Cloud Solutions
Microsoft 365 and Azure, set up properly — and backed up in a way that actually restores.
Cloud done right cuts hardware cost and lets people work anywhere. Done badly it opens a security hole and a licensing bill nobody understands. We handle the setup, the identity layer and the backups.
What’s included
Microsoft 365 & Azure
Migration, identity and access management, and hybrid deployments tuned for how your people actually work.
Data protection & compliance
Backup, disaster recovery and email management including DMARC, SPF and DKIM enforcement.
Virtual desktops (VDI)
Secure, high-performance desktops for remote teams — without shipping laptops around the country.
Hybrid cloud
Strategies that blend what you already own on-premises with the cloud services worth paying for.
Cloud backup
COVE Data Protection, Acronis, Synology NAS, Axcient and AvePoint Element — tested on a schedule, not assumed.
Licence optimisation
Licences matched to actual usage, so you stop paying for seats and tiers nobody touches.
Common questions
No. Mail is delivered to both the old and new systems during the cutover window, so nothing bounces and nothing is lost. We pre-stage mailboxes with BitTitan, run a delta sync at cutover, and schedule the switch outside working hours. Users typically notice only that they have to sign in once on the following morning.
Not in the way most people assume. Microsoft protects the platform — you are responsible for your own data. The default retention windows are short, and once they lapse, deleted mail, SharePoint files and OneDrive content are gone. We add third-party backup through COVE, Acronis, Axcient or AvePoint Element with retention you actually control, and we test the restores.
It depends on what you already own and what your applications need. If you have recent server hardware with useful life left, or line-of-business software that won’t run well hosted, hybrid is usually the cheaper and safer route. If your kit is ageing and your workloads are standard, full cloud removes a maintenance burden. We assess before recommending either.
