Our work · Cloud

On-premises to cloud, without the disruption.

Ageing on-premises servers retired and everything moved to the cloud, with every device managed through Microsoft Intune, locked down with WDAC and running a standard Windows 11 build.

On-premises servers migrated to the cloud, with a device compliance dashboard and a laptop setting itself up automatically

Your IT, wherever your people are

On-premises servers need power, cooling, backups and constant patching - and they tie your people to the building. We move identity, files and device management to the cloud, so staff can work securely from anywhere and new laptops set themselves up straight out of the box. Every device is managed through Microsoft Intune, protected with Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC) and running Windows 11.

How we deliver

  1. Audit your servers, data, applications and devices, and plan a phased move that keeps everyone working.
  2. Move user accounts and sign-in to the cloud, with multi-factor authentication and conditional access.
  3. Migrate file shares and data to cloud storage, with permissions mapped and tested before cut-over.
  4. Enrol every device in Microsoft Intune, with zero-touch setup so new laptops configure themselves out of the box.
  5. Build a standard Windows 11 configuration with encryption, update rings and security baselines, and lock it down with WDAC so only approved apps can run.
  6. Decommission the old servers once everything is proven, and hand over full documentation.

Why choose Next Gen

A cloud move touches every user and every device, so we plan it carefully and phase it to avoid surprises. Application control in particular needs to be done properly - we build and test WDAC policies against the apps you actually use before enforcing them, so security goes up without getting in the way of work.

Locked-down devices

WDAC means only approved, trusted applications can run.

Zero-touch setup

New laptops enrol and configure themselves, ready to use in minutes.

No servers to maintain

Less hardware to power, patch and replace, and fewer single points of failure.
