Crestwood Cloud Services
Description
Not all clouds are created equal. Crestwood’s cloud is secure, easy, reliable, and harnesses the power of Azure.
If you have questions about moving your solutions online, we have answers. Many of our clients choose to start small, and move one or two systems to the cloud. This approach builds confidence with both leadership and everyday end-users. For example, switching to Office 365 and/or Exchange Online are quick and painless for most companies.
The services to move Microsoft Office to Office 365 include:
- User migration (create users)
- File shares
- SharePoint Online – Active Directory
- Exchange environment – upload mail
- Update Microsoft Outlook clients
If you’re ready to move your ERP solution to Azure, we have 3 different “profiles” to choose from:
- Customer Profile 1 = 1-10 users, <100 GB Data
- Customer Profile 2 = 11-20 users, <200 GB Data
- Customer Profile 3 = 21-40 users, <400 GB Data
Network management services provided by Crestwood are included in all profiles. Crestwood maintains and monitors the virtual machines, catching any issues before they become a problem.
