What’s included
Everything you need to run in the cloud
From a single file server to a full Azure environment, we design it properly, move it carefully and keep it running.
Server migration to Azure
Business applications and servers moved from your office to Azure, tested side by side and cut over outside working hours.
File shares to SharePoint & OneDrive
Shared drives restructured into the cloud with sensible permissions, so files are available anywhere without a VPN.
Cloud backup
Servers, PCs and Microsoft 365 data backed up off-site, with restores tested rather than assumed.
Virtual desktops
Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365 Cloud PCs, so staff get a secure, managed desktop on any device.
Cost & security reviews
Regular reviews of what you run and what it costs, removing idle resources and keeping the environment secure.
How it works
How a cloud project works with us
Nothing changes until you have approved a written plan and quote. Disruptive work is scheduled outside your working hours.
- 01
Assess
We inventory your servers, applications, data and costs, and identify what belongs in the cloud and what does not.
- 02
Design
Target architecture, security baseline and an estimate of monthly running costs, in a written plan and quote you approve.
- 03
Migrate
We test first, move a pilot, then cut over in scheduled windows outside your working hours.
- 04
Manage
Monitoring, updates, backup checks and regular cost reviews, so the environment stays secure and good value.

Cloud Services FAQ
Questions businesses ask us
Not always. It depends on what you run and how you use it. We compare the costs honestly during the assessment, and some systems are better left where they are.
Many small businesses only need Microsoft 365, with SharePoint and OneDrive for files. Azure makes sense for business applications, servers or virtual desktops. We recommend the simplest option that works.
A Windows desktop that runs in Microsoft’s cloud and is reached from any device. It keeps company data off personal devices and makes new starters quick to set up.
Azure usage is billed separately from our management fee. We set budgets and alerts and review the costs with you regularly.
Yes. We start with a review, fix what needs fixing, and then manage it going forward.
