Migration
We move your servers, files, and applications to AWS or Azure, planned so your business keeps running during the move.
CLOUD CONSULTING
Off the back-closet server and into the cloud
A lot of small businesses still run on a physical server in a closet, and usually only one person knows how it's set up. When it fails, everything stops. We move those systems to AWS or Azure, keep them running, and teach your team how they work.
WHY MOVE
What changes when you move
No hardware to replace every few years. Backups that run on their own. Access from anywhere, with the right people let in and everyone else kept out.
And when something does go wrong, there's a record of what happened and a way back.
WHAT WE DO
Move it, run it, or teach you to
Right now we're moving a print shop to AWS and a pharmacy to Azure, and we'll host both once they're moved.
Hosting and management
We keep it running after the move: updates, backups, and monitoring, for a monthly fee.
Training your team
Prefer to run it yourselves? We train your IT staff and point them to the right AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud training.

AWS, AZURE, OR GOOGLE CLOUD
Which cloud?
We work in all three, and we hold AWS and Terraform certifications. We'll recommend whichever fits what you run and what your team already knows.
We quote the move up front: a fixed price for smaller setups, a detailed estimate for larger ones. With no office or sales team to pay for, it usually comes in well below what a larger firm would charge. Hosting and management is a monthly fee that depends on what you run.
When we'll say keep your servers
Not every business needs the cloud. If your servers are reliable and your team knows them well, we can deploy and maintain software right where it is, and train your IT staff to do the same.
Running a medium sized business has proven to be difficult without a knowledgeable software expert and IT management company. The Cronin Group has proven over and over again to provide solutions for us to solve complex problems.
All our custom processes are now up and running consistently with backups in place.
FAQ
Questions we get
Will our business go down during the move?
We plan it so it doesn't. Most of the work happens alongside your current setup, and we switch over once everything is tested.
Can we run it ourselves afterward?
Yes. We'll train your IT staff and point them to the right cloud training, or we can manage it for you.
Is the cloud actually cheaper than our server?
Sometimes, sometimes not. You stop buying and replacing hardware, but you pay monthly instead. We'll show you the numbers for your setup before you decide.
