Your Azure Bill Keeps Growing. Your M365 Security Is Probably Off.
We find the waste, fix the security gaps, and manage your cloud so you do not have to.
Most Cheshire businesses we look at are overpaying for Azure and have Microsoft 365 security features that nobody ever switched on. That means money wasted and data exposed. We fix both, and manage it going forward so it stays fixed.
Thinking about moving? Start with what it would actually involve.
Send over a rough list of what you are running now. Servers, where the email lives, the line-of-business software, roughly how many people. I will come back with what the move looks like, what it would take, and how long it needs. No charge for that conversation and no obligation after it.
Independent, Bromborough-based, Microsoft Partner. You deal with Eric, and the person who scopes the move is the person who runs it, so nothing gets lost between a salesperson and a delivery team.
Not sure what you are paying for? Book a cloud review and we will show you exactly where the waste is and what security features are sitting unused. No obligation.
Microsoft 365: Configured, Secured, and Managed
You are paying for security features in your M365 licence that nobody ever turned on. We fix that, and keep it running properly going forward.
Security Actually Switched On
MFA enforced, Conditional Access configured, email threats blocked. The security features in your licence, properly set up instead of gathering dust.
Licences That Make Sense
Most businesses are over-licensed in some areas and missing critical features in others. We right-size your licences so you pay for what you actually need.
Email That Stays Protected
Phishing blocked, spam filtered, archiving configured. Retention policies set so you do not lose emails you might need for compliance.
Files and Sharing Under Control
SharePoint structured properly, permissions that make sense, external sharing locked down. No more "everyone has access to everything."
Starters and Leavers Handled
New staff set up properly from day one. Leavers locked out immediately, data preserved. No ghost accounts sitting around for months.
Someone Actually Watching
Security alerts monitored, sign-in anomalies flagged, usage reports reviewed. Not "set and forget." Actively managed, month after month.
Azure: Architected, Not Just Spun Up
Your Azure environment should save you money and keep your data safe. If it is doing neither, something has gone wrong. We fix it.
Work From Anywhere
Cloud-hosted desktops so your team can access their applications from any device, anywhere. Your data stays in the cloud, not on vulnerable laptops.
Cloud Migration Done Properly
Move from on-premises servers to Azure without the disruption. We plan it, migrate it, and make sure everything works before cutting over.
Backups That Actually Restore
Azure Backup for your servers and data, with recovery copies that ransomware cannot reach. Tested regularly so you know it works before you need it.
Security Built In From Day One
Network controls, identity protection, and threat monitoring. We design your Azure environment secure from the start, not bolt it on later.
Cloud Bills That Make Sense
We find the waste most Azure environments have. Test VMs still running, premium storage on archive data, licences for people who left months ago.
Ongoing Management
Monitoring, patching, cost reviews, and support. Your Azure environment managed by someone who actually understands it, not left to drift.

Cloud Services FAQs
We already have Azure. Can you take over?
Yes. We start with a health check to understand what is deployed, how it is configured, and what needs fixing. Then we either do a one-off clean-up or take on ongoing management.
How long does a cloud migration take?
A straightforward M365 migration for a small business can be done in days. Larger migrations involving Azure infrastructure typically take 4-12 weeks. We plan carefully to minimise disruption.
Will our data be stored in the UK?
Yes. We configure Azure to use UK data centres. For M365, your data is stored in Microsoft's UK facilities. Important for data protection compliance and client confidence.
What about our existing IT person?
We work alongside internal IT. Some clients want us to handle cloud entirely. Others want us for architecture and escalation only. We fit around what works for you.
Can you help reduce our cloud costs?
Cloud cost optimisation is core to what we do. We right-size resources, find reserved instance savings, and eliminate waste. Businesses typically find 20-30% in savings potential after a cloud review.
Do we have to buy M365 licences through you?
No. Keep your existing licence arrangement if you prefer. We manage M365 regardless of where you buy licences. That said, we often save clients money by right-sizing their licence mix.

20 minutes. We will look at your current setup, tell you honestly where the waste and security gaps are, and give you useful advice whether you become a client or not. If you do come on board, you will be protected in days, not months.
