Harness The Full Power of The Cloud For Your Business
The reality is that the cloud is far easier to purchase than it is to manage effectively. Licensing tiers continue to multiply, accounts gradually drift out of control, data spreads across undocumented services, and costs increase without anyone noticing in time. We ensure your cloud environment stays clean, predictable, and fully accountable every single month.
NetConnect has run IT for tri-state businesses since 1992, and our cloud solutions earn the same treatment as every other part of the stack. We design the architecture, migrate data carefully, secure the tenant, and document every license your company owns.

How We Keep The Cloud Functional, Secure, Under Budget for Your Business
The cloud is not a product you buy once and forget. It is a set of tenants, licenses, permissions, backups, and integrations that drift every week as your team grows and your vendors push updates. We keep all of it aligned with the way your office actually runs.
Right-Sized By License
Most companies overpay for Microsoft 365 seats they no longer need. We audit each license type against actual usage on schedule and trim the tenant back to what you run.
Seamless Migrations
Cloud migrations fail in public when they fail at all. We plan cutovers weeks ahead, stage the data, test restores, and move your team on a weekend nobody remembers later.
Security Set In Advance
Microsoft 365 ships with defaults that do not protect your business, so we harden conditional access, phishing protection, mailbox rules, and data loss prevention before your first user logs in.
Backups You Can Depend On
Microsoft does not back up Microsoft 365 data beyond thirty days, so we add a third-party backup into separate storage a ransomware hit on your tenant cannot reach at all.
Signs Your Current Cloud Setup Is Failing...
The cloud bill climbs every month, nobody in your office can explain the line items, and the IT partner who set the tenant up three years ago is long gone. The credentials sit on a sticky note in a drawer, and the domain registration is in somebody's personal inbox.
The Microsoft 365 admin console shows forty-eight red alerts your team stopped looking at a year ago, half your accounts still have the password you set at onboarding, and your SharePoint permissions have drifted so far that nobody trusts who can see what anymore.
What Sets NetConnect Apart In Cloud Capabilities
Running day-to-day IT for tri-state offices since 1992 means we have watched the cloud grow up alongside our clients, through every Microsoft rename, every licensing overhaul, and every security shift. Your tenant gets treated the way we treat the rest of your network.
Every cloud project at NetConnect runs from our Staten Island base, with the same team members who handle your day-to-day IT. We treat your tenant as part of your network, not as a separate product, and the license audit, security review, and backup plan all match.
Microsoft 365 Managed Services
Email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, And License Management
Microsoft 365 is the backbone of most SMB offices, so we run the entire tenant end to end. License types get matched to actual usage on a scheduled review, security settings stay at the hardened baseline Microsoft ships as optional, SharePoint and OneDrive permissions get reviewed so nobody has access they forgot they had, and onboarding and offboarding happen on the timeline your HR team sets with us. The console stops being a mystery to your office manager.
Most offices only discover what is in their Microsoft 365 tenant when something breaks or an ex-employee still has a mailbox open three months later. That is not a tenant problem, it is an ownership problem. Our team members treat the tenant the way we treat your network, with documented baselines, scheduled reviews, and a named crew who remembers which shared mailboxes belong to which department. Here is what that looks like.
Scheduled license reviews so you pay for seats you actually use.
Security baselines hardened well past the Microsoft defaults.
Onboarding and offboarding that run to your HR team's timeline.
Private, Public, And Hybrid Cloud
Azure Workloads, Private Cloud Options, Hybrid On-Prem Links
Not every workload belongs in the public cloud. Financial data that cannot leave the country, housing records that sit behind a compliance wall, practice management software that vendors only license for on-premises deployment. We design around what you actually run, not a brochure. Azure for what moves to public cloud, private hosting for what has to stay isolated, and hybrid links so your team does not see the seam when they cross a shared file system.
The public cloud sales pitch is that everything moves, everything gets cheaper, and everything runs better in somebody else's data center. That is not what most regulated offices actually experience when they try it. Our architects start with an honest look at what your business runs today and what each workload costs to move, stay, or split. Then we build the answer that matches the workload, not the slide.
Azure hosting for workloads ready to leave your server room.
Private cloud for data that cannot leave a controlled environment.
Hybrid connections that make the two halves look like one.
Cloud & Data Migration
Planned Cutovers, Staged Data Moves, Tested Rollback Paths
Migrations fail quietly when they fail, and by the time somebody notices, the data is stranded in two places that do not agree. Our migration engagements start with an inventory of every mailbox, file share, and database, and end with a cutover weekend we have rehearsed against a test copy first. The rollback path is written down before the real move starts, not improvised at two on a Sunday morning. You know exactly when the business comes back up.
A cloud migration is not a single button click. It is a sequence of data stages, permission rebuilds, test cutovers, and communication windows that have to happen in the right order for the business to keep running while you move. Our engineers run the entire sequence from our Staten Island base, with the rollback plan and recovery targets written and shared with your leadership before the weekend actually begins.
Full inventory of mailboxes, file shares, and databases first.
Rehearsed test cutover against a copy before the real weekend.
Documented rollback path shared with your leadership in writing.
Why Businesses Trust Us With Their Cloud
Somewhere between the cloud bill nobody understands and the migration that left half the files behind, every SMB owner decides cloud cannot be a hobby run on the side of the office manager's desk anymore. When they hand it to us, they want it boring, documented, and owned.
Bills You Understand
The monthly Microsoft, Azure, and backup bill comes with a summary your CFO can read on one sheet, with no surprise line items and no quiet license creep happening in the background while nobody is looking.
One Tenant, Fully Owned
The console, the admin accounts, the secondary admin in case ours is ever out, the documentation for every custom app connection, all of it lives in one tenant you own, with our team supporting it alongside.
Migrations Land Cleanly
When it finally is time to move servers to Azure, email to Microsoft 365, or the shared drive to SharePoint, the cutover weekend comes and goes with a written rollback path and tested restore behind it.
No Wasted Licensing
When a license tier you are paying for goes under-used or when a seat is assigned to somebody who left the business last month, we catch it during a scheduled review and your next invoice drops.
FAQs About Our Managed Cloud Services
How Often Do You Audit Our Microsoft 365 Licensing And Seat Usage?
On the review cadence we agree with you at onboarding. Our team members pull the full license report, match assigned seats against active usage from the sign-in logs, and flag anything that looks like overspend. We bring the list to your leadership, recommend specific downgrades or reassignments, and then execute the changes so your next invoice reflects what you actually need, not what got turned on three renewals ago.
What Happens To Our Data If We Leave NetConnect Down The Road?
You walk out with everything. The tenant is always in your name, the domain registration is always in your name, and the documentation lives in a shared system you control. If you ever decide to switch IT partners, we hand over credentials, run a clean asset list, and do not hold anything hostage to make the exit painful.
Can You Back Up Microsoft 365 Mailboxes Beyond The Standard Microsoft Retention?
Yes. Microsoft 365 retention for deleted mailboxes only covers a short window by default, which is not enough for most regulated industries. We add a third-party backup that captures Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams data into separate storage. A ransomware incident on your tenant cannot reach those copies, and restores can go back years rather than weeks.
Should We Go With Public Cloud, Private Cloud, Or Something Fully Hybrid?
That depends on what you actually run, not on what a cloud vendor slide says every office should do. Regulated data, legacy applications that require a dedicated server, and files subject to jurisdictional restrictions often have to stay in a controlled environment. Email, collaboration, and general file storage usually belong in the public cloud. We design the mix.
