The honest answer
Is the cloud right for your business?
Many businesses end up with a mix: everyday files and email in the cloud, and a few things that still make sense on-site.
Where it helps
Good reasons to move
- Work from anywhere without a clunky VPN
- No server to replace every few years
- Files protected off-site, away from office fires and floods
- Easy to add people as you grow
Where it may not
Reasons to wait or keep things on-site
- Older software that only runs on a local server
- Very large files and a slow internet connection
- Monthly costs that add up over time
- Machines on a shop floor that need local control
What we move
What we move to the cloud
File servers to SharePoint and OneDrive
Your shared drives moved to Microsoft 365, organized and with the right permissions.
Apps and servers to Microsoft Azure
Business applications that need a server run in Microsoft’s data centers instead of your closet.
Azure Virtual Desktop
A full Windows desktop your team can reach from any device, handy for remote staff and older apps.
How it works
How a cloud migration works
Step 1
Assess
We look at your servers, apps, files and internet connection, and what each costs you today.
Step 2
Plan
You get a plain-English plan: what moves, what stays, what it costs and when.
Step 3
Move
We move things in stages and test before switching over, to keep disruption small.
Step 4
Support
We monitor, secure and back up your cloud systems like everything else we manage.
Costs
What it costs
The cloud trades a big up-front server purchase for a monthly subscription. For many small businesses that’s a better deal, especially when an old server is due for replacement. For others it isn’t, and we’ll tell you.
Your costs depend on what moves: Microsoft 365 licenses, cloud storage and any servers or virtual desktops. We’ll give you a clear estimate after a free assessment, side by side with what you spend today.
In the cloud doesn’t mean backed up
Cloud services keep running, but deleted or encrypted files can still be lost. We back up your cloud data too.
FAQ
Cloud questions
Is the cloud secure?
Microsoft’s data centers are far better protected than a server in a closet. Most cloud break-ins come from stolen passwords and poor settings, which is what we lock down, and what OmniSecure365 watches for around the clock.
What happens if our internet goes down?
Cloud systems need internet, so a reliable connection matters. We can set up a backup internet connection that takes over automatically, and OneDrive can keep synced files available offline.
Can we keep some things on-site?
Yes. Many businesses keep a few things local, like shop-floor machines or older software, and move the rest. We’ll recommend the mix that fits.
Will our old software work in the cloud?
Often, yes, either on a cloud server or through Azure Virtual Desktop. We’ll test it before anything moves.
