Cloud Migration

Order Service


Cloud migration is a strategic management solution that offers businesses flexibility, security and stable operations, regardless of their offices’ and employees’ physical locations. 


Cloud services enable companies to store and process large volumes of data without having to maintain their own server infrastructure, quickly scale IT resources and optimise operating costs. 

Transitioning to a cloud system offers a secure conduit for accessing corporate information from anywhere in the world, ensuring uninterrupted business operations and augmenting the collective cyber resilience of the company. 

At BDO in Ukraine, we support businesses at every stage of their cloud migration journey: from the initial assessment to the implementation of solutions and staff training. We don’t just help with data transfer, we also create a reliable digital foundation for companies to develop sustainably. 

As part of our service, we help businesses to: 

  • transfer server capacity and corporate data to a secure cloud environment 
  • organise effective remote or hybrid working for employees 
  • reduce dependence on local IT infrastructure 
  • enhance cybersecurity and data protection. 


Our approach to cloud migration 

Conducting an initial analysis of the company’s IT infrastructure, assessing its readiness for cloud migration, identifying risks and formulating practical recommendations for the optimal migration model and further digital transformation. 

Transferring servers and data to the Microsoft Azure cloud environment or to a Western hosting in compliance with security requirements and organisation of secure employee access via VPN. 

Implementing tools for collaboration, communication and cloud data storage based on Microsoft 365, including Office 365, Exchange Online, Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint. 

Training company employees to work with cloud services with a focus on the effective use of tools and the secure handling of corporate information. 

Providing consultations on the current level of cybersecurity and identifying areas for strengthening data protection in the cloud environment. 


When should businesses consider migrating to the cloud? 

Businesses should consider moving to the cloud if operational stability and data access are critical to their daily operations and management decision-making. 

Cloud solutions become particularly relevant when a company: 

  • faces power outages or unstable local infrastructure 
  • needs continuous access to corporate systems and data regardless of the office location
  • is transitioning to a remote or hybrid working
  • seeks to minimise the risk of business downtime due to technical or infrastructure factors 
  • plans to scale up without investing in its own servers. 


Migrating to the cloud ensures business continuity, even during power outages, because data and critical systems are stored in secure data centres outside the company’s local infrastructure.

Cloud infrastructure allows companies to maintain data access and maintain their business operations even during power outages and other infrastructure risks.
