Cloud Computing
overview
Our cloud computing services support businesses to improve performance, streamline operations, minimise costs and enhance security.
The cloud is an on-demand and virtual infrastructure where all computing resources are delivered over the internet – including servers, storage, databases, networking, and software. It negates the need for large capital investments in physical IT infrastructure which is cumbersome and becomes outdated quickly. Our cloud subscription-based models are highly economical. You only pay for what you use.
We partner with Microsoft to provide industry-leading cloud technology solutions, including the Office 365 productivity suite and the Azure collection of flexible and scalable cloud services. Our team are highly experienced in delivering cloud solutions and we are here to you choose the best option for your business goals. Where appropriate, we use cloud services to help our clients benefit from enhanced security, reliability and flexible costings offered.

Who is it for?
Cloud computing represents an opportunity for organisations of all sizes to lower their operating costs and run their infrastructure more efficiently.
The cloud is particularly ideal for businesses who have people working remotely or travelling. Staff will always have access to their data, regardless of their location. All they need is a device which connects to the internet. It is easy to increase power, storage and bandwidth as users’ needs change.
Meanwhile, the lack of physical hardware saves a significant amount on energy costs and opens up more office space, allowing businesses to expand departments and drive productivity.
