Platform migration

Move from Windows to Linux without losing daily operations.

Picologic helps companies replace Windows dependencies where it makes economic and technical sense: desktops, servers, file services, development environments and operational workflows.

What we check first

A migration only works when the real workplace is understood. We document applications, device drivers, printers, shared folders, authentication, licences, macros, specialist software and support processes before proposing a target architecture.

  • Which Windows applications are business-critical?
  • Which services can move to Linux, web applications or managed SaaS?
  • Where do users need training, fallback access or a transition period?
  • Which data, permissions and backups must remain auditable?

Migration tracks

Desktop migration

Linux workstations for office, browser, mail, collaboration, remote access and development workflows, including hardware checks and user onboarding.

Server migration

File services, web services, databases, automation jobs, monitoring and backup processes moved to maintainable Linux infrastructure.

Hybrid operation

Controlled coexistence where selected Windows systems remain available for legacy applications while new work moves to Linux.

Pragmatic rollout

  1. 1Inventory: systems, users, applications, data and constraints.
  2. 2Decision map: keep, replace, virtualize, migrate or retire.
  3. 3Pilot: a small user group and representative workloads.
  4. 4Migration: staged rollout with backups, documentation and fallback paths.
  5. 5Operation: updates, monitoring, support handover and user guidance.

When Linux is a good fit

Linux is strongest when work is browser-based, server-driven, development-heavy, infrastructure-oriented or security-sensitive. We do not force a migration where a controlled Windows or hybrid setup is the better business decision.

Typical risks we actively manage

  • Line-of-business software that only runs on Windows.
  • Office macros, templates and document compatibility.
  • Peripheral devices such as scanners, label printers and specialty hardware.
  • Identity, permissions, shared folders and auditability.
  • User acceptance, training effort and support load after launch.
