But it doesn’t end there; Think can then support the process of integrating the respective solution, and provide various levels of on-going support to ensure maximum end-user productivity and satisfaction.

If you are wondering how to dip your toes in the Cloud services market, or you want to more fully leverage all the Cloud has to offer, the friendly and knowledgeable Think Cloud consultants will show you the benefits and pitfalls of Cloud IT solutions.

Managed IT

Think’s Managed IT solutions can augment or eliminate the need for a dedicated in-house IT department, providing full IT consulting, implementation and support for a predictable, fixed monthly rate. The Think solution ensures your IT runs smoothly and also provides strategic and long term consulting. Our virtual CIO (vCIO) and technical consultants develop IT road maps and strategies to align your IT infrastructure with your business objectives, all while maximizing the value of your IT investment and freeing up your internal employees to focus on what you do best.

Infrastructure Monitoring

Whether you’re a medium business with a handful of critical systems, or an enterprise with global IT infrastructure, we can assist in monitoring the IT systems that power your business.

Cloud Backup + Disaster Recovery

Cloud Backup and DR (BDR) solutions can mean a significant reduction in upfront capital expenditures for many organizations, as there is no requirement to purchase storage hardware infrastructure and software licensing.

Instead, Cloud Backup services align backup costs with actual usage. Think clients that leverage Cloud Backup and DR solutions don’t have to over-provision backup storage and compute capacity to accommodate future growth. But most importantly, clients who have embraced Cloud BDR can actually test <gasp> and prove successful backups and restores and sleep better at night for it.
