Truly work from anywhere with reliable and secure Cloud Computing options

Cloud computing is simply the ability to store and access your data from any location and any device that has access to the internet.

Implementing cloud computing in your business can have many benefits, including; improved communications and collaboration, increased staff productivity and a more flexible and accessible workplace.

It also removes the risk of physical infrastructure, such as a server, being onsite in your business and the cost and time associated with the upgrade cycle every 5 years.

If you’re thinking of moving your business to the cloud there are a whole range of different options to choose from.

Cloud Computing
Private Cloud Computing
Private Cloud Computing

Private cloud is usually seen as something only large companies can implement, as it requires access to costly data centres and large investments in infrastructure. The main reason companies invest a lot of their time and money into private cloud is the increased level of security and privacy it provides, as well as the ability to easily scale and customise.

We have developed our own private cloud platform called VAULT that was specifically designed and built for businesses here in Australia. As we own and manage all the infrastructure, you can enjoy the security, scalability and customisation of private cloud without the headache of managing such a complex environment.

Private cloud and proactive partnerships – Addison Partners

Addison Partners is a professional accounting firm with five partners, over 30 staff and offices in Dungog, Gloucester, Taylors Beach and Singleton. They were facing the typical dilemma when trying to improve their IT systems, ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’. As a happy Reckon APS firm, they didn’t want to move away from their practice management software, but they did want the ability to move it to the cloud to improve accessibility.

“We didn’t know what we didn’t know. We weren’t sure how our system should look and our IT partner at the time didn’t have experience supporting accountants.”

Public Cloud Computing

Unlike private cloud, public cloud is hosted and completely managed by a third party where you share infrastructure with other ‘cloud tenants’, with Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS well known examples of public cloud platforms.

Public cloud is a popular cloud option because of the lower upfront cost and reduced responsibility in managing the infrastructure.

We will efficiently and securely manage your migration to a public cloud platform and implement security processes and monitoring so you can enjoy the benefits of public cloud without the worry of compromised security.

Secure public cloud solutions – Allworths Chartered Accountants

Allworths have always been a firm who are ahead of the curve and can see the value of staying ahead of current trends in the accounting industry.

After seeing the benefits for their firm, Allworths decided to move their practice management software from MYOB AE to Xero. With this move this meant that all of their applications were now cloud based, but historic data still needed to be stored and protected somewhere.

Strategic Group and Allworths worked together to come up with a strategic technology roadmap that would enable Allworths to securely manage their data and move to a public cloud solution.

Hybrid Cloud Computing

Often described as the ‘best of both worlds’, hybrid cloud solutions combine on-site servers or private cloud with public cloud platforms so that businesses can enjoy the benefits of both. In this situation you may use public cloud for applications such as email, and private cloud for sensitive information such as financial reporting.

Many of our clients are running hybrid cloud solutions specifically tailored to their business needs, as the nature of hybrid cloud allows you to pick and choose from the different cloud options to match your business objectives.

We can create a customised hybrid cloud that works for your business by giving you the security of a private cloud with the flexibility of public cloud.

We have supported many businesses on their cloud journey and are highly experienced at providing cloud solutions tailored to your specific needs.
