MageCloud were engaged to step in and complete a Magento migration project that a previous agency had failed to complete. Discover how the project was completed working to tight budget and timescale restrictions.
Evaris is a leading UK B2B IT supplier delivering a wide range of hardware, software, and managed IT services to organisations in both the private and public sectors, helping businesses and institutions scale and operate more efficiently.
The Challenge
Evaris were in the process of migrating their shop from M1 to M2 and were working with a UK agency that ultimately failed to complete the project. Consequently, Evaris had to quickly find a competent Magento agency to step in and finish the migration working to a tight budget and timescales.
Why They Chose MageCloud
After an initial scoping call and some discovery work, we could define a prioritised roadmap for completion of the Magento migration within the required budget and timescales.
The client appreciated our agile and proactive approach. We quickly progressed from fixing issues and troubleshooting to discussions regarding advanced functionality that had never been on the agenda with the original developers.
Having initially been selected to provide development support, we quickly established ourselves as the trusted technology partner for Evaris and have since been retained for the launch of a second eCommerce store on Magento.
We came across MageCloud when searching for a Magento Partner to rescue our Magento 1 to 2 migration. Right from the start I found them to be knowledgeable, approachable and responsive.
Paul and his team are easy to work with and have always gone the extra mile delivering exceptional value for money compared to other agencies we’ve previously worked with. Highly recommend!

Work Process
In addition to the problems reported by the client, we also identified and fixed a variety of additional software and technical issues as a part of our comprehensive review.
When Evaris quizzed us about their plans to launch a new store to promote a different brand, we suggested deploying the new shop using Magento multistore functionality. We built the store from scratch and launched the site just 2 months later saving the client significant time and money compared to other quotations they received.
Beyond the Development
Right from the start, our relationship with Evaris was always more than just “develop me what I need”. The client frequently turned to us for consultancy support. We were able to add value through our ability to analyse and feedback both from a technical and a commercial perspective.
What I respect about Magecloud is our honest and transparent relationship. If you think something is a bad idea you always tell me, even if it’s to your detriment financially. In that sense, I regard you as an extension of our internal team.

You can hire Magento 2 migration experts through specialized agencies with proven case studies. MageCloud helped a UK B2B store complete a failed M1 to M2 migration and now provides ongoing support and development.
An experienced Magento agency can ensure near-zero downtime by planning migration stages, testing in parallel environments, and deploying efficiently. In this case, MageCloud completed the migration under tight deadlines without disrupting business operations.
To ensure data integrity, migration must include structured data transfer, validation, and testing. MageCloud audited and fixed multiple issues during the project, ensuring accurate transfer of products, customer data, and integrations.
Magento 1 to Magento 2 migration involves data transfer, redesign, extension updates, and performance optimization. In this project, MageCloud stepped in after a failed attempt and delivered a fully functional M2 store within budget and timeline.
Look for agencies that offer both migration and long-term support. MageCloud not only completed the Magento 2 migration for this UK B2B store but also became their ongoing technology partner for maintenance and future development.
