Cloud Technology Solutions launches CloudMigrator Online to enable self-service cloud migrations

Cloud Technology Solutions ( CTS ) is changing the cloud landscape for small and medium sized businesses ( SMBs ) with the launch of a new self-service cloud migration tool , CloudMigrator Online . The solution enables organisations to carry out their own G Suite migrations through a simple five step process , removing the need for external assistance .
CloudMigrator Online requires less technical knowledge than the current iteration of the software and is being targeted at direct customers to enable them to handle their own migrations in house .
The previous version of CloudMigrator is highly regarded by Google and has migrated over 6 million users from over 87 countries to the cloud with a 99.8 per cent success rate . As the tool required users to download a piece of software and then go through several technical steps to carry out their migration , CloudMigrator is launching the simpler service to drive more business from sub-100 user organisations that want a solution to migrate to Google without the need for specialist help .
CTS is encouraging businesses to test drive CloudMigrator Online with a free trial where they can migrate two user mailboxes to Google with unrestricted functionality .
