VMs left running, oversized instances and forgotten storage inflate the bill. Our fix: Right-sizing, schedules, budgets and alerts.

We help you decide which workloads belong in Azure, AWS or Microsoft 365 and which stay on your own servers, then connect them securely with shared identity, backup and monitoring.
Cloud questions we hear
Moved to the cloud, surprised by the bill.
Unpredictable monthly costs
VMs left running, oversized instances and forgotten storage inflate the bill.
Lift-and-shift without a plan
Everything was moved as-is, so it is slower and dearer than on-premises.
Two worlds, two identities
Staff juggle separate logins for cloud and office systems.
Assuming the provider backs up
Data in cloud services was never covered by your own backup.
What we deliver
A hybrid setup that behaves like one.
Each system assessed for cloud, on-premises or hybrid fit.
Subscriptions, networking, security and naming set up properly.
Site-to-cloud VPN or dedicated links with routing and failover.
Entra ID, single sign-on, MFA and Microsoft 365 integration.
Cloud backup, replication or disaster-recovery sites configured.
Tagging, budgets, schedules and monthly cost reviews.
Models
Four ways to use the cloud.
Microsoft 365 first
Email, Teams and documents in the cloud; servers stay local.
Hybrid
Some workloads in Azure or AWS, others on-premises, one identity.
Cloud DR
Your servers replicated to the cloud for disaster recovery.
Cloud-first
New applications built in the cloud from the start.

FAQ
Questions about Cloud & Hybrid Cloud.
Have a different question? A specialist will reply on WhatsApp.
Not always. Steady workloads can cost more in the cloud over several years. We compare both honestly, per workload, before recommending anything.
Cloud providers secure their platforms, but configuration, access and backup remain your responsibility. We set these up properly and review them regularly.
Yes. Hybrid designs are common: for example, a local file or application server plus Microsoft 365 and a cloud recovery site.
Often it can, using SharePoint and OneDrive, but not for every application. We check which shares and programs can move and which should stay.
We design for it: a backup internet line, local copies where needed and clear priorities on which systems must keep working offline.
We set budgets, alerts, tagging and shutdown schedules, and send a monthly cost review with savings opportunities.
Yes. Hybrid identity with Entra ID gives single sign-on to Microsoft 365, cloud apps and on-premises systems, protected with MFA.
Yes. Replicating key servers to Azure or AWS is a practical way to get an offsite recovery site without a second building.
