Azure Migrations Built for Real-World SMBs
Fulcrum helps SMBs move to Microsoft Azure with a migration strategy that prioritizes stability, cost control, and business continuity—not hype. Whether you’re coming from aging on-prem servers, a partially virtualized environment, or a mix of legacy systems, we design migrations that enable your organization for greater things, reduce downtime, protect your data, and avoid surprises. Our approach starts with application dependency mapping, data classification, and risk analysis so workloads land in Azure the right way—right-sized, secure, and aligned with how your business actually operates.
When Cloud Is the Right Move
Cloud Computing is ideal when organizations need scalability, remote access, improved security controls, or readiness for AI-driven tools like Microsoft Copilot. It is not always the first step if foundational IT hygiene is missing. Cloud computing can bring enterprise-level capabilities to even the smallest organizations on a per-user basis.
Hybrid or Cloud-Only—Designed Around How You Work
Not every SMB should go “all cloud” overnight, and Fulcrum is comfortable saying that out loud. We have also developed and support hybrid Azure environments that allow organizations to keep latency-sensitive, compliance-driven, or legacy workloads on-prem while extending identity, security, backup, and disaster recovery into Azure. Either way, Fulcrum supports the full lifecycle—identity and access, networking, monitoring, backup, patching, and security—under one accountable managed services umbrella.
When you sign up for The Fulcrum Group's professional cloud computing services, you'll find:
- Security – Your business's vital systems and data will be protected from loss, and even theft.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is cloud computing and how does it work for small businesses?
Cloud computing allows small businesses to access software, storage, and servers over the internet instead of buying and maintaining their own hardware. It can help with CapEx budgeting and offers flexibility, cost savings, and the ability to scale up and down.
2. What are the main benefits of cloud computing for local governments?
Cloud computing helps local governments reduce IT costs, improve disaster recovery, increase staff mobility, and deliver public services more efficiently through secure, scalable platforms. Rural areas might be limited by bandwidth and local Internet.
3. What are common examples of cloud computing used by SMBs?
Common cloud services used by SMBs include Microsoft 365 for email, collaboration and file sharing, QuickBooks Online for accounting, Digium SwitchVOX VoIP PBX, Azure virtual servers and Entra ID joined networks. Some line-of-business vendors also offer cloud versions of their server applications.
4. What is the difference between public cloud and private cloud?
A public cloud is a shared infrastructure like Microsoft Azure, where resources are hosted off-site. A private cloud is when we build out a local colocation facility dedicated to your organization, in a secure data center like Flexential, to provide services to all your remote users and locations.
5. How do I know if my business is ready to move to the cloud?
If your business still has outdated hardware, needs remote workers, adding security or wants to add new applications or services, it may be time to move to the cloud. We can conduct a readiness assessment to right-size your foundation and help evaluate vendors.
