Businesses are Betting on the Cloud
Businesses in the Pittsburgh area are increasingly adopting cloud services and transforming how they operate. Organizations can migrate from on-premise servers, networking, software and storage to hosted solutions in Azure. Like migrating to Office 365, the shift to Azure makes your business more agile and offers new opportunities for your business to rapidly scale.

Nortec Simplifies IT for Your Pittsburgh Business
The digital transformation arrived with a bang. Pittsburgh companies that are taking advantage of Microsoft solutions struggle to make technology secure, flexible and scalable to meet their dynamic needs. Instead of enjoying flexible OpEx cloud subscription models for all of their technology, they’re constantly updating outdated applications and hardware in a never-ending CapEx cycle. We believe it’s time for a change.
Engage a Microsoft Gold Partner to Maximize Your Azure
Azure will change how you operate, but the platform is complex. Applications and features are constantly updated. Migrating and managing the platform is not a do-it-yourself activity. Working with a Microsoft Gold Platform partner that has extensive Azure experience will save you time and ensure continued productivity. At Nortec, we have 8 Gold competencies, including cloud-specific proficiencies. We earned a Gold Cloud Platform Competency after demonstrating our ability to modernize infrastructure and successfully migrate business applications and data to the cloud. To earn the Gold Small and Midmarket Cloud Solutions, we had to prove our expertise in cloud solutions, like Office 365, that increase productivity and security at small- and mid-sized businesses. This helped us earn a Gold Cloud Productivity competency too.

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.
