How long does a cloud migration take for a Singapore SME?
A focused migration — a handful of servers and one or two applications — typically runs four to eight
weeks from discovery to cut-over. Larger migrations with legacy ERPs or 10+ servers can stretch to three
or four months. I always propose a fixed-scope timeline after the discovery call, not open-ended
billing.
Do you work with companies still on on-premise servers?
Yes. A lot of Singapore SMEs are still on physical servers or legacy hosting. I handle hybrid setups
and phased migrations — you don't have to be cloud-ready to start. I scope the steps, de-risk the
cut-over, and keep your team running throughout.
Can you work alongside our existing IT vendor or in-house team?
Often, yes. I frequently slot in as a specialist layer — for example, running the AI projects while
your current MSP handles day-to-day helpdesk, or providing cloud expertise while your internal team owns
user support. I draw clear lines of responsibility upfront so nothing falls between the cracks.
What's the smallest project you'll take on?
I scope based on the work, not a minimum fee. A quick call usually clarifies whether a short advisory
engagement, a narrow proof-of-concept, or a full project is the right shape. If your ask is lighter than
I can run with, I'll say so and often point you toward a free or lower-cost option instead.
Do you help Singapore SMEs claim government grants like PSG or EDG?
I scope projects in a way that aligns with pre-approved Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG) or
Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) categories where relevant, and provide the documentation your
IMDA-appointed vendor partner will need. LytechLabs isn't a PSG pre-approved vendor across every category,
so I tell you upfront when a grant applies and when it doesn't.
Do you work with companies outside Singapore?
The core focus is Singapore SMEs — English-speaking, SGT working hours, SGD invoicing, and PDPA-aligned
data handling. I occasionally take on clients elsewhere in South-east Asia when the fit is right, but I
don't pretend to be everywhere.
