How to Create a Secure & Connected Cloud Infrastructure

Many businesses often hesitate to modernize their cloud infrastructure due to the significant costs associated with technology and business transformation. However, companies like Rodriguez Transportation Group (RTG), a recent success story of ours, have experienced the benefits of cloud infrastructure modernization. These benefits include cost savings, enhanced productivity, and a future-ready foundation that is both flexible and adaptable to evolving technological requirements.

It's crucial to understand that cloud infrastructure modernization might sound complex, but it can be implemented in just weeks or a few short months with the right knowledge and experience.

"For the past four years, we've engaged with three or four separate IT vendors. Until I encountered CloudServus, I couldn't find anyone or any IT group that truly understood how to manage our cloud transformation into Azure Active Directory and make it work," says Steve Davidson, CFO, RTG.

Essentially, modernizing your cloud infrastructure:

• Enables your business to operate in the cloud so that employees can use their preferred devices and applications.
• Facilitates data access and usage to improve decision-making.
• Offers employees more flexibility, such as hybrid remote work.

Your customers also benefit from interactions built in the cloud as they can experience more seamless and intuitive interactions with your business, such as easier file sharing, contractual processes, or financial transactions.

CloudServus' experts review a client's existing operating environment through a cloud security assessment, cloud migration, and Azure modernization, identifying barriers and solutions to cloud modernization.

For instance, take our client RTG. One security breach cost them $400,000 while trying to fix damages that ultimately couldn't be repaired. They struggled to find an IT group or managed partner capable of guiding their cloud modernization, as none could approach security as a foundation for modernization.

We helped them implement a zero-trust security environment with Microsoft Zero Trust and Intune. If you can secure your devices, data, and applications, you create a foundation for innovation.

Next, we transitioned RTG away from their on-premises active directory, managed by a physical box in the organization's office space, into Azure AD. Now they can manage users and authentication processes easily.

After that, we helped them move away from MSP or ISP contract lock-ins, switching to Spectrum Business Class Cable Modems, which saved them $9,000 a month by reducing network administration costs.

We also decommissioned their old company laptops, issuing new ones set up to accommodate a new cloud-based working method. All they have to do now is open their new laptops, and it starts downloading all their applications, workflow customizations, and encryptions.

Now, RTG can collaborate securely in a cloud environment, and productivity is at an all-time high because employees can use their preferred devices and applications from any location. They are also saving a considerable amount of money by reducing vendor and IT personnel dependencies.

Best of all, they have a resilient foundation prepared for a future of new technology.
