Cloud Services
Cloud Solutions
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, backup, migration, secure configuration, and cloud adoption planning.
What this is for
The problem behind the requirement.
Cloud adoption fails more often through planning than through technology. Workloads get moved without understanding their dependencies, licensing is bought before the requirement is clear, and the organisation ends up paying more for something harder to support than what it replaced.
We plan cloud work around how the business actually operates. That means understanding the current estate and its constraints first, sequencing the migration so each step leaves things working, and configuring the destination deliberately rather than accepting defaults that were never designed for your risk profile.
This is the right conversation when
- Ageing on-premise hardware is approaching a decision point
- Cloud spend has grown without anyone owning it
- A migration has stalled, or an earlier one left loose ends
- You need hybrid working to be properly supportable rather than tolerated
What the work can include
- Tenant configuration
- Migration planning
- Identity and access controls
- Cloud backup
- Admin training
Where it is most useful
Businesses modernising collaboration, replacing legacy servers, or improving security across Microsoft and Google environments.
Questions it can address
- Messy tenants
- Poor sharing controls
- Mailbox migration risk
- Licensing waste
- Unclear backup coverage
Capabilities
Practical detail, shaped around the scope.
- Migration runbooks
- Secure collaboration settings
- License reviews
- Cloud backup strategy
- Admin documentation
Delivery approach
A clear route from discovery to next steps.
- 1Map current state
- 2Design target controls
- 3Pilot migration
- 4Move workloads
- 5Optimise and document
Security and governance
Consider risk early, then agree the right controls.
Data residency, retention, access control, and audit logging are considered before production changes.
Any formal certification, legal advice or independent testing is agreed separately where required.
Service context
What happens next
Tell us what needs attention. We will use the initial context to identify whether this service, a focused assessment or a scoped project is the right next step.
Can you migrate from Google to Microsoft 365?
Yes. The migration plan covers mail, files, identities, devices, and user communications.
Do we still need backup in cloud platforms?
Usually yes. Cloud availability is not the same as recoverable business backup.
