Moving to the Cloud Without Interrupting Business Operations

We needed a cloud move that was safe, followed all the rules, and didn’t mess things up or cost a fortune. Centizen crushed it. They planned ahead, kept everything running smoothly, locked down security, and finished early. They didn’t just do what we asked—they went above and beyond.
