Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just dealing with outdated servers. You’re dealing with the reality that one severe thunderstorm or winter ice event could take down your entire operation. Lebanon businesses face real weather risks, and when your on-premise server goes down, you’re looking at days of lost productivity, scrambling for emergency IT help, and hoping your last backup actually worked.
Cloud infrastructure eliminates that vulnerability. Your data lives in geographically redundant data centers with enterprise-grade backup systems. When severe weather hits Boone County, your team keeps working. Files stay accessible. Customer service continues. You’re not explaining to clients why you can’t access their information.
Beyond disaster recovery, cloud services solve the scalability problem growing Lebanon businesses face. Adding employees no longer means purchasing new servers or worrying about capacity. You scale resources up or down based on actual needs, paying only for what you use. Manufacturing companies managing supply chains, healthcare providers handling patient records, and professional services around the courthouse square all gain the flexibility to grow without infrastructure constraints holding them back.
CTS Computers has supported Boone County businesses through three decades of technology evolution. We’ve migrated over 200 companies to cloud infrastructure across central Indiana and Illinois, including professional offices near the Boone County Courthouse, manufacturers along the SR 39 corridor, and healthcare providers requiring HIPAA-compliant solutions.
Our team holds certifications from Microsoft, Dell, VMware, and Citrix—the platforms powering your cloud environment. But credentials only matter if they translate to results. We’ve helped Lebanon accounting firms transition from server rooms to secure cloud access during tax season without missing a single deadline. We’ve moved medical practices to HIPAA-compliant cloud systems while maintaining patient care continuity. We’ve enabled manufacturers to provide real-time inventory access across multiple locations.
What sets our approach apart is understanding that Lebanon businesses need more than technology—they need a partner who shows up. We provide on-site support throughout Boone County when you need face-to-face assistance, combined with 24/7 remote monitoring that catches issues before they impact your operations. You’re not calling a distant help desk. You’re working with technicians who understand the local business environment and respond with urgency.
Cloud migration starts with a thorough assessment of your current infrastructure. We inventory every application, database, and workflow to identify what moves to the cloud, what stays on-premise in a hybrid setup, and what needs upgrading. This planning phase typically takes one to two weeks and prevents the surprises that derail migrations.
During implementation, we configure your cloud environment on platforms like Microsoft Azure or AWS based on your specific requirements. Security protocols, access controls, backup schedules, and compliance measures get built into the foundation. For most Lebanon small businesses, the core migration happens over a weekend or after-hours period to minimize disruption. Larger implementations with complex applications may phase in over several weeks, keeping your current systems running until the cloud environment is fully tested.
Post-migration support is where many providers disappear—we don’t. Our team provides hands-on training for your staff, monitors system performance during the critical first 30 days, and optimizes configurations based on actual usage patterns. You receive documented procedures for common tasks, direct contact information for our support team, and regular check-ins to address questions as they arise. The goal is making your team confident and productive in the new environment, not just getting systems moved.

Our cloud services portfolio covers the full spectrum of business needs. Infrastructure as a Service provides virtual servers, storage, and networking that replace physical hardware. Software as a Service delivers fully managed applications like Microsoft 365, email security, and collaboration tools. Platform as a Service supports custom applications your business depends on. We also provide cloud backup and disaster recovery, cybersecurity monitoring, and compliance management for regulated industries.
Lebanon businesses benefit from hybrid cloud configurations that keep sensitive data on-premise while leveraging cloud scalability for everything else. This approach works particularly well for healthcare providers managing patient records, financial services handling confidential client information, and manufacturers with proprietary processes. You maintain control where it matters while gaining cloud advantages for operations, collaboration, and remote access.
Pricing structures align with business realities. You’re not locked into massive upfront investments or rigid contracts. Monthly costs scale with users, storage, and computing resources you actually consume. We provide transparent cost projections during the assessment phase, showing exactly what you’ll pay based on your requirements. As your Lebanon business grows—adding employees, opening locations, or expanding services—your cloud infrastructure grows with you without the capital expenditure and lead time traditional IT expansion requires.
Lebanon businesses have access to comprehensive cloud services including Infrastructure as a Service (virtual servers and storage), Software as a Service (managed applications like Microsoft 365), Platform as a Service (custom application hosting), cloud backup and disaster recovery, cybersecurity monitoring, and compliance management. CTS Computers delivers these services throughout Boone County with local support and 24/7 monitoring.
We specialize in hybrid cloud configurations that work well for Lebanon’s diverse business community—from professional offices around the courthouse square requiring secure document management to manufacturers along SR 39 needing supply chain visibility. Services include migration planning, implementation, ongoing management, and optimization. Our team holds certifications from Microsoft, VMware, and major cloud platforms, ensuring your infrastructure meets enterprise standards while remaining accessible to small and medium businesses.
Cloud computing costs for Boone County businesses typically range from $50-150 per user monthly for basic services including email, file storage, and standard applications. More comprehensive solutions with enhanced security, compliance features, and custom applications run $150-300 per user monthly. These costs include software licenses, storage, computing resources, security tools, and ongoing management—expenses that would separately total much more with traditional on-premise infrastructure.
Total cost of ownership comparisons show cloud services often cost 30-40% less than maintaining on-premise servers when factoring in hardware purchases, software licensing, electricity, cooling, physical space, backup systems, and IT staff time. Migration costs are typically one-time investments of $2,000-10,000 depending on infrastructure complexity. We provide detailed cost projections during assessment so Lebanon businesses can budget accurately without surprises.
Cloud migration delivers immediate benefits for Lebanon companies including protection against data loss from severe weather events common in Boone County, elimination of expensive server hardware and maintenance costs, and ability to scale resources as your business grows without capital investment. You gain secure remote access enabling employees to work from anywhere, automatic software updates and security patches, and enterprise-grade backup with geographic redundancy.
Operational benefits include improved collaboration through cloud-based tools, faster deployment of new applications without hardware procurement delays, and predictable monthly costs replacing unpredictable emergency IT expenses. Lebanon businesses competing regionally gain technology capabilities matching Indianapolis firms while maintaining lower overhead. Healthcare providers achieve HIPAA compliance more easily, professional services enable flexible work arrangements attracting better talent, and manufacturers gain real-time visibility across multiple locations. The combination of cost savings, improved reliability, and enhanced capabilities creates competitive advantages for forward-thinking Boone County companies.
Choosing a cloud provider for your Lebanon business requires evaluating several critical factors. First, verify technical expertise through platform certifications (Microsoft, AWS, VMware) and specific experience with your industry’s requirements—healthcare providers need HIPAA expertise, financial services need compliance knowledge, manufacturers need integration capabilities. Ask for references from similar-sized businesses in Boone County or central Indiana.
Second, assess support capabilities. Determine if they provide 24/7 monitoring, what response times they guarantee, and whether they offer on-site support in Lebanon when needed. Review their disaster recovery procedures and backup protocols. Third, examine transparency around pricing, migration process, and service level agreements. Providers should explain costs clearly, outline migration timelines realistically, and document what’s included in ongoing management. Finally, evaluate their longevity and local presence—providers with decades serving the region demonstrate stability and commitment to the community.
Public cloud solutions use shared infrastructure from providers like Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud where multiple businesses share the same physical servers through virtualization. This approach offers the lowest costs, highest scalability, and minimal management requirements. Public cloud works well for most Lebanon small businesses needing standard applications, file storage, and email services without specialized compliance requirements.
Private cloud solutions provide dedicated infrastructure exclusively for your business, either hosted in a data center or on-premise. This option offers maximum control, customization, and security but costs significantly more and requires more technical management. Hybrid cloud combines both approaches—keeping sensitive data on private infrastructure while using public cloud for general operations. This hybrid model is popular with Boone County healthcare providers, financial services, and businesses with specific compliance needs. The right choice depends on your security requirements, budget, compliance obligations, and technical resources available.
Cloud migration timelines for Indiana small businesses typically range from two weeks to three months depending on infrastructure complexity. Simple migrations moving email and file storage to Microsoft 365 or similar platforms can complete in 10-15 days including planning, implementation, and training. More complex migrations involving custom applications, databases, and integrated systems require 6-12 weeks for proper assessment, testing, and phased implementation.
The process breaks into distinct phases: assessment and planning (1-2 weeks), environment configuration and testing (1-3 weeks), data migration and cutover (1-3 days to 2 weeks depending on data volume), and post-migration optimization and training (2-4 weeks). Most Lebanon businesses achieve meaningful cloud benefits within 30-60 days of starting the process. Factors affecting timeline include internet bandwidth available for data transfer, complexity of existing applications, staff availability for coordination and training, and whether you choose a complete migration or phased hybrid approach. We work around your business schedule to minimize disruption during the transition.
