What cloud services does Simply IT manage for small businesses?

Simply IT manages Microsoft 365 including Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Exchange. We also provide cloud backup and recovery, SharePoint document management, workflow automation, cloud infrastructure management, and Microsoft 365 security configuration. All cloud services are managed under one provider with monthly reporting and proactive monitoring.

How much does Microsoft 365 management cost?

Simply IT manages Microsoft 365 for $15 per user per month. This includes full deployment and configuration, security hardening, Teams and SharePoint setup, ongoing management, and support for all Microsoft 365 applications. Microsoft licensing is separate — Simply IT can procure licensing on your behalf or manage your existing subscription.

Does Simply IT help nonprofits get discounted Microsoft 365 pricing?

Yes. Simply IT applies for Microsoft nonprofit licensing on behalf of qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations. Microsoft 365 Business Basic and Business Standard are FREE for qualifying nonprofits, and Business Premium is just $6 per user per month versus $27 commercial. Simply IT handles the TechSoup verification, application, and the full migration and deployment.

Is cloud backup necessary if we already use Microsoft 365?

Yes. Microsoft 365 includes basic data retention but it is not a comprehensive backup solution. Microsoft's shared responsibility model places the responsibility for data protection on the customer. Simply IT deploys automated backup of all Microsoft 365 data including SharePoint, Teams, Exchange, and OneDrive — with point-in-time restoration and monthly restoration testing.

How long does it take to migrate a small business to Microsoft 365?

Simply IT typically completes Microsoft 365 migrations for small businesses over a single weekend — minimizing disruption to business operations. The timeline depends on the size of the organization and the complexity of the existing environment. Simply IT has completed migrations for organizations ranging from 3 to 50 users with zero data loss in every engagement.

// Quick Answer

What is cloud computing for a small business?

Cloud computing for a small business means moving the email, file storage, applications, and backup that used to run on an in-office server up to providers like Microsoft 365, Azure, and Google Workspace. Done correctly, it reduces hardware costs, improves remote-work flexibility, and adds enterprise-grade security. Done poorly, it creates compliance gaps. Simply IT deploys, configures, and manages cloud environments for North Central Florida small businesses with HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, and SOC 2 alignment.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium is HIPAA-eligible only after the BAA is activated in the admin console
M365 commercial pricing: Basic $7.50 · Standard $15 · Premium $27 per user/mo

Microsoft does not back up your data — third-party backup (Datto, Dropsuite, Veeam) is required

//Why Simply IT for Cloud & Automation.

COMPLEX CLOUD VS.
SIMPLIFIED BUSINESS SYSTEMS.

Many IT companies focus on cloud technology for its own sake — complex migrations, overcomplicated architectures, and systems your team can't actually use. We call this the WingIT approach to cloud. Simply IT focuses on business outcomes — simpler systems, real automation, and measurable efficiency gains.

⚠

What Is a “WingIT” Cloud Approach?

A WingIT cloud approach focuses on moving systems to the cloud without thinking about how your business actually operates. The result is disconnected tools your team struggles to use, manual processes that were never automated, systems that don't talk to each other, and a monthly Microsoft 365 bill with most features sitting unused. Technology for technology's sake — not for your business's sake.

//The Simply Standard · Watch · Protect · Plan · Support

HOW THE SIMPLY STANDARD
APPLIES TO CLOUD

Every Cloud engagement runs on the same four-part method we hold every client to — so nothing gets missed and nothing gets left behind.

Watch

We see it first.

We monitor your Microsoft 365 tenant, backups, and cloud-sync health around the clock — catching failed backups and license drift before they cost you data or money.

Protect

We keep it safe.

Identity-first security on every cloud account: MFA, conditional access, and immutable, tested backups of your M365 data — because the cloud is not a backup by itself.

Plan

We look ahead.

A cloud roadmap that right-sizes your licensing and storage to how your team actually works — no paying for seats and tiers you don't use.

Support

We pick up.

Migrations, new-user setup, and day-to-day cloud questions handled by the same local team — no Microsoft support queue, no ticket black hole.

//Getting Started Is Simple.

THREE STEPS TO SMARTER
BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY.

Cloud & Automation Assessment

We review your current systems workflows and manual processes to identify where cloud technology and automation can deliver the biggest impact for your business.

Simplified System Design

We design a cloud and automation solution built around how your business actually operates — not a generic package. Clear pricing no surprises no unnecessary complexity.

Ongoing Management & Optimization

We manage your cloud environment continuously optimizing systems adding automation and helping your business get more value from its technology investment over time.

//How Much Is Inefficiency Costing You?.

HOW MUCH TIME IS YOUR BUSINESS
LOSING TO INEFFICIENCY?

Most businesses accept manual processes and disconnected systems as normal. They're not normal — they're expensive. Every repetitive task your team does manually is time and money your business is leaving on the table. We help you take it back.

Repetitive Manual Tasks

Data entry form filling report generation and other repetitive tasks your team does manually every day can almost always be automated — freeing your people for higher-value work.

Disconnected Systems

When your CRM doesn't talk to your accounting software and your email doesn't connect to your project management tool your team wastes hours every week bridging the gaps manually.

Switching Between Tools

The average employee switches between applications 1,100 times per day. Unified and integrated systems eliminate this constant context switching and the productivity loss that comes with it.

Lack of Business Visibility

Without integrated systems you're making decisions based on incomplete information. Connected cloud systems give you real-time visibility into how your business is performing.
