No matter what the size, or where a business is on its technology journey, from one-off projects that can be as simple as migrating your current on-premises email solution to the cloud, through to building an entirely new technology infrastructure, Synergy can offer you exceptional support to suit a range of needs and budgets. We provide a service that can reduce reliance on physical on-premises solutions, improving the ability to work flexibly from anywhere whilst also enhancing the security and reliability of your company’s infrastructure and data.

Adapting businesses’ modern needs and flexible working

As the need for a distributed workforce grows, technology infrastructure becomes a critical factor in maximising a business’s profitability. Cloud and productivity solutions enables a business to better support their team and open the doors to fishing for talent in a larger wider pool, in the UK or further afield.

Without viable cloud and productivity options, it can lead to unproductive staff through slow, disconnected equipment that’s simply not fit for purpose.

To support a more inclusive workplace and improve accessibility, there are a range of tools that enable a new world of talent with vision, hearing, learning, neurodiversity, and mobility challenges to bring their energy and experience to a modern workplace.

Cloud solutions

Cloud technologies have been around for over a decade and have had hundreds of billions of pounds spent on their development, yet many businesses still have no awareness of what the cloud can bring to the table for their business. Without this awareness, there can be no effective planning and without planning your business is operating at reduced efficiency. The longer this continues the further behind your business gets when compared to your competitors. Secure, compliant, fast, agile and easy to use cloud solutions can provide everything a business needs for a modern workplace. Eliminate large capital expenditures by spreading these costs over a set period at a fixed monthly cost. Cloud can deliver solutions to fit your needs, rather than accepting one size fits all legacy approach. Synergy can work with you to plan and support the right solution for today and tomorrow.

We deliver an elegant solution designed for the unique needs of your business.

Cloud infrastructure

A cloud platform that grows as a business does

With a scalable cloud infrastructure solution, Synergy primarily utilises Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 platforms to deliver cloud solutions. This allows us to support all your business’s computing and application requirements and benefit from flexible pricing and features.

Whether businesses are looking to move existing on-premises servers to the cloud or are building new solutions, a cloud infrastructure solution offers power and reliability with fixed prices, perfect for small to medium-sized businesses.

Productivity

A cloud solution is not just a server in someone else’s data centre it’s also applications and services with thousands of third-party productivity tools all running in an environment that incorporates enterprise grade security, redundancy, and scalability.

With collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, there are many options available to better enable business productivity. Microsoft Teams Connect will enable users to share channels in Microsoft Teams across multiple organisations. And now with new initiatives such as the Metaverse, there are solutions, for the coming of the next internet, through a productivity & creativity focus.

Microsoft Azure isn’t just a cloud infrastructure. It’s a complete ecosystem, blending Microsoft’s range of cloud-based applications and services with others from thousands of third-party providers. Azure also hosts next-generation technologies like AI and blockchain, giving customers access to cutting-edge options that they wouldn’t have the resources to develop themselves.
