MICHIGAN – February 2025 – Abadata Computer Corp., a leading managed technology services provider (MTSP), is helping organizations transition their IT networks to Microsoft Azure. Abadata is empowering organizations to leverage the economic and productivity benefits of moving their network to the cloud. With growing IT complexity, rapid AI innovation and strong demand for flexible hybrid work environments, Abadata is helping to navigate this transition as efficiently, productively, cost-effectively, and profitably for their customers.

“The days of managing bulky on-premise servers have long been over,” said Dave Wineman, President at Abadata. “The maintenance costs, cybersecurity risks, obsolescence and restrictions that on-premise IT infrastructure pose is no longer a liability business owners need to tolerate. Small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and non-profits are moving to Azure because there’s no need for them to host physical servers. More than ever, organizations are searching for ways to reduce operating costs, speed up the pace of collaboration and give their team more flexibility to accomplish their work, in a way that works for their lives. While the cloud has been nascent technology in years past, we’ve now reached the point in its development where it’s simply a superior technology and we foresee it enveloping on-premise servers.”

By moving to Azure, organizations no longer need to invest in physical servers, expensive leases or security efforts to secure them. This translates into significant cost savings and opens the door to a more agile IT environment. Additionally, Azure eliminates the problem of scattered data, enabling seamless collaboration across tools which integrate with everything that staff are already familiar with. While cost-efficiency and collaboration are most obvious explanations for why so many organizations are switching to Azure, the most significant reason is because of how it bolsters cybersecurity. Everyone can now leverage all the resources that Microsoft is pouring into cybersecurity. In fact, Microsoft has committed to invest $5 billion and also employs over 5,000 security professionals who are constantly figuring out ways to improve cybersecurity for every user. Since Microsoft has more resources and expertise at their disposal, organizations can expect to enjoy superior uptime and reliability which will far exceed any individual business’s capacity to deliver.

The shift to Azure aligns with key organizational objectives —like reducing large capital expenditures, improving collaboration and building a flexible infrastructure. Stein also added, “When customers realize they’re already paying for Microsoft 365 licensing and can access premium tools without the burden of maintaining hardware, the choice becomes clear.”

Their team is dedicated to guiding organizations through their transition to the cloud, ensuring a smooth process that prioritizes uptime, data security, and business continuity. Their focus is on simplifying networks, minimizing customer responsibilities, and equipping business owners with IT systems that can grow without constraints.

“With Azure, organizations aren’t just upgrading their IT infrastructure; they’re future proofing it,” said Wineman. “We’re excited to help unlock the power of the cloud, enabling all to achieve more with less.”

MICHIGAN – January 17, 2025 – Abadata Computer Corp., a leading managed technology services provider (MTSP), has introduced a strategic technology budget and roadmap (SBR) process designed to help small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) maximize their utilization of technology, reduce operational costs, enhance profitability, and stay ahead of their competition. With a forward-thinking approach, Abadata is revolutionizing how businesses align technology with their goals.

“Businesses often find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to managing their technology investments,” said Dave Wineman, President at Abadata. “Most managed IT companies are focused on servicing whatever breaks, and they overlook the broader picture of their client’s long term IT infrastructure. Clients don’t just need to optimize single solutions, they need a partner who can weave together a comprehensive picture, deliver strategic insights and give them a technology roadmap that will help them scale as efficiently and profitably, as possible.”

While many IT companies promise good service and reliable support, Abadata is setting itself apart by delivering measurable results and straightforward technology plans that empower clients to enter technology conversations from an informed position. Through systematic Strategic Business Reviews (SBRs), Abadata ensures customers receive regular updates on:

• Service Performance and Risk Assessments: Reviewing system efficiency and addressing vulnerabilities before they escalate.

• Technology Alignment: Ensuring businesses meet minimum standards and avoid costly, inefficient infrastructure.

• Cost and Budget Analysis: Identifying areas where customers can save on technology expenses and reinvest those savings back into their business.

A key differentiator of Abadata’s process is the technology roadmap created for each client. This roadmap provides a clear path for future upgrades, highlights cost-saving opportunities and ensures every piece of technology (not just the technology which Abadata provides) aligns with the company’s overall strategy. By identifying risks, planning for growth, and introducing new solutions, Abadata empowers businesses to plan ahead rather than reacting to problems, which can be costly, cause cash flow issues or unnecessary downtime.

"Businesses shouldn’t be blindsided by unexpected technology costs or inefficiencies,” added Wineman. “Through our SBRs and roadmaps, we provide transparency and help our clients remain on track with their goals.”

Through Abadata’s Customer Advocate process, businesses have uncovered substantial savings and efficiency gains, such as:

• Eliminating outdated systems that are draining budgets.

• Cutting redundant tools like standalone conferencing apps when businesses already pay for Microsoft 365.

By analyzing clients’ full technology budget—across infrastructure, internet service providers, VoIP systems, cybersecurity insurance, and more—Abadata regularly uncovers cost savings which SMBs can use to reinvest back into their business so they can thrive. This approach ensures IT solutions are not just operational expenses but tools that drive profitability.

Abadata’s commitment to its clients goes far beyond technology solutions. By partnering as trusted advisors, the company focuses on helping businesses improve their operations, profitability, and competitiveness. Through proactive planning, regular communication, and measurable outcomes, Abadata continues to redefine what it means to be a be a strategic technology partner.
