Serious IT. Serious engineers. No faff.

Microsoft platform, servers, networks, cloud. For businesses large and small, here and abroad.

Transitions A migration that has to land on the date. Plan the move
The Centraline office in Cardiff: the lit Centraline sign on a timber wall by the entrance, with the engineering floor working beyond it.

Most providers hand you a package. We hand you a plan.

Most providers run you through the same onboarding checklist and call it a service. We start harder. First we learn your business properly: the weak points, what your spend is buying, where the work gets stuck. Then we build to fix it. We have built some of the largest environments in the field ourselves, so we know what a sound design looks like in practice.

Why Centraline

Whatever brought you here, we've got IT in hand.

A big move on the calendar.

A migration, an office move or a merger that lands on the deadline and stays landed. We have relocated an entire data centre to another country, so the cutover is planned and reversible rather than a risk taken out of hours.

Transitions

Grown past your own systems.

A platform built for the business you are now, not the one you were when somebody first set it up. Identity, email and the cloud rebuilt around the way you work now, ready for the next stretch of growth instead of buckling under it.

Microsoft platform

Weighing up the cloud.

A straight answer on what belongs in the cloud and what is cheaper and simpler kept on your own kit. We keep workloads on-premises where that is the better choice, connect the rest through Azure, and complete the migration in full.

Cloud migrations

Carrying a regulator.

Every requirement met with evidence you can hand to an auditor. We build the controls in and gather the evidence as we go, so a review is a formality rather than a scramble.

Talk to us

Handed a mess to run.

A large estate with no documentation, processes or roadmap, brought into a structure that is properly understood and supported. We take over estates like this for a living, map the dependencies and document them, so the next decision is made on a clear record of what you run.

Systems & security

Just want it run well.

Nothing on fire, you simply want it done right and kept that way. Bring us in for one project, keep an engineer on hand, or hand the lot over to be fully managed.

Ways to engage

The whole stack,
engineered as one.

Identity

Active Directory and Entra, joiners and leavers handled. Who can reach what, documented and provable, instead of a tenant no one has reviewed in years.

Identity
Microsoft 365

Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, Intune and Defender, run as one platform rather than six logins. Your invoices reach the inboxes they should, and impersonation and spoofing attempts are blocked.

Microsoft 365

AI made safe to switch on. We put your data in order first, so Copilot is safe to use rather than a source of accidental exposure.

We get the AI tools your teams already use ready for real work: permissions tightened, sensitivity labels set, shadow AI on unmanaged devices shut out. So the answers come only from information people are meant to see.

AI
Hybrid & Azure

The cloud where it earns its keep, your own servers where they are cheaper to own outright. Linked through Azure Arc and managed as a single environment.

Hybrid & Azure
Migrations

Tenant moves, server swaps, whole data centres relocated. Built clean and moved in stages, with the old environment kept running as a fallback until the new one is proven.

Migrations
Factor1

Sensible security runs through everything we build. When it needs to go further, Factor1, our security arm in the Centraline Group, hardens the environment and proves the controls hold.

Factor1

Resilience you can actually point to.

Backups restored, failovers run, the evidence handed over.

Highlighted engagements

See it through.

When something gets through, Factor1 finds it, contains it and fixes the cause. The rest of the time, the same team builds the defences, watches them and answers for them.

You'll see it work before you have to rely on it.

Mapping, building and proving, in the order you sign off.

How we work

Tell us what you are running, the awkward parts too.

Send us your setup, including the bits you are not sure about. You will get a straight read on what we would tackle first and a clear plan for getting there, with no jargon and no obligation. Pick up the phone or drop us a message.
