CLOUD & MODERN IT

Cloud & modern IT —
we move faster.

We design, build and manage sophisticated cloud solutions — specialising in the digital transformation that migrates you from that ageing server in the office to leading-edge public and private cloud.

Two similar businesses, five years apart. The one that embraced modern cloud IT works from anywhere, automates the busywork and keeps pulling ahead — while the other stays shackled to a server in the cupboard.

WHY MOVE TO THE CLOUD

Enable your teams. Improve performance. Reduce cost.

Done well, cloud isn't just cheaper infrastructure — it's a step-change in how your business performs.

Cloud ComputingScalable, fast and flexible, with less downtime — enable your teams and reduce cost.
Secure WorkingVirtual desktops control your corporate workspace, reducing risk if a device is hacked or breaks.
Hosted AppsRun critical business apps in the cloud — eliminate the single point of failure: that old office server.
Mobile WorkforceWork from anywhere. No clunky VPNs, no "can you email me that file" — just seamless access.
Distributed AvailabilityRedundant data centres — if one goes down another kicks in. No business grinding to a halt.
Customer ExperienceSlick technology, so a legacy IT system never lets down a great product or service.
HYBRID BY DESIGN

Not everything belongs in the cloud.

Cloud is brilliant for sharing and working anywhere — but some data is genuinely better kept on-site. The smartest setups are hybrid: the right data in the cloud, the right data on-premises, and one simple rule to decide which.

The rule of thumb: computing works best right next to the data it's crunching. Small files you share and co-edit — documents, spreadsheets, email — thrive in the cloud. Big files a program has to open and re-save constantly — video, CAD, large datasets — belong close to the computers using them, or everything slows to a crawl.

Best kept on-premises (or hosted close by)

Large "working" files that software opens, edits and re-saves all day need to sit near the machines using them. Over the internet they're painfully slow; on a local NAS or server they fly.

  • CAD, BIM and engineering models
  • Video, photography and marketing assets
  • Large design, render and project files
  • Big databases and line-of-business data
  • Anything measured in gigabytes you edit daily

Kept on a NAS or server — on your premises or hosted in a nearby data centre — and still fully backed up and secured.

Best in the cloud

Files you share, co-author and need from anywhere are made for the cloud — with version history, real-time collaboration and access on any device.

  • Everyday documents and spreadsheets
  • Email, calendars and contacts
  • Shared team files and folders
  • Anything you send to clients or work on together
  • Files you need on any device, anywhere

Stored in SharePoint / OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or Box.com — synced, versioned and available everywhere.

Most businesses need a bit of both. We design the right split — fast where it needs to be fast, shared where it needs to be shared — with security and backup across the lot, so you're never forced into a one-size-fits-all cloud that doesn't suit how you actually work.

SECURE ACCESS & DEVICES

Built for a work-from-anywhere world.

When your team works from home, on the road and across offices, how they connect and how their devices are managed become the front line of your security. Two modern shifts make the biggest difference.

THE OLD WAY · VPN

A tunnel back to the office

A traditional VPN pipes remote staff back into the office network. It works — but it usually sends all traffic the long way round, feels slow, and once someone is "inside" they can often reach far more than they should.

  • Traffic routed the long way round — slower apps
  • Broad network access once connected
  • Clunky enough that people switch it off
  • Designed for an office-centric world
THE MODERN WAY · SASE

Zero-trust access from the cloud

SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) delivers security from the cloud and follows a zero-trust rule — never assume, always verify. It checks every user, device and request, then grants only the access that's genuinely needed.

  • Fast, direct access to cloud apps
  • Verifies every user and device, every time
  • Least-privilege — no free run of the network
  • Built for hybrid and remote work

Every device managed, wherever it is

With mobile device management platforms like Microsoft Intune and Hexnode, we orchestrate every laptop and phone from one place — so a new starter's device arrives set up correctly, and a lost one is never a crisis.

Set up once, rolled out everywhere — standard settings, security policies and apps pushed to every device automatically.
Enforced protection — encryption, passcodes and updates required as standard, not left to chance.
Locate & remotely wipe — find a missing device and erase the company data, so a lost phone never becomes a breach.
Work and personal, kept separate — company data stays contained and can be removed without touching personal photos or apps.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

From office server to
leading-edge cloud.

Forget logging onto a server behind a clunky VPN, calling a colleague to send you a file, or keeping paper "just in case." We reduce IT friction so your team can simply get on with great work.

  • Seamless migrations — planned and executed with minimal disruption.
  • Highly available by design — redundant, replicated workloads that keep you running.
  • Secure & managed — security and backup built into every cloud solution.

CASE STUDY · 17-SITE VETERINARY GROUP

From a straining office server to cloud that scales with every new clinic.

A fast-growing veterinary group ran all 17 clinics from a single server at head office. As they acquired more sites, growth outpaced the server — and outages became routine. Their key clinical app was delivered to every clinic across head office's unreliable internet, so whenever that struggled, clinics were left without the data and programs they needed to see patients. And replacing the ageing server meant a large, one-off capital outlay.

We designed an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud solution that simply grows with them — adding capacity as each new clinic comes on board, with no more guessing at how big a server to buy. The payoff: dramatically better uptime, built-in disaster recovery and resilience, far faster performance of the critical app, and spend smoothed from a big capital hit into a predictable monthly operating cost.

THE OUTCOME
Scales with every acquisition — new clinics added without a forklift upgrade.
Far less downtime — proper disaster recovery and high availability built in.
The critical app just flies — no more clinics stuck without their data.
Capex → opex — no big server bill; smooth, predictable monthly spend.
Google Workspace & Dropbox → Microsoft 365We moved a business's email and files off Google Workspace and Dropbox into Microsoft 365 — mailboxes, shared files and permissions — with no lost data and no disruptive downtime.
Microsoft 365 → Google WorkspaceAnd we go the other way too — migrating email and storage from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace when that's the better fit. We're fluent in both, so we recommend what suits you, not us.
