Setup and migration

Setup or migration service available
Yes
How the setup or migration service works
Moving to and from us is a simple process, we uphold the principle that the system is yours to do with as you wish. We will never charge for off-boarding your data.

On-boarding and off-boarding will follow a similar principle, we will agree a maintenance window your yourselves and your existing/new provider if applicable and work out the best way to complete the process.

We can either transfer your data from your new providers systems directly, usually via secure file copy (depending on access constraints) to retrieve the data. Alternatively, we are happy to rebuild your data from compressed archives if this is the preferred method of transfer. We will use secure protocols whichever method is chosen.

A third option is to migrate data at the application level which may be appropriate for smaller system or where a full data copy is not the goal.
