Cloud Migration FAQs
Will our systems go down during migration?
We plan migrations to keep downtime as short as possible, usually moving in waves and scheduling cut-overs outside business hours, with a rollback plan ready.
Can our data stay in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. We can migrate to cloud regions and providers inside the Kingdom when data residency is required.
Which cloud provider is best?
It depends on your systems, budget and compliance needs. We compare options and recommend the best fit.
Will cloud be cheaper than our servers?
Often, but not automatically. We size resources carefully and set up cost monitoring so bills stay predictable.
How long does a migration take?
Small migrations can take a few weeks; larger estates are moved in phases over several months.
