How A & G works

Discover / Assess / Improve
  • Understand what the business needs from technology
  • Design and deploy the right improvements
  • Manage, document, and improve the environment over time

Cloud Services covers the Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment itself: migrations, licensing, permissions, and cleanup — the layer above the network that most day-to-day work actually happens in.

A lot of cloud environments accumulate waste over time: unused licenses, shared drives with permissions nobody remembers granting, and accounts left active after someone leaves. Cleaning that up isn't just tidiness — it reduces both cost and security risk at the same time.

What this service includes

  • Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace migration and setup
  • License audit to cut unused or duplicate seats
  • Permissions and shared-drive cleanup
  • Ongoing account, security, and access management

Common problems this solves

  • Paying for licenses nobody uses
  • Shared drives and permissions nobody can explain
  • A migration that was never fully finished
  • Email, calendar, or file access issues traced back to cloud config

Platforms and environments

Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace — storage, identity, and common third-party app integrations.

Frequently asked questions

Can you migrate us without losing data or access during the switch?

Yes, migrations are planned and tested before the cutover, with a rollback plan in case anything doesn't transfer cleanly.

We're already on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace — is there still a reason to do this?

Very often. Most existing environments have license waste, permission sprawl, or security gaps that built up over time even without a migration involved.

Do you handle the software side, or just the network?

Both. Cloud Services covers the software environment itself — accounts, permissions, licensing — while related services handle the network and devices that connect to it.

Example service scenarios

  • Migrating from on-premise email/files to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace
  • Auditing licenses and permissions after the business has grown or changed
  • Cleaning up shared drives so people can actually find what they need

Cloud and Account Management

  • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace administration — accounts, access, and user changes.
  • User onboarding and offboarding, MFA, and password planning.
  • Cloud systems are managed as part of the whole environment, not as isolated subscriptions.

Cloud services should make work easier, safer, and more organized.

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and the tools around them need clear ownership and practical configuration.

  • Review account security, permissions, and how people join and leave the system.
  • Clean up confusion around who owns accounts, who can access data, and how recovery works.
  • Recommend improvements that reduce support issues and help staff use the tools with confidence.

Quick answers

Questions clients ask about this service.

Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace — which should we use?

Whichever fits how your team actually works. A&G supports both, and the recommendation follows your workflow, existing licenses, and the software your business depends on.

Can you migrate us without losing email or files?

Yes. Migrations are staged and verified — mail, files, and permissions are confirmed on the new platform before the old one is retired.

Can you clean up an account setup we did ourselves?

Yes, and it is a common request: licensing, sharing permissions, security settings, and account ownership often need untangling as a business grows.
