Managed Cloud Services

FAQ's About Managed Cloud Services

Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our Managed Cloud Services. These insights will help you understand how Sagiss supports your business in the cloud.

• What cloud platforms do you manage?

  Sagiss primarily manages Microsoft-based cloud environments, including Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365. We also support hybrid setups that integrate on-prem infrastructure with cloud services.

• Do I have to be fully in the cloud to use Sagiss’s managed services?

  No. Sagiss supports hybrid environments and provides flexible migration planning - so you can move to the cloud at your own pace. 

• Can Sagiss help us manage Microsoft 365 and related licenses?

  Absolutely. Sagiss is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), so we handle license procurement, configuration, and ongoing support while cutting out the middlemen. 

• Can you help us migrate our data to the cloud?

  Yes. We handle end-to-end cloud migration—from planning and risk assessment to post-migration support—so there's minimal disruption to your business. 

• Do you offer disaster recovery in the cloud?

  Yes. Our managed cloud services include secure backup and disaster recovery planning to ensure your business can recover quickly from unexpected events. 

• What’s the difference between managed cloud services and cloud hosting?

  Cloud hosting gives you space on a server; managed cloud services provide full support, optimization, security and ongoing management of that environment. 

• Do you provide managed cloud services throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area?

  Yes. Our team is based in Irving and supports businesses across the entire DFW metroplex — including Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, Allen, Richardson, Arlington, Addison, Carrollton and the surrounding North Texas area. You get local cloud expertise without having to work with a provider who's never set foot in your market.

• What does "managed" cloud services actually mean for a Dallas business?

  It means you're not just renting cloud space and figuring it out on your own. With managed cloud services, Sagiss handles the setup, security, ongoing monitoring, license management, and optimization of your cloud environment — so your team can focus on running the business instead of managing the technology.

• How do your managed cloud services differ from just buying Microsoft 365 directly?

  When you purchase Microsoft 365 directly from Microsoft, you get licenses — but not support, configuration, or strategy. As a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider, Sagiss handles license procurement, sets everything up properly, and provides ongoing support for Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, and the rest of the suite. You also get a single point of contact for billing and troubleshooting.

• Is Sagiss a certified Microsoft partner?

  Yes. Sagiss is a Microsoft Solutions Partner and direct Cloud Solution Provider (CSP). That means we purchase licenses directly from Microsoft rather than through a third-party distributor — which translates to faster support access, streamlined billing, and better value for your business.

• What industries in North Texas do you typically provide managed cloud services for?

  We work with small and mid-sized businesses across a range of industries — including professional services, financial services, healthcare, construction, and nonprofits. If your business operates in the DFW area and relies on cloud-based tools to run, our managed cloud services are built for you.

• Can your managed cloud services support a remote or hybrid workforce?

  Absolutely. Managed cloud services are particularly valuable for businesses with distributed teams. We set up and manage secure access to your cloud environment from any device, anywhere — including VPN configurations, Microsoft 365 collaboration tools, endpoint management, and mobile device management (MDM).

• What happens to our data if something goes wrong in the cloud?

  Our managed cloud services include secure backup and disaster recovery planning. We maintain redundant backups of your data and have recovery procedures in place so your business can get back up and running quickly if something unexpected happens — whether that's a ransomware attack, accidental deletion, or a service outage.

• How long does a cloud migration typically take for a Dallas business?

  It depends on the size and complexity of your environment, but most migrations for small to mid-sized North Texas businesses are completed without major disruption to daily operations. We handle the full process — planning, risk assessment, execution, and post-migration support — so you're not left managing it yourself.

• Do your managed cloud services include cybersecurity?

  Yes. Security is built into every layer of what we do. Our managed cloud services include threat detection, access controls, secure configuration of your cloud environment, and ongoing monitoring. We also help with compliance requirements relevant to your industry, whether that's HIPAA, financial regulations, or others.

• How do I know if my Dallas business is ready to move to the cloud?

  That's exactly what our free IT assessment is designed to answer. We'll review your current environment, identify what makes sense to move to the cloud and what doesn't, and put together a plan that fits your timeline and budget. There's no pressure — just a clear picture of where you stand and what your options are.
