CLOUD SOLUTIONS
Build a more flexible, connected and scalable workplace.
Secure cloud services that help your team collaborate, access business information and scale technology without depending on ageing on-premise infrastructure alone.
CLOUD SOLUTIONS SERVICE OVERVIEW
Move the right workloads to the cloud — for the right reasons.
Cloud technology can give a business greater flexibility, easier collaboration and a more predictable way to consume technology services. Kin-Tech helps businesses evaluate what should move to the cloud, what should remain on-premise and how the two environments should work together.
The goal is not simply to 'move everything online'. It is to create a secure, manageable environment that supports the way your staff work. This can include Microsoft cloud services, hosted applications, cloud storage, backup and hybrid infrastructure.
CHALLENGES WE SOLVE
Where cloud projects often go wrong
Cloud adoption works best when it starts with business requirements rather than simply moving technology for the sake of it.
Ageing infrastructure
Older servers and storage can become expensive to maintain and difficult to scale.
Limited remote access
Staff struggle to access files, applications or collaboration tools securely outside the office.
Disconnected services
Email, storage, backup and applications are spread across separate systems with little coordination.
Unclear cloud costs
Without planning, subscriptions and cloud resources can grow without a clear business purpose.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about Cloud Solutions
Straightforward answers to questions businesses often ask before getting started.
Does moving to the cloud mean we no longer need any local infrastructure?+
Not always. Many businesses benefit from a hybrid model that combines cloud services with selected on-premise systems. Kin-Tech can help determine what makes sense for your environment.
Can Kin-Tech help migrate our existing files and email?+
Yes. Migration planning can cover business email, files, user access and suitable applications, with testing and staged implementation.
Is cloud automatically more secure?+
Cloud platforms provide strong capabilities, but they still need correct configuration, user access controls, security policies and backup. Security should be designed into the cloud project.
Can cloud services be scaled as we add staff?+
Yes. One of the benefits of cloud services is the ability to adjust users, licences and resources as requirements change.
Can Kin-Tech support a hybrid environment?+
Yes. Kin-Tech can support environments that combine cloud platforms, Microsoft 365, local servers, networks, endpoints and backup.
