Microsoft 365 and Azure

Cloud services and Microsoft 365 for Hull companies

Work securely from anywhere. We set up Microsoft 365 and Azure and look after them, moving you to the cloud fully or in stages, with your data under your control.

What we do

As a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider, we set up and look after Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure for companies like yours.

Moving fully or partly to the cloud (a “hybrid” set-up) means you can add resources when you need them without a big upfront cost, and your people can work securely wherever they are.

We start with how your company works, then work out which parts of the cloud fit and which don’t. You get clear advice on the pros and cons, a plan you can follow in stages, and ongoing support once you’ve moved.

Frequently asked questions

What is cloud computing?

In simple terms, your data and systems still run on physical servers, just not at your office. You reach them over the internet, which is where the “cloud” comes from. You’re renting resources in someone else’s data centre, a bit like leasing a car and always being able to get the latest model.

Which cloud service is best?

There are many, but the big three for servers and infrastructure are Amazon (AWS), Google (GCP) and Microsoft (Azure). They do similar things with a few trade-offs. As a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider, we work primarily with Microsoft: it’s what we’re trained in and what we base our solutions on.

What cloud solutions do you offer?

Microsoft 365 for email, chat, calling and collaboration. Microsoft Azure for cloud servers, business applications, backups and disaster recovery, and Cloud PCs running Windows.

Should we go fully cloud or hybrid?

It depends on your company and your people. As a rule of thumb: new and small businesses with few servers usually go fully cloud, unless there’s a specific reason not to. Established businesses with several servers usually go hybrid, moving in stages when they’re ready.

Do we still need a backup if we’re in the cloud?

Yes. The cloud is still infrastructure, and things can still go wrong. You still need a disaster recovery and business continuity plan, and a backup stored outside your cloud provider’s own services. The providers recommend it themselves. See backup and disaster recovery.
