Cloud and Productivity Services for Small Businesses
We help organisations plan, configure and support cloud services such as Microsoft 365 in a way that is practical, secure, and appropriate for real-world use.
While cloud services can improve flexibility and collaboration, they also introduce complexity and risk if not designed carefully. Our approach focuses on assessment first, clear explanation, and ongoing oversight rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
What we provide
Our cloud services are built on established third-party platforms and are delivered following assessment.
Our cloud services typically include:
Microsoft 365 configuration and support
Cloud email and collaboration tools
Cloud backup and data protection
Azure and cloud infrastructure support where appropriate
Hybrid cloud environments combining on-premises and cloud systems
Business continuity and disaster recovery planning
Backup and continuity services are designed as part of a wider resilience approach and are not implemented without assessment or context.
How we approach cloud services
Cloud services are built on third-party platforms such as Microsoft and Google. While these platforms are powerful, they are not automatically suitable for every organisation without careful configuration and oversight.
We begin by understanding how your organisation works, what data you rely on, and what risks need to be managed. Based on this assessment, we recommend appropriate configurations and services, explain trade-offs clearly, and avoid unnecessary complexity where it does not add operational value.
Where ongoing management or specialist input is required, this is explained upfront before any work proceeds.
Security and risk management in the cloud
Cloud services change how data is accessed and shared, which introduces different security considerations. No cloud platform is secure by default.
We help organisations reduce risk through appropriate configuration, access controls, backup strategies, and ongoing review. Security measures are designed to lower risk and limit impact, not to promise absolute protection.
More detailed guidance on backup, ransomware protection, and business continuity is provided as part of our wider Security and Resilience services.
