Signs it is time to modernise

The problems business owners and IT managers bring to us most, and what we do about each one.

  1. The server in the cupboard is getting old

    It is out of warranty, backups are uncertain and nobody wants to be the one who restarts it.

    FixMove it to AustinCloud or Azure, with backups and monitoring included.

  2. You pay for Microsoft 365 but mostly use email

    SharePoint, Intune and the security features sit idle while files live on a shared drive.

    FixA tenant review, a clear structure and training, so the licences earn their keep.

  3. Remote work is a workaround

    Clunky VPNs, shared passwords and files emailed to personal accounts.

    FixSecure access from anywhere, with conditional access and managed devices.

  4. Staff want to use AI tools

    Some people may already be using free AI tools with work data, and nobody is sure what is exposed.

    FixA Copilot readiness review and a safe rollout plan.

Related services and reading

Should we move everything to the cloud?

Not always. Some systems suit Microsoft 365 or Azure, some run best on a private cloud close to home and a few still belong on site. We recommend the right home for each one and explain the costs. See cloud computing.

Where is our data stored on AustinCloud?

In three data centres in Perth, operated by NEXTDC and Vocus, so your data stays in Western Australia. See managed cloud servers.

Will moving to the cloud disrupt our staff?

We test migrations first, then move in stages scheduled around your business. Mowbray Architecture moved its files to SharePoint and cut over in a weekend.

Do we need Microsoft 365 Business Premium?

It depends on your security needs. Business Premium adds Intune device management, Conditional Access and Defender, which help with several Essential Eight controls. We review your licences and recommend the right mix.

Is Microsoft Copilot safe to use with our data?

It can be, once permissions are right. Copilot can see whatever a user can see, so we review data access first, then pilot with a small group before a wider rollout. See Microsoft Copilot.

What does a cloud migration cost?

It depends on the systems involved. After a review you get a fixed scope and price for the migration and a monthly cost for running it afterwards.
