Case Study: NFI achieves seamless cloud migration and stronger fleet operations with Trimble

NFI Positions Dedicated Business For Long-Term Growth and Security

NFI needed to modernize its transportation IT infrastructure while keeping fleet operations running with minimal disruption, especially during the move from on-premises servers to the cloud. Working with Trimble and Microsoft, NFI used Trimble’s cloud solutions for transportation management and fleet maintenance to support a cloud-first strategy and avoid surprises during the transition.

Trimble helped NFI execute a detailed lift-and-shift migration to Microsoft Azure, with careful planning and a long discovery phase to replicate the environment nearly identically. The result was a smoother migration with far less downtime: database migration time dropped from an estimated 8–10 hours to just 1–2 hours, and the project delivered an impressive ROI while minimizing operational disruption.
