Home Solutions Hosted and Cloud Services
Cloud migration and hosted services without the headaches
We move your servers, files and applications to the right cloud, Microsoft Azure, AWS or Google Cloud, and keep them secure, backed up and running. Vendor-neutral advice from an engineer-led Baton Rouge team since 2003.

What’s included
What our cloud services include
Moving to the cloud should make IT simpler. We plan, move and manage it end to end.
What should move?
Cloud readiness review
We review your servers, applications, licensing and internet connections and tell you what should move, what should stay and why.
How do we move without downtime?
Migration planning and execution
Phased moves with testing at each step and a rollback plan, scheduled to avoid disrupting your team.
Where will our programs run?
Hosted servers and applications
Line-of-business applications and file storage hosted in Azure, AWS or Google Cloud and managed by us.
What has to stay on site?
Hybrid setups
A mix of cloud and on-site systems when some applications or equipment need to stay local.
Is the cloud secure?
Cloud security
Identity protection, multi-factor authentication, conditional access and monitoring for every cloud workload.
Is our cloud data backed up?
Cloud backup
Separate backups of cloud servers and files, so an outage or attack doesn’t mean lost data.
Why is the bill so high?
Cost management
Regular reviews of cloud usage and licensing to keep monthly costs in line with what you need.
What happens to the old server?
Hardware retirement
Old servers decommissioned with data securely wiped before reuse, recycling or donation.
How we work
Cloud only where it fits
Not everything belongs in the cloud. Some applications run better and cost less on site, and sometimes the right advice is that the server you own should be your last. We are not tied to a single provider, so we recommend what fits your organization.
- You own your data. You control who has access and where it is stored.
- Compliance-aware. Platforms and settings chosen for HIPAA and other requirements.
- One team. The same people support your cloud, network and users.
Cloud options
Public, private or hybrid cloud?
There is no single right answer. It depends on which applications and equipment must stay local, and on your compliance and performance needs.
Public cloud
- Shared infrastructure from Microsoft, Amazon or Google.
- Lowest cost and fastest to scale.
- Works well for most email, files and modern applications.
- Security depends on how it is configured, and we configure it.
Private or hybrid cloud
- Dedicated resources, or a mix of cloud and on-site systems.
- Fits older applications or equipment that must stay local.
- Can help with specific compliance or performance needs.
- More planning required, and we handle that for you.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do you choose the right cloud migration service provider?
Ask whether they’re tied to one cloud vendor, how they plan rollback, and who supports the systems after the move. We’re vendor-neutral across Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, so we recommend the platform that fits your applications, licensing and budget. Organizations already on Microsoft 365 are often a natural fit for Azure, and we compare the options first.
How do managed service providers reduce cloud migration risks?
We move systems in phases, test at each step and keep a rollback plan ready, with cutovers scheduled outside business hours. Before anything moves we set up multi-factor authentication, conditional access and a separate backup. Cloud servers left on default settings and cloud data with nothing to restore from are where most moves go wrong.
What are cloud migration services?
Cloud migration services move your servers, files and applications from on-site hardware to a cloud platform such as Microsoft Azure, AWS or Google Cloud. For us that covers a readiness review of what should move and what should stay, a phased move with testing and a rollback plan, and ongoing security, backup and cost reviews after the move.
