We've migrated live systems
We've moved production databases between servers and environments, upgraded them in place and cut over live apps, with archived backups and validation at every step.
Backendz moves your servers, applications and databases to Azure or AWS in planned, tested stages, with your data checked at every step and a way back if anything goes wrong. Your team keeps working while we move.
Or see how we engage first — four shapes, no sales call required.
No more servers that would take the business down if they failed tonight
Stop putting off the migration because nobody wants the risk
Forget a weekend cut-over that turns into a lost week
Done with data that no one has checked actually arrived
Skip paying for old hosting and new cloud at the same time for months
Say bye to a migration that copies every old problem into the cloud
We've moved production databases between servers and environments, upgraded them in place and cut over live apps, with archived backups and validation at every step.
Each stage has a tested rollback, so a problem means a short pause, not a crisis.
We validate record counts and key data after every move.
Where it's cheap to fix something during the move, we do; where it isn't, we leave it for later rather than risk the migration.

Most enquiries land in one of these. If yours does not, say so on the call — we would rather shape the engagement than sell you the nearest shape we have.
Best for: businesses planning their first move to the cloud
Best for: urgent moves and end-of-life hardware
Best for: databases hitting size, version or performance limits
Best for: apps worth keeping that need less maintenance
Every card is a build we shipped and still support. Open one for the decisions behind it.
What falls inside this service. Nothing here is an upsell discovered later.
The sequence matters more than the label. Skipping the first one is how projects in this area go wrong.
We map every server, app, database and the dependencies between them.




Operations directors, CTOs and plant managers — the ones still using the system a year after the invoice cleared.
Freight operator · 14 depots
Freight operator · 14 depotsWe wanted answers our team could check against the original document. Having the relevant clause beside the response makes the assistant useful when reviewing policies and contracts.
Our rental journey had to work for both vehicle owners and travellers. Backendz brought listings, availability and bookings together into a platform that feels straightforward to use.
A single headcount does not tell us where congestion is developing. The zone-based view gives our team a clearer picture of how people are moving and where attention may be needed.
Tender preparation involves gathering evidence and getting the right people to review each section. Backendz brought those steps into one workspace, with drafts our team can check and approve.
Our estimating process needed to reflect how we actually price work. Backendz took time to understand the inputs and rules, then built a quoting journey our team could review and refine.
Thomas MitchellManaging Director at Ridgewell Roofing & CladdingThe team took time to understand how our staff work between appointments. The resulting system brings scheduling and client information together without making the day more complicated.
We could review working features throughout the build and give specific feedback. That made it easier to keep the product focused on the people using it.
Our field team needed access to job details away from the office. The mobile workflow keeps the relevant information close at hand and gives the office a clearer view of progress.
We wanted a client portal that reflected how we deliver our services. Backendz brought documents, requests and progress updates into a straightforward experience for clients and staff.
Our teams were entering the same information into several tools. Backendz mapped the process with us and built a more connected workflow with clear review points.
We needed scheduling, availability and shift changes in one place. Backendz shaped the system around the way our operations team works and stayed involved after launch to help us refine it.
Ask for references and we will put you on a call with the team that runs the system — not a case study PDF.

We wanted a practical way to review PPE and safety-zone events using our existing cameras. The team focused on the situations our site managers need to investigate and made the footage easier to review.
The priority was a counting workflow our warehouse team could use during a normal shift. Backendz connected image-based counts with the records we already use and made discrepancies easier to review.
Our information was spread across several operational systems. Backendz designed a clearer way to ask questions, inspect the supporting evidence and keep approval with our team before an action is taken.
The reconciliation workflow gives our finance team one place to review mismatches and supporting records. We can trace an exception back to its source and decide what needs attention.
We had outgrown the spreadsheets that held our pricing rules. Backendz helped turn that knowledge into a quoting tool we can maintain and explain to new colleagues.
Connecting our sales and inventory systems was the priority. The integration gives our team a clearer view of updates and a practical way to investigate records that need review.
The cloud work started with understanding our existing systems and dependencies. The team documented the setup and gave us a clearer basis for monitoring and ongoing maintenance.
The engineers worked alongside our team and explained their decisions clearly. Code reviews and practical documentation helped us stay involved throughout delivery.

The things people ask before they commit.
Ask it on the call. We would rather answer an awkward question early than discover it in month three.
Book a callCloud migration is moving a business's servers, applications, databases and files from on-site hardware or a hosting provider into a cloud platform such as Azure or AWS. It can be a straight move, or include changes so systems use managed cloud services and cost less to run.
A single application or database can move in days. A full migration of several servers and systems usually runs over weeks, delivered in planned waves. An initial assessment typically takes 1 to 3 weeks. [CONFIRM]
Usually very little. Most of the work happens in parallel with your current systems, and the final cut-over is scheduled for a quiet period. Planned downtime is typically measured in minutes or hours, agreed with you in advance.
Lift and shift, or rehosting, moves servers and applications to the cloud as they are, without changing the code. It's the fastest route off old hardware; other approaches move apps onto managed services so there's less to maintain afterwards.
Often, but not always. The cloud removes hardware, maintenance and replacement costs, but badly sized cloud resources can cost more. Backendz compares current and cloud costs before the migration and sizes the new setup to match real usage.
Yes. Azure and AWS both have UK regions, and Backendz can keep your data in UK data centres to support UK GDPR and client requirements.
