Why London Businesses Choose 1st IT for Cloud Services
Running your own cloud infrastructure means managing licences, patching security holes, chasing vendor support, and hoping nothing breaks during a Monday morning Teams call. Most SMEs and charities don’t have the time or the in-house expertise for that — and they shouldn’t need to.
We’ve spent over 20 years managing cloud environments for London organisations, from five-person charities to 80-seat offices spread across multiple sites. That experience shows in the details: we know which Microsoft 365 plan actually fits a 12-person nonprofit, when Azure makes sense over a simpler setup, and how to move a team off legacy systems without losing a single file.
Our clients get a named engineer who knows their setup, a dedicated client portal where they can track every open ticket and see real-time response metrics, and live chat when something needs sorting quickly. 130+ London businesses trust us to keep their cloud running — not because of a sales pitch, but because their staff can actually get work done without fighting their IT.
Our Cloud Platforms
Microsoft office 365
Google Workspace
Zero-Downtime Weekend Migration
Your team finishes work Friday afternoon on their old system. By Monday morning, everything is live — emails, files, calendars, permissions. An engineer is on-site Monday to handle any questions. Over 100 migrations completed this way, zero lost working hours.
Planning
A dedicated project manager agrees the timeline and scope with your team. Nothing starts until you’re ready.
Data Transfer
A team of engineers begins moving emails, files, and user accounts to your new cloud platform.
Setup
Accounts configured, migration initiated, IT equipment prepared. Your staff leave the office as normal — no disruption.
Migration
The bulk transfer runs overnight. Email archives, shared drives, permissions, and application settings are all moved.
Verification
Every account, mailbox, and shared folder is tested. Contacts, calendars, distribution lists — nothing gets left behind.
On-Site Support
An engineer is in your office the next working day. Most staff are fully comfortable within the first hour.
What Happens After Migration? Ongoing Cloud Management
Migration is day one. What matters more is every day after that.
Once your cloud environment is live, our team monitors it Monday to Friday with an average response time under 5 minutes. If a user gets locked out, a mailbox fills up, or a permission needs changing — we’re on it before it becomes a problem. Your team can reach us through live chat on the client portal or by raising a ticket directly.
We also handle the work that keeps cloud environments healthy: licence management so you’re not paying for unused seats, security policy updates when Microsoft or Google change their defaults, backup verification so your data is actually recoverable, and proactive patching before vulnerabilities become incidents.
