Sound familiar?

  • Files and systems stuck on one office computer or server
  • Not sure your data is backed up
  • Cloud bills that keep growing
  • Jargon like SaaS, PaaS and IaaS getting in the way

Why cloud services matters

Many small businesses still depend on a single office computer, a server in a cupboard or files scattered across personal accounts. That works until a device fails, someone leaves or you need to work from somewhere else. Moving to the right cloud services makes your systems available anywhere, backed up automatically and easier to secure.

What's included

  • Cloud setup and migration

    Move files, systems and applications to the cloud safely.

  • Secure hosting

    Websites, apps and databases hosted securely and monitored.

  • Backups

    Automatic backups so your data can be restored if something goes wrong.

  • Cost control

    Right-sized services so you pay only for what you use.

  • SaaS, PaaS and IaaS

    The right mix of ready-made software, managed platforms and infrastructure.

  • Ongoing management

    Updates, monitoring and support handled for you.

How it works

  1. AssessWe review what you run today and what you need.
  2. PlanWe recommend the right cloud setup and explain it simply.
  3. MigrateWe move everything carefully, with minimal disruption.
  4. RunWe monitor, back up and optimise your cloud services.

Example: how it works in practice

Imagine a GTA accounting practice storing client files on one office server. A move to secure cloud storage with proper access controls lets staff work from home or the office, backups run automatically every night and the old server can be retired — with the move done in stages so work never stops.

This is an illustrative example of a typical project, not a specific client.

A good fit if…

  • You rely on a single office computer or server
  • You want secure access to your systems from anywhere
  • You're unsure whether your data is backed up
  • Your cloud costs need a review

What it costs

Every business is different, so we don't sell one-size-fits-all packages. After a short conversation about your needs, we give you a clear written quote before any work starts.

The main things that affect the cost of cloud services:

  • How much data and how many systems need to move
  • Your security, backup and compliance requirements
  • The level of ongoing management and monitoring

Questions about cloud services

What's the difference between SaaS, PaaS and IaaS?

SaaS is ready-to-use software delivered online. PaaS is a managed platform to build and run applications on. IaaS is the underlying cloud infrastructure: servers, storage and networking. We help you choose the right mix.

Is the cloud secure?

Major cloud platforms offer strong security when they're set up correctly. We configure access controls, encryption and backups properly and keep them maintained.

Will moving to the cloud disrupt my business?

We plan migrations carefully and move things in stages, so day-to-day work continues.

Can you reduce my cloud bill?

Often, yes. We review what you're paying for and right-size services to match what you actually use.

Which cloud providers do you work with?

We recommend what fits your needs, including major providers such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services, as well as managed platforms for websites and apps.

Can you move us off an old office server?

Yes. We plan the move, transfer your files and systems in stages so work continues, set up backups and access controls, and help you retire the old server safely.

How much do cloud services cost?

There are usually two parts: the cloud provider's own fees, which depend on what you use, and our setup and management. We explain both clearly and give you a written quote before any work starts.
