Is it really complicated to migrate the Microsoft cloud?
It’s understandable that the thought of moving your data to the cloud can seem like a mammoth task, especially for those charities who already have their hands full serving a growing number of needs with a limited number of resources.
Keeping data on-premises is safer than the cloud
And it’s a common misconception that storing data on premises is much more secure than in the cloud.
With an increasing number of cyberattacks occurring every day – 65,000 registered charities were hit in the last 12 months – it is practically impossible for any organisation to maintain an IT security team large enough to stay on top of them all – let alone a charity who is reliant on donations and fundraising to cover the costs of this vital resource.
The Microsoft Cloud includes a comprehensive set of security technologies to help protect your charity’s critical data. So, you know you need to make the move to the cloud sooner rather than later – but where do you start?
How to get your cloud journey started
For those who feel daunted by moving to the cloud, we recommend that you simply don’t move everything at once. You can ease your way into the cloud and keep some workloads on premises if you prefer. A relatively quick and easy first step to the cloud is to deploy Microsoft 365 Business Premium. Microsoft 365 Business Premium brings together best-in-class Office apps, powerful cloud services and comprehensive security that helps protect your charity against advanced cyber threats.
Using the online tool, FastTrack for Microsoft 365, charities can also accelerate cloud deployment and end-user adoption while minimising the impact on your hardworking staff.
