DocksideHosting has personnel with active government security clearance available for projects requiring additional security considerations — supporting environments, workloads, and modernization initiatives that require personnel capable of working within controlled or sensitive settings.
From commercial Microsoft 365 to highly controlled government environments, DocksideHosting understands that architecture, deployment, security, integrations, and feature availability can differ significantly between Microsoft cloud environments.
Microsoft 365 modernization for businesses and enterprise organizations.
Microsoft 365 and Power Platform solutions for educational institutions.
Cloud modernization for U.S. government organizations and eligible government contractors.
Migration and modernization for organizations operating in higher-compliance Microsoft government environments.
Microsoft modernization capabilities for applicable Department of Defense environments.
Modernization is not simply a technical migration. Security, identity, governance, compliance, records management, data residency, permissions, and operational continuity must be considered throughout the project.
We Go Further Back Than Most Microsoft Consulting Firms — many organizations still depend on Microsoft platforms that have been unsupported for years. DocksideHosting specializes in helping organizations understand, untangle, migrate, and modernize these environments.
Alternative positioning: Deep Expertise in Microsoft Environments Others Have Left Behind
Microsoft Access databases frequently evolve into critical business applications containing years of business logic, forms, reports, queries, VBA, integrations, and institutional knowledge. DocksideHosting evaluates the complete application before determining the appropriate modernization path.
We do not simply recreate an Access database screen-by-screen — we evaluate the business process and design a modern architecture appropriate for the organization.
A full-lifecycle approach to moving legacy Microsoft environments into modern architecture.
Understand what exists before anything moves.
Evaluate farms, web applications, site collections, databases, customizations, workflows, integrations, and dependencies.
Move structured and unstructured data into modern Microsoft platforms.
Analyze legacy permissions and redesign access using modern identity and governance practices.
Replace aging workflows with Power Automate and modern Microsoft services.
Transform legacy SharePoint and Access applications into Power Platform solutions.
Replace aging integrations using APIs, Microsoft Graph, connectors, Azure services, and supported modern architecture.
Validate data, functionality, permissions, applications, workflows, and business processes.
Develop controlled migration waves and production transition plans.
Provide documentation, administrator guidance, architecture diagrams, and operational handoff.
DocksideHosting can continue modernization after the legacy environment has been moved — extending value across the Power Platform and Microsoft 365 stack.
A solution designed for Microsoft 365 Commercial cannot always be deployed unchanged into GCC, GCC High, or DoD environments. Service availability, connectors, integrations, authentication patterns, compliance requirements, release schedules, and architecture options may differ. DocksideHosting considers the target Microsoft cloud from the beginning of the modernization process.
Modernize legacy permission structures around appropriate access.
Design around Microsoft Entra ID and modern authentication.
Consider where information is stored, accessed, shared, and retained.
Build solutions with operational visibility and appropriate logging.
Support structured development, test, and production environments.
Modernize legacy applications without recreating outdated security patterns.
Organizations with one legacy application need a migration project. Organizations with hundreds need a migration program. DocksideHosting can establish a repeatable modernization framework for portfolios containing:
Hundreds of SharePoint sites
Multiple legacy farms
Large Access application inventories
Departmental applications
Legacy workflows
InfoPath forms
Custom solutions
Unsupported integrations
Instead of assessing only one SharePoint farm or Access database, DocksideHosting can assess an organization's entire legacy Microsoft footprint.
