Quick answer: Cloud computing lets your business run software, storage, and backups over the internet instead of on hardware you buy and maintain. Hatchway plans and manages cloud setups for small businesses across Metro Vancouver, including Microsoft 365, cloud backup, and hybrid cloud for firms with sensitive data, so you get the flexibility and cost savings without the migration headaches.

What our cloud services cover

  • Cloud migration from on-premise servers, planned to avoid downtime.
  • Microsoft 365 setup, licensing, and management.
  • Cloud backup and disaster recovery so your data survives a failure.
  • Hybrid cloud that keeps sensitive data private while using the public cloud for the rest.
  • Ongoing management as part of managed or co-managed IT.

Why move to the cloud

The cloud replaces large upfront hardware purchases with predictable monthly costs, scales as you grow, and lets staff work securely from anywhere. For firms handling client data, a hybrid setup keeps the most sensitive information under tighter control. For a deeper look, read our guide on cloud computing for small professional firms.

Cloud services for law firms and professional firms

Professional firms need secure access to client files, email and business applications from the office, home and court or client locations. We help law firms and other practices configure Microsoft 365, permissions, backup and recovery so staff can work flexibly without losing control of confidential information.

Why choose Hatchway

We are a local, Vancouver-based team and handle the migration end to end, then keep your cloud environment monitored, secured, and backed up. As a Microsoft partner, we manage licensing and configuration so you are not left to figure it out alone.

Frequently asked questions

Is the cloud secure for a small business?

Yes, when configured properly. Reputable cloud providers offer strong security and compliance, and a hybrid setup keeps the most sensitive data private while using the public cloud for everything else.

Will moving to the cloud save money?

For most small businesses, yes. The cloud replaces big upfront hardware costs with predictable pay-as-you-go pricing and cuts spending on maintenance and downtime.

Can you handle the migration for us?

Yes. We plan and run the migration to minimize downtime, then manage the environment afterward as part of your IT support.
