Choosing a MSP Cloud Services Partner (Information/Benefits)

The New Year often brings a new direction, a new way of doing things and a reboot in a way. 2019 is here, and it’s time to chart a new course for your business technology, and the Cloud is the perfect solution to set your course towards. Are you ready to take your business to new heights in 2019 and soar to success?

Welcome to 2019. Do you have your New Year’s resolutions in place? Are you sticking to them?… Maybe it’s time to shed a few of those nasty pounds that have been hanging on. Maybe it’s time to follow that new career path that you’ve been passionate about. And for some, it’s finally time to chart a course to the Cloud.

The Cloud for some has been a scary thought… “Wait, put all of my company information in the Cloud? What about the security of that information? Who has access to it? Can anyone see it?”

Yes, it can be scary. However, it doesn’t have to be.

When we travel to new places, we often find a local tour guide to help us. When a mountain climber climbs Mount Everest, no matter how experienced they are, they have a Sherpa to help chart the course. Why?… Experience.

Moving to the Cloud also requires the skill of someone who knows the landscape. The Cloud can be a difficult place to navigate if you don’t know where you’re going or how to get there. You need the skills of a trusted partner who can help you chart the course.

Why?… Well, there are many options when it comes to cloud computing:

  • Do you go all in with one of the big companies offering shared cloud services such as Microsoft Office 365?
  • Or do you need to have your own Microsoft Exchange environment but don’t want the hassle of hosting in your office?

This is where your Cloud Partner can help you chart the right course to the Cloud. You need a proven partner to help make your move to the Cloud successful.
