Cloud Solutions for Businesses

Work securely from anywhere with modern cloud technology

Cloud services give your employees secure access to email, files, applications and collaboration tools from virtually anywhere. Computer Sales & Services helps businesses select, implement and support cloud solutions designed around their users, security requirements and business goals.

Whether you are moving from an on-premises server, improving remote access, upgrading business email or protecting critical data, CSS can help you build a reliable cloud environment without unnecessary complexity.

Microsoft 365 Solutions

Microsoft 365 brings together the familiar Microsoft applications your employees use every day with secure cloud-based email, file sharing, communication and collaboration.

CSS can help your organization plan, deploy and manage Microsoft 365 services, including:

• Microsoft Outlook and Exchange Online
• Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other Office applications
• Microsoft Teams for chat, meetings and collaboration
• OneDrive cloud storage
• SharePoint document management and team sites
• User account and license management
• Email and data migration
• Security configuration and multifactor authentication
• Ongoing technical support

We help make the transition easier while ensuring your users have the licenses, access and support they need to remain productive.

Hosted Business Email

Professional hosted email provides your organization with reliable business-class communication without requiring you to operate and maintain an email server.

CSS helps businesses implement and support hosted email solutions that provide:

• Custom business email addresses
• Access from computers, smartphones and tablets
• Shared calendars, contacts and mailboxes
• Spam, phishing and malware protection
• Scalable mailbox storage
• Centralized account administration
• Improved reliability and availability
• Support from a local Louisiana technology provider

We can also assist with migrating existing mailboxes, contacts and calendars while minimizing disruption to your business.

Cloud File Storage and Collaboration

Cloud-based file storage allows employees to securely access, share and collaborate on documents whether they are working in the office, at home or on the road.

With Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, your organization can:

• Store files in secure, centralized locations
• Collaborate on documents in real time
• Control internal and external file sharing
• Access current file versions across multiple devices
• Manage permissions by user, department or team
• Reduce reliance on email attachments
• Support remote and hybrid employees

CSS can help organize your cloud file environment and establish appropriate access controls so employees can find and share information without exposing sensitive business data.

Cloud Backup and Data Protection

Storing information in the cloud does not eliminate the need for a dependable backup and recovery strategy. Accidental deletion, cyberattacks, account compromise and retention limitations can still put business information at risk.

CSS can help protect critical systems and cloud data with backup solutions designed to provide:

• Automated backups
• Secure off-site data storage
• Protection for Microsoft 365 email and files
• File, mailbox and system recovery
• Backup monitoring and reporting
• Retention options aligned with business requirements
• Faster recovery following data loss or disruption

A properly designed backup solution helps your business recover important information and maintain operations when something goes wrong.

Email Archiving, Retention and E-Discovery

Organizations in healthcare, legal services, government, education and other regulated industries may need to retain and retrieve email for operational, legal or compliance purposes.

Modern email archiving solutions can help your organization:

• Maintain a centralized, searchable email archive
• Establish retention policies
• Preserve messages for legal holds
• Locate email for audits or e-discovery requests
• Export messages for review
• Reduce dependence on individual user mailboxes
• Support internal governance and compliance requirements

CSS can help evaluate your retention needs and recommend an archiving solution appropriate for your organization.

Cloud Security

Cloud services should be convenient, but they must also be properly secured. Default settings alone may not provide the protection your business needs.

CSS can strengthen your cloud environment through:

• Multifactor authentication
• Identity and access management
• Email threat protection
• Anti-phishing and spam filtering
• User security policies
• Device and application access controls
• Data-sharing restrictions
• Security monitoring
• Employee security awareness
• Backup and recovery planning

Our team can help reduce risk while preserving the accessibility and flexibility that make cloud services valuable.

Cloud Migration and Local Support

Moving business systems to the cloud requires more than purchasing licenses. Applications, data, user accounts, security settings and business workflows must be carefully considered.

CSS provides assistance throughout the process, including:

1. Evaluating your current technology environment
2. Identifying business and security requirements
3. Recommending appropriate cloud services and licenses
4. Planning and completing migrations
5. Configuring users, devices and security settings
6. Training employees on new tools
7. Providing ongoing local support

Since 1990, Computer Sales & Services has helped businesses, schools and government organizations use technology more effectively. Our Louisiana-based team can serve as your trusted technology partner before, during and after your cloud migration.

Benefits of Cloud Solutions

A properly planned cloud environment can help your organization:

• Support remote and hybrid work
• Improve communication and collaboration
• Reduce dependence on aging onsite infrastructure
• Add or remove users more easily
• Strengthen security and access controls
• Protect critical business information
• Improve business continuity
• Access applications and files from multiple devices
• Convert some technology expenses into predictable subscriptions

CSS helps you select solutions based on your actual needs rather than forcing your organization into a one-size-fits-all cloud package.
