A 200-person freight company moved off-prem in 90 days.

We migrated their core dispatch and accounting workloads to Azure, rebuilt their VPN architecture, and trained the in-house team to run it. Zero data loss, zero downtime over a long-weekend cutover.

90 days from assessment to final cutover
[ The challenge ]

Their dispatch and accounting ran on aging on-premise servers that were past warranty. A failed drive meant trucks could not be routed, and the hardware refresh quote came in higher than three years of cloud would cost.

[ Our approach ]

We inventoried every workload, mapped the dependencies, and moved the systems in waves over four weekends. The core dispatch cutover ran over a long weekend with a tested rollback ready at each step. We rebuilt the VPN so drivers and back-office staff connect the same way they always had.

[ The outcome ]
$140K / yr
In infrastructure savings
  • Dispatch and accounting running on Azure with no on-premise servers left
  • Zero data loss and zero unplanned downtime through the cutover
  • In-house IT trained to run the environment without us
  • Roughly $140,000 a year saved against the hardware refresh and maintenance
