Microsoft Azure

Cloud infrastructure that fits your organisation

Microsoft Azure gives your organisation flexible options for running applications, hosting servers and storing data in the cloud. It can also work alongside your existing on-site systems, allowing you to introduce changes at a pace that suits your school or business.

ITHelpDirect helps you assess your options, plan migrations and configure an Azure environment around your requirements. From moving an individual application to reviewing a wider cloud setup, we consider performance, security and ongoing costs so you can make informed decisions.

Move to the cloud with a clear plan

Moving systems to the cloud starts with understanding what your organisation relies on. We review your existing servers, applications and how they connect, helping identify what is suitable for Azure and what may be better kept on site.

Our team plans the migration in manageable stages, with testing and agreed changeover arrangements built around your school or business. Where you need cloud and on-site systems to work together, we help configure the connections and check that staff can access the services they need.
