Data Transfer Services
Move your data safely from old systems to new ones — without the stress.
Your data is what keeps your business moving — documents, emails, accounting files, case records, photos, and more. When it’s time to replace a computer, retire a server, or reorganize storage, you need to be confident nothing gets lost in the process.
Tomlin Technology’s data transfer services make it easy to move your information from one device or platform to another, securely and completely, so your team can keep working with minimal disruption.
Why Professional Data Transfer Matters
Dragging and dropping folders isn’t enough. Important data can live in hidden locations, user profiles, application folders, and cloud sync directories. A proper data transfer needs to be:
- Thorough – all user data, shared folders, and key applications are accounted for.
- Organized – new systems are set up logically so users can find what they need.
- Secure – sensitive information is protected during the move.
- Verified – we confirm that data arrives intact and accessible on the new system.
Our data transfer process is designed to handle all of that for you.
What We Can Transfer
- User Profiles & Documents – Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, and custom folders.
- Email & PST Files – Outlook data, archives, and local email files where applicable.
- Shared Network Data – mapped drives, department shares, and common folders.
- Line-of-Business Application Data – databases and data folders for key business applications (where supported).
- Cloud Storage Data – OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox, and other cloud sync locations.
- External Drives & Legacy Devices – USB drives, older PCs, and NAS devices, when accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you move everything from my old computer to my new one?
In most cases, yes. We transfer user profiles, documents, and many application data folders. Some applications may require a fresh install or additional configuration, which we’ll discuss with you during planning.
Will my data stay private?
Yes. Your data is handled only by Tomlin Technology technicians and is never copied to unapproved locations. We can also sign confidentiality agreements if needed for your industry or policies.
How long does a data transfer take?
Timing depends on the amount of data and the number of systems involved. Simple workstation-to-workstation transfers can often be completed in a few hours; larger projects are scheduled to minimize downtime.
Do you help users find their files after the move?
Absolutely. We walk users through their new system, confirm access to their files, and make adjustments if something needs to be relocated or relinked.
