Azure Cloud Migration Company in Amsterdam

QServices is a remote-first software consultancy offering Azure cloud migration to Amsterdam businesses in FinTech, Logistics, and Tech. We are not based in Amsterdam. We work with Dutch clients through fully remote engagements with CET morning overlap.

What Amsterdam buyers typically need from Azure cloud migration

Amsterdam's three main industries each bring distinct migration requirements. FinTech firms operating under DNB (De Nederlandsche Bank) supervision need cloud architectures that address data residency within EU regions, audit logging, and strict access controls from day one. Logistics companies need reliable uptime for real-time tracking and warehouse management systems. Tech companies building SaaS products need scalable cloud infrastructure that does not require a dedicated ops team.

Common project types we see in these sectors:

• Migrating on-premises banking or payments infrastructure to Azure with data residency in EU regions (West Europe, North Europe)
• Refactoring logistics applications to Azure Kubernetes Service for autoscaling and zero-downtime deployments
• Moving SaaS products from shared hosting to Azure App Service with Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines
• Replacing hardcoded secrets with Azure Key Vault and managed identities, a step most lift-and-shift projects skip and later regret
• Setting up Azure SQL with geo-redundancy and point-in-time restore for GDPR-regulated personal data

EU GDPR applies to every Amsterdam-based organisation processing personal data. For FinTech clients, DNB adds requirements around availability, incident response, and third-party risk management. These belong in the migration plan from day one, not tacked on during a compliance audit two years later.

How we work with Amsterdam clients

Our team is based in India and works in IST. Amsterdam is in CET (UTC+1 in winter, UTC+2 during CEST in summer). Our afternoon overlaps with Amsterdam's morning, giving roughly 4 hours of live working time daily, typically 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CET.

Standard engagement structure:

• Weekly standups (30 minutes, CET morning): Progress, blockers, and upcoming decisions that need your input
• Daily async updates: Written summaries posted to Slack or Microsoft Teams at end-of-day IST, ready before your workday starts
• Code reviews and pull requests: Responded to within one business day
• Milestone demos: Scheduled live in the CET morning window
• On-site visits: Available on request for major milestone reviews, with 3 to 4 weeks advance notice

We track work in Azure DevOps. You have direct access to sprint boards, backlogs, and deployment history. Architecture decisions that affect your GDPR or DNB compliance posture are documented and shared before implementation. Every AI-assisted task follows our Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) governance model: you review and approve before anything goes to production.

Relevant work in similar markets

We do not have a published case study for a Netherlands-based client. The two closest matches by industry and technology are below.

The SomBank engagement involved building compliant financial infrastructure on Azure for a regulated bank. The stack included Azure Service Bus, Azure B2C for identity management, Azure Key Vault for secrets handling, and Ocelot API Gateway. The same architecture patterns apply directly to DNB-regulated FinTech clients in Amsterdam who need secure, auditable cloud infrastructure. The platform launched with 100K+ downloads and a 4.8-star rating.

For Ergonnex, we built a SaaS platform on Azure using React 18, Next.js, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL, with AI-driven features and third-party connector integrations. This is directly relevant to Amsterdam Tech companies modernising legacy applications or building new SaaS products that need reliable cloud infrastructure.

What Azure cloud migration costs for a typical Amsterdam project

Project pricing is in USD. Amsterdam clients handle currency conversion. Indicative ranges for Azure cloud migration engagements:

• Small scope ($15,000 to $40,000): Single-application migration with secrets handling, managed identity, and a basic Azure DevOps pipeline. 6 to 10 weeks.
• Medium scope ($40,000 to $80,000): Multi-service migration including Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure SQL, and GDPR-aligned data residency configuration. 10 to 16 weeks.
• Large scope ($80,000 to $150,000): Full infrastructure migration for regulated workloads: Azure Key Vault, disaster recovery, audit logging, and full Azure DevOps pipeline coverage. 16 to 20 weeks.

For FinTech clients with DNB oversight, add 15 to 25 percent for regulatory overhead, covering audit logging, access control documentation, and third-party risk artefacts. For clients requiring a formal GDPR compliance review, add $5,000 to $20,000.

How to start working with us

Three steps to kick off an engagement:

1. Discovery call (30 minutes): We learn about your current infrastructure, your compliance requirements, and your target state on Azure. You decide whether we are the right fit.
2. Scoping document: Within 3 to 5 business days, we send a written scope covering timeline, team composition, cost range, and key technical decisions.
3. Project start: Once scope is agreed, we open the Azure DevOps workspace and begin the migration assessment.

Can you work with Amsterdam companies remotely?

Yes. All our Amsterdam client work is fully remote. We do not have an office in the Netherlands. Our primary communication tools are Microsoft Teams and Slack. Live calls use the CET morning window, typically 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CET.

For GDPR compliance, we can sign a Data Processing Agreement as a data processor under GDPR Article 28. All Azure workloads are deployed by default in EU regions (West Europe or North Europe) to satisfy data residency requirements. For FinTech clients under DNB oversight, we provide architecture documentation and third-party risk artefacts as part of the engagement.
