Modern Cloud Solutions That Drive Business Growth

The cloud refers to servers and services accessed over the internet rather than on your local computer or office servers. Instead of storing files on your computer's hard drive or maintaining your own email servers, you access these services from data centers run by providers like Microsoft, Google, or Amazon. It's like renting a fully-managed, highly-secure data center instead of building your own.

Yes, for most businesses. Major cloud providers invest billions in security—more than any SMB could. They employ world-class security teams, maintain multiple certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2), and provide features like automatic encryption, threat detection, and multi-factor authentication. The key is proper configuration, which is where we come in.

For most SMBs (10-50 users), cloud migration takes 6-8 weeks from planning to completion. This includes assessment, planning, data migration, user training, and optimization. Simpler migrations (email only) can be faster (2-3 weeks), while complex environments may take longer.

No. We use enterprise-grade migration tools with built-in validation that verifies every piece of data transferred. We maintain complete backups throughout the process and have never lost client data in over 500 migrations.

Migration costs vary based on the size and complexity of your environment. Our Cloud Migration Package starts from £4,995 for typical SMBs. This includes assessment, planning, migration, security configuration, training, and 30-day post-migration support. We provide detailed quotes after our free assessment.

Monthly costs depend on the platforms and number of users. Microsoft 365 Business Premium runs approximately £16/user/month, Google Workspace Business Standard around £10/user/month. Our managed services add additional value through proactive management, optimization, and support.

It depends on your needs. Microsoft 365 is better for businesses needing desktop applications, in regulated industries, or using Windows servers. Google Workspace suits startups, collaboration-focused teams, and mobile-first organizations. We're certified in both and recommend based on your requirements, not our preference.

Yes. Both Microsoft and Google offer UK data centers. We configure your environment to ensure data residency requirements are met, which is essential for GDPR compliance and many industry regulations.

All migrations include 30 days of enhanced support. For ongoing management, our Cloud Managed Services package provides continuous platform administration, user management, security monitoring, and help desk support. We also offer advisory-only support if you prefer to manage internally.

Extremely rare, but if needed, we can migrate you back to on-premise or to a different cloud platform. Your data is always portable and accessible. We've never had a client request to move back to on-premise in over 5 years.
