Cloud Benefits

Regardless of industry, there are many reasons why businesses are moving to the cloud can benefit your workflows, processes and your overall success.

Here are just a few ways the cloud can benefit your business:

Around the clock security

. As we move more of our data onto the cloud, security has become more important than ever before. As technology professionals and a Microsoft Partner, the criticality and safety of your data is one of our primary concerns. Microsoft Azure cloud services works to identify new threats using real-time global cybersecurity intelligence delivered at cloud scale. The platform also offers built-in controls and services to manage identity, data, networking, and app access.

Increased flexibility

Having the option to manage your personal computing power so you can easily scale up to accommodate usage for contractors, seasonal employees, or to scale down during slower periods is key to cost management. We all know that data use ebbs and flows. Cloud services provide the option to upgrade or remove services easily, so you only pay for what you use.

Cost-effectiveness

When considering a business solution, cost is often one of the most important factors. The Microsoft Azure platform offers an end-to-end cost management and optimization solution to help customers refine availability, performance, and security while providing tailored cost recommendations along the way. Azure also provides cost options for infrequently accessed data and archival solutions.

Improved accessibility

In our ever-growing remote world, accessing your desktop and applications from anywhere, on any device, is crucial to team workflows, organizational growth and overall business success. Azure provides end users with Windows 10 familiarity within one scalable, easy-to-access solution and works to bridge a range of communication gaps with countless app integrations.

Realize the full potential of the cloud with Managed Solution’s Cloud Services

Many companies are already leveraging the features and benefits the cloud brings, and it’s not too late for you! From email to hosted infrastructure, the cloud is serving many businesses just like yours in a variety of ways. We’re here to support your cloud goals in three areas: migrations, architecture, and optimization and support.

Cloud Migrations

We understand the migration process can seem overwhelming. But as a Microsoft Gold Productivity Partner, we have deep expertise in helping organizations make a seamless transition to the cloud creating solutions that are secure, efficient and cost-effective. Wherever your environment may currently sit, part of our cloud migration process includes assessing your current environment with both your goals and desired end state in mind.

Whether you’re brand new to the cloud, considering a move to the cloud or love the cloud but want to leverage complementary tools, our Microsoft-certified experts are here to consult and collaborate with your team!

We are highly experienced in a range of migration projects, including hybrid scenarios which may transition certain operations onto the cloud while leaving others on-premise. Whatever your goals may be, Managed Solution is here to help make them a reality.

Our cloud migration process

There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to a migration. Our goal as migration experts is to help ease the transition and work alongside your team to ensure transparency, alignment and clear communication throughout the process.

Here is a general overview of how the migration process works:

Phase 1: Scoping & Assessment

In this stage the Managed Solution team of migration experts analyze your current infrastructure as well as the data housed within it to determine a course of action. During this period, the team pinpoints any areas which could cause delays or interruption. This is what we like to consider the “roadmap phase.” It’s a collaborative approach which helps us get a clear understanding around project requirements and helps capture specific details about the project.

Phase 2: Planning

Using the information we gather from the assessment, we develop a migration plan and review it with you to answer any questions. Based on your input, we begin to tailor your solutions using the suite of Office 365 service options to customize your environment. We‘ll work closely with you to help prepare your environment and workloads. This is a complex process, so it’s beneficial to work together to best handle the logistics and to ensure deployment happens as quickly and seamlessly as possible.

Phase 3: Deployment

The physical migration is what we’d like to consider “moving day.” Sometimes we refer to this as a “cutover.” During this official window of time the bulk of the company data, such as email and other documents are transferred while our team works to finalize and reconfigure the remaining parts of the solution, which often includes devices.

Phase 4: Support

Finally, after the migration process is complete, our team can continue to provide assistance by answering questions or providing hands-on services. Our experts will work with your team to lead administrator and end-user training and support to continue to optimize your end user experience. Additionally, we can also help boost performance by guiding you through a menu of automation services to optimize your cloud experience.

Here’s what our customers are saying

“I’ve been so impressed with the sheer agility of Azure and the ease of support with Managed Solution. The whole team was very flexible with our needs and worked with us to have a resources available the weekend of our cutover. They’ve been willing to do whatever it takes to be successful.”

Cloud Architecture
