Lift & Shift
Lift and Shift is an approach for migrating your hosted applications, infrastructure, and services to the cloud. When looking to save money on infrastructure costs or moving systems off of aging hardware, lift and shift may be a viable strategy, preserving your existing architecture while leveraging the benefits of modern cloud technology.
Historically, moving servers from on-premises to the cloud was no small task—requiring significant planning & downtime. The moves were not always successful and different approaches were needed depending on if the server was physical or virtual. That story has changed. Using the latest in offerings from Microsoft, servers can be quickly and easily moved to Azure with little to no impact on business operations.

SharePoint
B&R’s roots date back to the birth of SharePoint. As one of the most established SharePoint service providers in North America, B&R’s white-glove services include pre-migration data analysis, version-to-version upgrades, on-premises and Microsoft 365 migrations, migration of third-party/legacy platforms to SharePoint/Microsoft 365, and hybrid configuration.
With over 15 years of experience tackling challenging upgrades, B&R has perfected a proven methodology and process to ensure a successful transition with minimal downtime and business impact.
Legacy Apps
Legacy applications present a number of challenges for organizations. These include risks associated with running on unsupported hardware or software, architecture that hinders web-enablement or integration with contemporary platforms, a scarce talent pool, and higher response time for customers due to limitations in scalability.
B&R has deep experience in moving applications to modern platforms. Our goal is to help customers transform legacy applications to become more agile, efficient, and cost effective through the power of the cloud. Whether you need to migrate your existing IT systems and data to the cloud, re-platform, start from scratch, or remediate your outdated legacy applications, B&R has the team you can rely on.
File Servers
File servers & shared drives have been a way of life. While easy to setup and use, they have many limitations, driving organizations to move their shares to a variety of services including SharePoint, OneDrive & Azure file storage. B&R has migrated hundreds of terabytes of file share data to the cloud & can work with you to establish & successfully execute your migration plan.
