Only Trust Experts With Your Pittsburgh Azure Services

The potential for the cloud to propel business growth, save money or make your organization more flexible with an Azure cloud depends on the level of expertise behind the move. Nortec’s cloud experts have completed over a hundred migrations in the Pittsburgh area, using a proven framework to accelerate and optimize cloud adoption within organizations. Here’s how we do it:

1. Define and plan your migration

You explain your business needs and goals and we roadmap solutions. Before migrating your organization, we create a robust plan from start to finish and test the plan without disrupting your working environment to ensure everything is properly connected and working.

2. Migrate you to the cloud

We prepare the cloud environment and migrate you to the cloud after business hours or over a weekend to minimize disruptions and operational downtime. We check the systems and turn on advanced security tools, like Advanced Threat Protection, so your business is protected from day one.

3. Support with Azure services and staff training 

After the migration, we manage and govern your resources, users, security and process to continually optimize the cloud through our Azure offering. Our aim is to ensure that the Azure cloud continually supports your business needs without you overspending in the cloud. We’ll also train your team on new applications and systems and identify your next steps in the cloud.
