Advantage PASS™ - Pioneering privileged access to Microsoft
Until now, traditional MSP Azure consulting services for assessing cloud readiness, Azure architecture design and deployment have mostly been by proxy, unless budgets permitted direct Microsoft access. A disconnect, with strong strategic and financial headwinds.
We decided to change this.
Introducing the Advantage PASS™ Azure Consulting – our co-delivered Azure deployment and optimisation programme, with pioneering privileged access to Microsoft’s Technical Teams and Advantage Cloud Solutions together.
The perfect wave?
We thought so, but then we went further for an even smoother and effortless ride. You not only have privileged Microsoft access, your Azure deployment and optimisation could now be fully funded, exclusively with Advantage Cloud Solutions for a co-delivered fully optimised Azure migration.
If you’re ready, surf’s up:
They said...
We needed a secure and reliable way to back up our practice management data. Advantage Cloud set up a private Azure tenant that gave us complete peace of mind. It’s efficient, fully under our control, and now central to our data protection strategy.
Advantage Cloud made the whole file server migration painless. They handled the move to the new platform with minimal disruption, and we’ve already noticed faster access times and better reliability thanks to the cloud tiering and Azure integration.
