Crown corporations

Modernize without interrupting essential services.

For Crown corporations: move off ageing or costly platforms in planned stages, each with a way back, onto Canadian infrastructure at 99.999% uptime, with reporting your board and auditors can review.

What has to hold while you modernize

Services that cannot stop

Essential services that cannot pause for a platform change, with work planned around your operating calendar.

Ageing or costly platforms

Virtualization and hardware that cost more every renewal. We move workloads onto Canadian infrastructure in planned stages, without a disruptive cut-over.

Systems that must keep talking

New infrastructure that connects to the applications, networks and identity systems you already run.

Governance that wants evidence

Service reporting and recorded restore tests that your board, governance and audit teams can review.

Staged migration

Every stage verified, every stage reversible.

We move systems in stages, starting with the lowest risk. Each stage is checked before the next one starts, and each has a way back.

From untested backups to a recovery plan

The situation
A Crown corporation's backups run every night, but nobody has tested a full restore.
What Robson does
Robson agrees recovery point and recovery time objectives for each system, then schedules and records restore tests.
What changes
The corporation can show its governance and audit teams that recovery works, not only that backups run.

Common questions

How do you avoid an outage during migration?

By moving in stages. Each stage is verified before the next starts, and each has a way back, so essential services keep running throughout.

What reporting do we get?

Service reporting and recorded restore tests that your governance and audit teams can review. We agree the format and frequency with you.

What uptime can we expect?

Our infrastructure runs at 99.999% uptime. The service commitment for your deployment is written into your agreement.

The first meeting

We start with the services you must keep running and how they connect to the systems you already operate.

It helps to bring

  • Systems in scope and the services they support
  • Integration points with existing systems
  • Reporting and escalation expectations
  • Recovery objectives, if they are already set
