Will Cloud benefit your business?
The “Cloud” is the new way of doing business technology. At the most basic level the “cloud” is just a standard IT product like an Office software suite or an email system that you are renting from an outside provider rather than purchasing yourself.
While this is essentially what “cloud” entails, it does not explain the key benefits that cloud offers. The popularity of the cloud comes from the key benefits:
- Flexibility
- Scale your technology along with your business. For example, if your company is growing fast, you can add new users or services very easily without restrictions or concerns that you need to purchase more servers and server software. Cloud allows you to get exactly what you need any time with the comfort of knowing you can change as your business changes.
- Accessibility
- With most “cloud” services, i.e. email, file sync, file sharing etc., you can access your services anywhere at any time you have an internet connection. This provides you with on-the-go capabilities so you can work anywhere you want or need.
- Regular Maintenance is done for you
- No need to worry about having to stay on top of regular maintenance such as software patching, upgrades, or support of the hardware as it is all done by your cloud provider (host you are “renting” from).
Cloud Hosted Microsoft Exchange Email

Microsoft has refined Exchange over the years to give businesses all of the features they need including:
- Full synchronization with mobile devices and tablets
- Sharing of information, such as giving assistants access to parts or all of a specified mailbox
- Email retention and auditing
- Email archiving
- Full features of Outlook on Windows computers and MAC computers
Cloud File Sync for Business

Cloud Migration Services
You have decided to move to Office 365 or other cloud services but now you are facing the hurdle of migrating your data to the cloud. If your business is very small, only 1 or 2 employees, or you have very small amounts of data the task of migration can be fairly straight forward; simply upload the data over the Internet. However if you have lots of data or more than 5 mailboxes, migration can take significant time, resources, and expertise. For email or cloud migration, we use methods that allow us to upload your data to the cloud without interfering with your current access to that data. The data upload operation can take many days, all done in the background while you still have full access to the data. This will allow you and your employees to continue to work uninterrupted, saving you the expensive cost of downtime.
