What's Your Cloud Challenge?
Still On-Premise, Need to Move to Cloud
- Exchange server 10+ years old (failure imminent)
- File servers requiring constant maintenance
- Remote work requires VPN (slow, unreliable)
- Can't afford multi-day email outage
- Previous migration attempts failed
Our approach: Planned migrations with zero disruption. Pre-migration planning, testing, phased approach, weekend cutover with rollback capability.
In Cloud But It's a Mess
- Migrated to Microsoft 365 but poorly configured
- Security not properly configured (failed audit)
- Users don't know how to use SharePoint, Teams
- Still emailing attachments
- MFA not deployed
Our approach: Cloud optimization and security remediation. Proper configuration. User training. Microsoft 365 used to full potential.
Cloud Costs Out of Control
- Everyone is licensed for E5—even when most users only need a mix of E3, E1, and security add-ons.
- Paying for licenses for former employees
- No idea what features include
- Annual costs increasing 20%+
Our approach: License optimization. We’ve saved clients $40K+ annually through right-sized licensing.
McNallan Cloud Services
From Microsoft 365 management to license optimization, we ensure your cloud investment delivers productivity without overpaying or compromising security.
Full Microsoft 365 administration including Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Security configuration, license optimization, and 24/7 support — we manage Microsoft so you don’t have to. We’ve saved clients $40K+ annually just from right-sizing licenses.
License Optimization
Right-sized licensing that eliminates seats you’re not using and delivers the security controls you need at lower cost. E3 with targeted security add-ons delivers E5-level protection without the E5 price tag. Most clients see $40K+ in annual savings.
Cloud Migrations
Secure migrations to Microsoft 365, Azure, and hybrid cloud environments with zero business disruption. We handle planning, execution, data migration, and post-migration optimization — with weekend cutover so your team is productive from day one.
Private & Public Cloud Hosting (IaaS)
Secure private cloud and public cloud infrastructure designed for performance, resilience, and compliance. High-availability hosting with proven uptime for production workloads — including recovery to McNallan’s data center when on-premise systems fail.
Email Migration
On-premise Exchange to Microsoft 365 migrations with zero data loss and minimal user disruption. Mailbox preservation, archive migration, and full validation before cutover — your team notices the upgrade, not the transition.
SharePoint & OneDrive
Document management strategy, collaboration enablement, and permissions and security configuration for SharePoint and OneDrive. We design the structure, migrate existing content, and configure security so your team actually uses it — and your data stays protected.
MFA, conditional access, data loss prevention, and email security configured to satisfy cyber insurance and compliance requirements. Cloud environments are only as secure as their configuration — we make sure yours is done right.
Cloud Backup
Microsoft 365 data is not automatically protected against ransomware, accidental deletion, or retention policy gaps. McNallan implements cloud backup for Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SharePoint, and OneDrive — so your cloud data is as protected as your on-premise systems.
Microsoft 365 User Training
Microsoft 365 adoption training for Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Most businesses pay for Microsoft 365 and use 20% of what they’re paying for — we close that gap and maximize the ROI on licenses you’re already buying.
