10FAQ
Questions before you hand over your IT.
What if I already have an IT person?
We complement your existing team. Your IT person handles day-to-day internal needs while we manage cloud infrastructure, security, and backup. This works well for businesses with a single IT generalist who needs specialized cloud expertise alongside them.
Do I need to switch my current tools?
No. We work with your existing Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, or Azure setup. Our job is to optimize and secure what you already have, not sell you new tools.
What happens if I want to cancel?
You can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. No penalties, no exit fees. We'll provide a full transition plan and documentation so your next provider (or internal team) can pick up seamlessly.
How fast is onboarding?
Most businesses are fully onboarded within 2–4 weeks. We start with a discovery call, run a cloud health assessment, then implement monitoring, security baselines, and support processes in parallel.
What's included in the free cloud cost assessment?
We review your current cloud spend, identify unused or oversized resources, flag security gaps, and provide a report with specific savings opportunities. There's no obligation to sign up after.
Do you support hybrid or on-premise environments?
Our focus is cloud-first (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, Azure). We can manage hybrid setups where on-premise connects to cloud, but we don't provide on-site hardware support.
