Most NJ, NY & CT businesses are paying for Microsoft 365 but using a fraction of what's included — and most don't have their cloud data backed up or their accounts properly secured. Book a free cloud solutions assessment and find out what your current cloud setup is missing and what full deployment would change.
No disruption. No lengthy onboarding. A fast, smooth transition to a partner that has your back from day one.
A Gradius cloud specialist assesses your current cloud setup — what Microsoft 365 features are deployed, what security is configured, whether your M365 data is backed up, whether servers that should be in the cloud still aren't — and gives you an honest picture of what full cloud deployment would change for your business. At no cost, no obligation.
A flat-rate cloud solutions program covering your business — Microsoft 365 fully deployed and secured, cloud backup in place, cloud security configured, migration plan for workloads still on physical servers, and scalability management as the business grows. Sized to your organization and continuously managed.
Our engineers deploy, configure, and meet your team — typically live within 1–2 weeks without disrupting daily operations.
Microsoft 365 monitored and administered continuously; cloud data backed up and restorable; cloud security maintained and updated; license management that keeps costs aligned with headcount; and quarterly cloud reviews that assess new Microsoft capabilities and align cloud usage with where the business is heading.
The cloud solutions most NJ, NY & CT businesses need: Microsoft 365 for email, collaboration, and productivity (if not already deployed, this is the first step; if already deployed, ensuring it's fully configured and secured); cloud backup for Microsoft 365 data (Exchange mailboxes, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams — most businesses don't have this in place); multi-factor authentication and email security (most businesses have Microsoft 365 accounts that aren't properly secured); and cloud backup and recovery for business-critical data. Beyond these baseline needs, businesses with physical servers that are aging often benefit from migrating server workloads to cloud, and businesses with regulatory compliance requirements need compliance-specific cloud configuration. A free assessment identifies exactly which cloud solutions apply to your specific business size, industry, and current technology environment.
For most NJ, NY & CT businesses — professional services, healthcare, legal, financial services, retail, construction, and general business — Microsoft 365 is the right cloud platform for email, collaboration, and productivity. It includes Exchange Online for email, Teams for meetings and chat, SharePoint for file storage, OneDrive for personal cloud storage, and a growing range of business applications. The licensing is per-user and scales with the organization. Microsoft's security tooling integrates with the broader Microsoft ecosystem that most businesses already use. Google Workspace is a viable alternative for some organizations, particularly those with a strong preference for Google's tools, but Microsoft 365 is the dominant choice in the NJ, NY & CT business market and the platform Gradius specializes in managing. For infrastructure workloads beyond the productivity suite, Azure is the natural extension of the Microsoft ecosystem.
Timeline depends on what's moving to cloud. Microsoft 365 deployment for a new organization is typically 1–2 weeks. Email migration from Google Workspace, on-premises Exchange, or another provider — including full mailbox history — takes 2–4 weeks for most small and mid-sized organizations. File server migration to SharePoint takes 2–6 weeks depending on data volume and the complexity of folder structure and permissions. Physical server migration to cloud infrastructure is planned and executed workload by workload — individual workloads typically take 1–4 weeks. Gradius sequences migrations to minimize disruption: highest-priority and lowest-risk workloads move first, critical systems are validated before decommissioning on-premises versions, and staff are informed about changes before they happen rather than discovering them. Most businesses are fully in cloud within 1–3 months of starting the migration process.
Many NJ, NY & CT businesses operate in hybrid environments — some workloads in cloud, others remaining on-premises because of application requirements, regulatory constraints, or operational reasons that make full cloud migration impractical or premature. Gradius manages hybrid environments: Microsoft 365 in cloud for productivity and collaboration, Azure infrastructure for workloads that have moved, and on-premises servers for workloads that remain. The hybrid architecture is managed as a unified environment — the cloud and on-premises components are part of the same IT program, covered by the same monitoring, and supported by the same team. Businesses don't have to choose between cloud and on-premises as an all-or-nothing decision — Gradius supports the right mix for each organization.
