.
- Architecture notes
- Runbooks and ownership
- Training sessions
Ongoing management
Move into managed cloud services when you want a steady operational partner.
- Monitoring and response
- Cost reviews
- Security improvements
