Azure Cloud Migration Company in Dublin

QServices is a remote-first software consultancy based in India, delivering Azure cloud migration for Dublin businesses in Tech, FinTech, and Pharma. We do not have a Dublin office. Our engineering team works on IST (GMT+5:30), giving 3 to 4 hours of daily morning overlap with Dublin working hours.

What Dublin buyers typically need from Azure Cloud Migration

Dublin hosts the European headquarters of many global technology companies, a large FinTech sector supervised by the Central Bank of Ireland, and Pharma businesses operating under EU GDPR and the supervision of Ireland's Data Protection Commission. Project requirements here cluster around four areas:

• EU data residency under GDPR. Azure's North Europe region is hosted in Ireland. Dublin clients need landing zones locked to that region from day one, with documented data flows for a potential Data Protection Commission review. We configure this as a baseline, not an add-on.
• FinTech workloads under Central Bank of Ireland oversight. Payment systems, lending platforms, and regulated data stores require secrets handling, audit logging, and Azure Key Vault integration as part of the migration scope. A straight lift-and-shift typically fails a Central Bank audit on secrets management alone.
• Pharma and life-sciences data pipelines. Clinical and operational data moving off on-premises infrastructure requires GDPR-compliant storage, encryption at rest, and access controls documented for regulatory audit.
• Cost correction after a previous lift-and-shift. A pattern we see regularly: an earlier migration left apps running as-is on Azure, the bill is higher than expected, and nobody refactored to use managed services. We scope right-sizing and refactor work alongside new migrations.

Typical engagement timeline for a Dublin project: 6 to 20 weeks depending on the number of systems and compliance scope involved.

How we work with Dublin clients

Our team works in IST (UTC+5:30). Dublin runs on GMT in winter and UTC+1 during Irish Summer Time. That is a 5.5-hour gap in winter and 4.5 hours from late March through October. We address this by aligning our afternoon block (2:30 PM to 6:30 PM IST) with Dublin's working morning (9 AM to 1 PM GMT). You get 3 to 4 hours of live overlap each working day for standups, reviews, and unblocking conversations.

Our standard engagement cadence:

• Weekly 45-minute standup via Microsoft Teams or Slack, scheduled in Dublin's morning window.
• Async daily update in a shared channel: pull request links, blockers, and next-day plan posted before Dublin end-of-day.
• Bi-weekly demo of working software, recorded for stakeholders who cannot attend live.
• Architecture decisions documented before implementation, with a 24-hour async review window before any irreversible change.

On-site visits for milestone reviews are available by arrangement. Most clients find the async-first model sufficient once the first two sprints establish shared norms.

Relevant work in similar markets

We do not have a Dublin-based client we can name publicly. The two Azure migration engagements most relevant to Dublin's Tech and FinTech sectors are:

SomBank mobile payment platform (FinTech, Azure). We built and migrated the infrastructure for the first digital payment platform in Somalia, using Azure Service Bus, Azure B2C, Azure Key Vault, and an Ocelot API Gateway. The platform reached 100,000+ downloads with a 4.8-star rating on launch. The work required the same secrets management, auth hardening, and audit logging that Central Bank of Ireland-regulated FinTech in Dublin demands.

Ergonnex AI 360 (Technology SaaS, Azure). We built and deployed a project management SaaS platform on Azure using React 18, Next.js, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL, with real-time dashboards and AI-driven resource allocation. This is the architecture pattern we use when Dublin-based tech companies migrate existing SaaS workloads to Azure.

What Azure Cloud Migration costs for a typical Dublin project

Engagements are priced in USD. Dublin clients convert at the current EUR/USD rate. Scope drives cost more than location.

• Small scope ($15,000–$40,000): Lift-and-shift of 1 to 3 applications to Azure App Service and Azure SQL. Includes environment setup, basic monitoring, and one cost-optimisation review pass.
• Medium scope ($40,000–$80,000): Multi-service refactor with Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure DevOps pipelines, and Azure Key Vault integration. Suited to FinTech workloads where Central Bank of Ireland compliance documentation is required.
• Large scope ($80,000–$150,000): Full platform migration across multiple teams, with data pipelines, GDPR audit trail documentation, and third-party system integrations at $3,000 to $12,000 per system.

Add 15 to 25 percent for formal compliance artefacts under GDPR or Central Bank of Ireland requirements. Our rates run from $35 per hour (standard) to $65 per hour (senior architect). For a full breakdown, see our Azure Cloud Migration pricing page.

How to start working with us

Three steps to get started:

1. Discovery call (30 minutes). We discuss your current infrastructure, migration goals, and timeline. No sales pitch, just questions and honest scoping feedback.
2. Scoping document. Within one week, we send a written scope covering phases, team structure, milestones, and a cost range. This document is yours regardless of whether you proceed.
3. Project start. Once scope is agreed, we assign a dedicated team and begin the first sprint within two weeks.

Can Dublin companies work with a remote Azure migration team based in India?

Yes. The timezone gap is real but manageable. With 3 to 4 hours of live GMT morning overlap, standups, architecture reviews, and unblocking conversations happen without delaying your team's afternoon.

On data residency: we configure all Azure environments to use the North Europe (Ireland) region by default for Dublin clients, keeping data within the EU as required under GDPR. Oversight sits with Ireland's Data Protection Commission. We do not store client data on our infrastructure. Your Azure tenant, your data, your control.

On accountability: our Human-in-the-Loop governance model assigns a named QServices engineer to each workstream, with weekly written progress reports and a shared issue tracker. You know exactly who to contact. For Azure migration in regulated industries, see also our Azure Cloud Migration for FinTech page.
