FAQ FAQ

Cloud services FAQs

What are cloud services?

Business systems run on Microsoft 365, Azure or AWS instead of office hardware, usually for a monthly fee.

What does Microsoft 365 migration cost?

Costs depend on mailbox numbers, data and your current system. We provide a fixed-price quote after a short review.

Is my data stored in Australia?

Microsoft 365, Azure and AWS offer Australian regions. We use them where available and document data locations, including overseas services.

Does Microsoft 365 back up my data?

Microsoft runs the service and retains deleted items for a limited time. We recommend independent backups for long-term protection.

Should we move our server to the cloud?

Often, especially with ageing servers or remote teams. Some specialist software works better on-site or in a hybrid setup. Our review helps you decide.

How long does a cloud migration take?

Email migrations can take days, with a weekend cut-over. Server and app migrations may take weeks, depending on testing.

Can you reduce our cloud bill?

Often. A review can identify unused licences, oversized servers and storage that can be reduced.
