Strata management platforms are the operational backbone of a strata company, handling correspondence, levies, compliance records, and owner portals. Any downtime or data inconsistency during a migration can directly impact scheme administration, owner communications, and client satisfaction.
Strata management platforms are business‑critical systems that support day‑to‑day scheme operations, financial processes, and regulatory reporting. Unlike email or file servers, these platforms often have complex integrations with accounting software, owner portals, and communication tools, making migration more sensitive. Any unplanned downtime, data loss, or performance degradation can disrupt levy processing, committee reporting, and owner services.
Strata teams cannot afford multi‑day outages while systems are rebuilt or reconfigured. Migration must be planned around peak periods such as levy cycles, AGM seasons, and month‑end reporting.
Scheme records, financial data, and correspondence must remain consistent throughout the migration, with no loss or corruption. Any discrepancy can create compliance issues and erode trust with committees and owners.
Strata platforms often integrate with accounting systems, email, document management, and owner portals, each with their own dependencies. These must be mapped and tested to avoid breaking critical workflows during migration.
Microsolve treats strata platform migration as a business transformation project, not just a technical lift‑and‑shift. Our phased approach starts with a detailed assessment of platform compatibility and dependencies, moves through parallel running and staged cutover by portfolio, and continues with post‑migration validation and support to ensure stable operations.
Microsolve reviews your current strata platform, integrations, data volumes, and vendor support to confirm AWS compatibility and identify risks. This informs whether to re‑host, re‑platform, or adopt a cloud‑native alternative.
We design the target AWS architecture, including compute, storage, networking, identity, and backup patterns, and create a migration plan with clear milestones and rollback options. This ensures each component is moved in a controlled, predictable way.
A pilot environment is stood up in AWS and run in parallel with production for a defined period, allowing validation of performance, integrations, and data consistency. Issues are identified and resolved before broader cutover.
Migration is executed in stages, for example by portfolio, scheme group, or functional area, so that any issues are contained and do not affect the entire business. This minimises impact on scheme administration and owner services.
After cutover, Microsolve validates key processes such as levies, correspondence, and reporting, and provides enhanced support during the stabilisation period. Ongoing management ensures the environment remains secure and well‑governed.

Microsolve maps technical, operational, and compliance risks associated with your current platform and proposed AWS architecture, and prioritises mitigation actions. This includes contingency plans for rollback and extended parallel running if required.
We work with your leadership and operations teams to plan communications around migration windows, expected impacts, and support arrangements so that staff and owners are informed and prepared. This reduces confusion and ensures that critical processes are protected.
Each migration stage is tested against defined success criteria, with sign‑off from business owners before proceeding. Microsolve maintains a migration governance log that tracks decisions, issues, and resolutions for audit and continuous improvement.
Microsolve's phased, risk-managed approach helps move you to the cloud with confidence and minimal disruptions. Book a short, no-obligation guided review of your current environment to get started.
Strata platforms are tightly integrated with accounting, owner portals, and correspondence systems, and they support critical financial and compliance processes. Any data inconsistency or downtime can directly impact scheme administration and owner trust.
Microsolve uses a phased approach that includes parallel running, pilot migrations, and staged cutover by portfolio or function, planned around peak periods such as levy cycles and AGMs. This contains risk and ensures that any issues affect only a limited part of the business.
Each migration stage has defined rollback points and contingency plans, so if issues arise you can revert to the previous stable state without prolonged disruption. Microsolve’s governance log tracks all decisions and issues to support rapid resolution.
Not necessarily. Microsolve assesses whether your current platform can be re‑hosted or re‑platformed on AWS, or whether a cloud‑native alternative is a better fit. The goal is to meet your strategic and compliance needs with minimal disruption.
Timelines vary depending on platform complexity, data volumes, and integration scope, but migrations are typically structured over weeks to months with careful staging. Microsolve provides a realistic timeline during the assessment phase based on your environment.
