You’re not dealing with that moment of panic when your server goes down and you don’t know if you’ll lose everything. Your data stays protected across multiple geographic locations, automatically backed up every few hours without anyone having to remember to do it.
When severe thunderstorms roll through Will County—and they do—your business keeps running. Files stay accessible whether your team is working from the office on Main Street, from home during a snowstorm, or traveling to meet clients in Chicago. No more emailing documents back and forth or wondering which version is current.
The real benefit isn’t just avoiding disasters. It’s the daily relief of knowing your technology actually works. Your accounting software loads in seconds instead of minutes. Your team collaborates on projects without file conflicts. When you need more storage or computing power, it scales up instantly without buying new hardware.
That’s what proper cloud infrastructure does—it removes technology as a source of stress so you can focus on serving customers and growing your business.
Since 1991, we’ve helped over 500 small and medium-sized businesses across Illinois and Indiana solve their technology challenges. We’re not a distant call center—our team is right here in central Illinois, and we understand how businesses operate in Manhattan and throughout Will County.
We partner with Dell, Microsoft, VMware, and Citrix to deliver cloud solutions that actually match what you need. No overselling services that don’t make sense for a business your size. When you call, you reach someone who knows your setup and can fix problems fast, not someone reading from a script.
Our approach is straightforward: make your technology reliable so it stops being a problem. We’ve migrated dozens of local businesses to the cloud over the past five years, and most tell us they wish they’d done it sooner. Predictable monthly costs, better security, and technology that scales with your growth—that’s what we deliver.
We start with a thorough assessment of your current infrastructure. What applications do you use daily? How much data needs to move? What compliance requirements apply to your industry? This planning phase typically takes one to two weeks and ensures we design a cloud environment that fits how your team actually works.
Migration happens during off-hours—evenings or weekends—so your business continues operating normally. We move your data in phases, test everything thoroughly, and keep your old systems running until you confirm the new setup works perfectly. Most Manhattan businesses complete migration in two to four weeks depending on complexity. You’re never left without access to critical files or applications.
After you’re running in the cloud, our 24/7 monitoring catches issues before they affect your operations. We handle security updates, patches, and maintenance automatically. You get monthly reports on system performance and direct access to our support team whenever questions come up. As your business grows, we adjust resources to match your needs without lengthy service calls or equipment purchases.

We provide cloud-based applications for accounting, customer management, and industry-specific needs that integrate seamlessly with your existing workflows.
Our services include 24/7 monitoring, regular security updates, and disaster recovery planning designed for the challenges businesses face in Will County—severe weather, power outages, and the need to support remote workers. You get enterprise-grade infrastructure without the complexity or cost of managing it yourself.
Most Manhattan businesses start with basic cloud storage and email, then expand to include more applications as they see the benefits. We scale services to match your growth, whether you’re a five-person operation on Main Street or a fifty-employee company serving the Chicago metro area.
Cloud service costs depend on your data volume, number of users, and specific applications needed. Small businesses with under ten employees typically invest $100-$300 monthly for complete cloud infrastructure including storage, backup, email, and support. Medium-sized businesses with 10-50 employees usually spend $500-$1,500 monthly depending on their requirements.
Initial migration costs range from $2,000-$8,000 for most Manhattan businesses, covering assessment, planning, data transfer, testing, and training. This one-time investment often pays for itself within the first year through eliminated hardware purchases, reduced maintenance costs, and avoided downtime expenses.
We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees for data transfer or support calls. Many businesses find they actually spend less on cloud services than they were paying for server maintenance, software licenses, and IT staff time managing on-premise systems.
Cloud storage is where you actively work with files—accessing, editing, and sharing documents your team uses daily. It’s like having a file server that everyone can reach from anywhere with internet access. Cloud backup, on the other hand, creates automatic copies of your data specifically for disaster recovery purposes.
Think of cloud storage as your active workspace and cloud backup as your safety net. If someone accidentally deletes an important file or ransomware encrypts your systems, cloud backup lets you restore everything to a previous point in time. Good backup systems keep multiple versions going back days or weeks.
Most businesses need both. Cloud storage enables daily collaboration and remote work, while cloud backup protects against data loss from hardware failure, cyberattacks, or human error. We typically configure backups to run automatically every few hours, storing copies in multiple geographic locations for maximum protection against disasters affecting Will County.
Professional cloud services provide significantly better security than most small businesses can achieve with local servers. Your data gets encrypted both during transfer and while stored, making it unreadable to anyone without proper credentials. We implement multi-factor authentication, requiring more than just a password to access sensitive information.
Cloud providers invest millions in security infrastructure—firewalls, intrusion detection, 24/7 monitoring, and regular security audits—that would be impossible for individual businesses to replicate. Your data is stored across multiple secure data centers, so even if one location experiences problems, your information remains protected and accessible.
For Manhattan businesses with specific compliance needs, we configure cloud environments to meet HIPAA requirements for healthcare, PCI-DSS standards for payment processing, or other industry regulations. We also provide regular security reports and conduct vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks before they become problems.
Cloud migration eliminates the constant worry about server failures and data loss while giving your team the flexibility to work from anywhere. You stop spending money on expensive hardware that becomes outdated in three to five years, replacing it with predictable monthly costs that scale with your business needs.
Your team gains faster access to files and applications, better collaboration tools, and the ability to work productively during snowstorms or when traveling. When severe weather threatens Will County, your business continuity doesn’t depend on whether your office has power—your data and applications remain accessible from any location with internet.
The security benefits are substantial. Professional cloud infrastructure protects against ransomware attacks that have shut down businesses permanently. Automatic backups mean you can recover from disasters, accidents, or cyberattacks without losing critical business data. Most Manhattan businesses also see productivity improvements as technology stops being a bottleneck and starts enabling growth.
Most small businesses in Manhattan complete cloud migration in two to four weeks from initial assessment to full operation. Simple setups with basic file storage and email can be done in just a few days, while more complex environments with multiple applications and larger data volumes may take six to eight weeks.
The timeline depends on how much data you’re moving, how many applications need migration, and your team’s availability for testing and training. We schedule the actual data transfer during evenings or weekends to avoid disrupting your business operations. Your old systems stay operational until you confirm everything works correctly in the new environment.
We work around your schedule and business demands. If you’re a retail business approaching your busy season, we’ll plan migration for slower periods. The goal is a smooth transition where your team barely notices the change except for improved performance and reliability. Most businesses are surprised by how seamless the process is when properly planned and executed.
