Cloud solutions
Cloud that works the way your business does.
We plan, migrate and manage cloud environments that are secure, reliable and sized to what you actually use. Whether you are moving your first workloads, running Microsoft 365 or bringing AWS costs under control, SmartCS handles the details so your team can get on with the work.

Our cloud services
From the first assessment to day-to-day management, we cover the full cloud journey, or step in exactly where you need help.
Cloud readiness assessment
We review your servers, applications, licensing and how your people work, then show you what should move to the cloud, what should stay and what it will cost.
Cloud migration
Planned, phased moves of servers, files, email and applications, scheduled around your business hours, with testing and a rollback plan at every step.
Microsoft 365 & productivity
Setup, migration and administration of email, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, with security settings configured properly from day one.
AWS & hybrid infrastructure
Design and management of AWS and hybrid environments that connect your cloud workloads securely to your offices and data centre.
Cloud cost optimization
Right-sizing, reserved capacity and clean-up of unused resources, so your monthly bill reflects what you actually use.
Cloud backup & recovery
Automated, tested backups for cloud and on-premises data with Veeam and Datto, so a lost file or an outage never turns into a crisis.
Built on proven platforms
The right platform, not one-size-fits-all
We work with leading platforms including AWS, Microsoft, Citrix, Dell EMC, Veeam and Datto. We recommend the setup that fits your applications, budget and compliance needs.
Already in the cloud? We will review what you have and help you get more out of it.
What we look at before recommending a setup
Our approach
A clear, four-stage path from where you are today to a cloud environment that just works.
Assess
Inventory your systems, data and costs. Identify what to move first and any quick wins.
Plan
Design the target environment, security controls and a migration schedule that avoids disruption.
Migrate
Move workloads in phases, test each one and keep a rollback ready.
Manage
Monitor, patch, back up and optimize, with regular reports on performance and cost.
Why move to the cloud with SmartCS
Work from anywhere
Secure access to files and applications from the office, at home or on the road.
Predictable costs
Pay for what you use, with fewer surprise hardware purchases.
Built-in resilience
Replicated, backed-up data means outages and hardware failures do not stop the business.
Security from day one
Identity, access and encryption configured properly, not bolted on later.
Scale when you need to
Add users, storage or new offices in days instead of months.
One team to call
We manage the environment end to end, so you are never stuck between vendors.
Frequently asked questions
Is the cloud right for every business?
Not for every workload. Some applications run better on-premises or in a hybrid setup. Our assessment shows you which systems benefit from moving and which are better left where they are.
Will a migration disrupt our work?
We plan migrations in phases and schedule cutovers outside business hours wherever possible. Each step is tested before the next one starts, with a rollback plan ready.
Is our data safe in the cloud?
Cloud platforms offer strong security, but it has to be configured correctly. We set up identity, access controls, encryption and backups as part of every project, and our cybersecurity team can monitor your environment on an ongoing basis.
Can you help us reduce our cloud bill?
Yes. We review your usage, remove unused resources, right-size servers and recommend the right pricing options, so you only pay for what you need.
Do you manage the environment after migration?
Yes. Our managed cloud service covers monitoring, patching, backups, user changes and regular reporting.
