How long does a cloud migration take for a small business?

About 14 days from an agreed scope to a live system, once access is granted. Week one is the inventory and the target state; week two moves the data, sets roles and switches the old systems off in order. Larger stacks take longer; we say so after the inventory, not after the invoice.

Who owns the cloud account after the migration?

You do. Everything runs in an AWS or Google Cloud account in the company’s name. We hold no keys you cannot revoke, and rights in the custom code pass to you on full payment.

Do we have to stop using our ERP?

Only the systems nobody needs. The inventory shows what the team actually uses; the target state keeps the system of record and retires the duplicates. A customer, an order and a stock item end up living once.

What happens to the spreadsheets?

They are read into the new record, checked against the old system, and then retired one at a time. The team is trained on real work before the last sheet goes.

Do you do cloud migration for small manufacturers?

Yes. The manufacturing build on the library moved eleven ERP and spreadsheet systems to three on one AWS account the client owns, with data reconciled by row count and total before each old system was switched off. Google Cloud is the alternative where the client’s other systems live there.

One stack, under your own account.

Eleven systems and a pile of sheets become one. Nothing leaves your cloud account.

Manufacturing

Eleven ERP systems, none owned by a technical team, and the real work in spreadsheets on personal accounts.

We audited what was in use, agreed a target of three, rebuilt the warehouse, purchasing, production and HR workflows on one record, and moved it all into an AWS account the company owns.

11 systems to 3, every workflow rebuilt, one cloud account they own.

We can do the same for your business.
