Cloud Solutions for Bay Area Businesses
Cloud Tools That Help Your Team Work Together.
PCC helps businesses plan, deploy, and manage Microsoft 365 and cloud services. From email and shared files to business applications, we focus on access, security, and a transition your team can understand.
Technology with a business purpose
Moving to the cloud should solve a business problem
Cloud services can make collaboration easier, but moving everything without a plan can create confusing file locations, unclear permissions, and unexpected costs.
PCC starts with how your business works. We help determine what belongs in the cloud, what needs to stay where it is, and what support your team will need along the way.
A practical approach
A practical plan for people, data, and access
A useful cloud solution combines the right platform with clear decisions about how it will be used and maintained.
- Understand the starting point. Review users, applications, data, and dependencies before choosing a migration path.
- Organize how people work. Define where files belong and how teams will collaborate.
- Control access. Consider identity, permissions, and device requirements alongside convenience.
- Plan for ongoing ownership. Clarify administration, backups, support, and service costs.
Where PCC can help

Shared expectations matter
Is PCC the Right Fit?
A useful engagement starts with agreement about the problem, the scope, and who will act on the next steps.
PCC may be a strong fit if your business:
- Wants to improve Microsoft 365 administration or collaboration
- Needs a planned move from existing email, files, or server workloads
- Values clear permissions, documentation, and ongoing support
- Wants cloud decisions connected to wider IT planning
This may not be the right fit if your business:
- Expects every existing application to move without compatibility review
- Assumes cloud services remove all backup or security responsibilities
- Wants a migration without allowing time for discovery and validation
- Is choosing only on the lowest subscription price

Questions, answered
Cloud Solutions FAQ
Does every business need to move everything to the cloud?
No. Application requirements, connectivity, data needs, and costs all influence the decision. A mix of cloud and on-premises services may be appropriate. We review the requirements before recommending a direction.
Can PCC help us move to Microsoft 365?
PCC supports Microsoft 365 planning and deployment. The migration scope depends on your current email platform, files, applications, users, and access requirements. We establish the approach and responsibilities before implementation.
What is the difference between SharePoint and OneDrive?
OneDrive is generally used for an individual’s work files. SharePoint provides shared locations for team and organization content. Choosing where files belong also requires decisions about ownership, permissions, and how people collaborate.
Do cloud services still need backups?
Moving data to a cloud platform does not by itself settle your recovery requirements. Built-in recovery features and retention settings need to be compared with the data, timeframes, and responsibilities your business requires.
Will a migration interrupt our work?
Some migrations require scheduled changes, user actions, or downtime. The impact depends on the systems involved. We plan and communicate the agreed work rather than promise every migration will be disruption-free.
How are cloud costs determined?
Costs may include subscriptions, usage-based infrastructure, backup services, implementation work, and ongoing management. We help identify the relevant components and clarify what is included in the proposed scope.
