Case Study: Migration to Azure based AD

In 2025 it is rare to have a small to medium sized business with an on-premise server. Cloud-based systems have taken over โ€” but this shift brings a common challenge: user authentication.

Traditionally, with a local Active Directory (AD) server, users could log in securely, access resources based on their permissions and work within a tightly managed, admin-free environment. Without an onsite server, businesses often lose that central control over passwords, permissions, and security policies.

At EvolvIT, we offer two reliable solutions:

  • Azure AD via Microsoft 365
    We configure Azure Active Directory using your existing Microsoft 365 licences. Devices connect to this cloud-based 'domain' just like a traditional one, allowing for centralised logins, seamless access to emails, data, and shared security policiesโ€”all managed through one account.
  • Hosted Server in Our UK Datacentre
    For clients needing more control or support for systems like SQL databases, we offer a hosted server setup in our South West datacentre. Linked via a secure site-to-site VPN, it functions just like a local serverโ€”only with added cloud benefits like redundancy and failover.

Every business has different needs. Get in touch and weโ€™ll help design the right setup for your IT systemsโ€”balancing flexibility, control, and security.

Fully managed IT security for your business

Keeping your business safe online is more important than ever. At EvolvIT, we include robust cybersecurity measures as part of every support package โ€” so you donโ€™t need to worry about hidden costs or complicated add-ons.

Security Built In from the Start

From day one, your systems are protected with industry-grade antivirus, antispam and firewall solutions. Whether your team is working locally or using cloud platforms like Microsoft 365, we make sure everything is secure and up to date.

Stay Compliant, Stay Protected

We help you meet key cybersecurity and data protection standards such as the UK GDPR and Cyber Essentials. That means safer data, fewer risks and a stronger reputation with your clients.

Trusted by Regulated Industries

With years of experience supporting legal firms, healthcare providers and financial businesses, we understand what it takes to meet strict security requirements. Our team uses proven tools and best practices to keep your business compliant and protected.

Bristol Businesses We Support

We work with businesses of all shapes and sizes across Bristol and the surrounding area. Our clients include:

  • Law firms and professional services - where data security and uptime are non-negotiable

Cloud vs On-Premise IT in 2026: What Makes Sense for SMEs Now?

For years, the conversation around IT infrastructure was oversimplified: cloud good, on-premise old-fashioned. In 2026, the reality for UK SMEs is far more nuanced.

Rising energy costs, subscription pricing models, hybrid working expectations and escalating cyber threats have reshaped the decision entirely. The question is no longer โ€œShould we move to the cloud?โ€ but rather:
