/ Before and after
Before
A logistics company was running critical dispatch and operations software on aging on-premises servers approaching end of vendor support | Hardware refresh costs were significant, redundancy was poor, and a single server failure would halt operations.
After
Critical workloads were moved to Azure through scheduled rollout windows, pre-agreed rollback criteria, and cutover planning designed to protect weekday operations | Full runbooks, architecture documentation, and Azure configuration records were handed over at project close.
/ Delivery timeline
How the work moved from diagnosis to handover
The timeline keeps the proof story readable: current state, design decisions, controlled delivery, then handover evidence.
Diagnose
Mapped the current state, constraints, dependencies, and highest-risk failure points.
Design
Defined the operating model, rollout path, documentation needs, and rollback criteria.
Deliver
Executed the change in controlled phases with stakeholder updates and support coverage.
Handover
Closed with runbooks, access notes, configuration records, and next-step recommendations.
Problem
The Challenge
A logistics company was running critical dispatch and operations software on aging on-premises servers approaching end of vendor support. Hardware refresh costs were significant, redundancy was poor, and a single server failure would halt operations. The business needed cloud migration without impacting daily dispatch runs. Any weekday outage would have direct financial and client consequences. Previous internal attempts to plan the migration had stalled over risk concerns.
Intervention
Our Approach
BPro Technologies ran a four-week discovery and architecture phase to map all workloads, assess cloud readiness, and define migration sequencing. We designed an Azure landing zone with appropriate network segmentation, backup policies, and disaster recovery configuration. The migration was executed across three scheduled weekends (Friday evening to Sunday evening) with each weekend covering a defined workload scope, documented rollback criteria, and a go/no-go checkpoint before each phase began. On-call support was available throughout each window.
Measurable result
What changed after launch
Critical workloads were moved to Azure through scheduled rollout windows, pre-agreed rollback criteria, and cutover planning designed to protect weekday operations. Full runbooks, architecture documentation, and Azure configuration records were handed over at project close. The client now operates on infrastructure with documented RTO and RPO targets and automated backup testing.
- Controlled cutover with rollback criteria
- Workloads moved through scheduled rollout windows
- Full runbooks and architecture docs delivered at handover
- Automated backup and DR configuration in place
- Weekday operations unaffected throughout
