why switch

Linux isn’t a compromise. It’s the upgrade.

The reasons small and medium businesses stay on Linux once they move.

£0

Zero licensing

Own your stack instead of leasing it, seat by seat, forever.

On your schedule

Systems change when you decide — not when a vendor ends support to force a purchase.

No black boxes

Open source means nothing you can’t inspect, and no one holding your data hostage.

Built to last

Linux runs happily on hardware Windows would have quietly retired years ago.

how a migration goes

From Windows to yours, in six steps

No big-bang switch-off. We move you across in stages, and prove each one works before the next.

STEP 01

Audit

We inventory your software, licences, hardware, and how your team actually works.

STEP 02

Plan

You get a migration map — replacements, timeline, and costs — agreed upfront.

STEP 03

Pilot

We migrate one team or machine first and prove it works before touching the rest.

STEP 04

Migrate

We roll out in stages, with your data moved intact and nothing lost along the way.

STEP 05

Train

Your team learns the new tools hands-on, before they depend on them day to day.

STEP 06

Support

We stay on for administration, updates, and the occasional 3pm question.
