Cloud & communications: frequently asked questions
Practical answers to the questions businesses often ask when reviewing cloud platforms, Microsoft 365 and phone systems.
Can we move to the cloud without disrupting our business?
A carefully planned migration can reduce disruption, but the approach depends on your existing systems, internet connectivity, security requirements and working hours. Ask prospective providers about discovery, testing, a staged changeover, staff training and rollback arrangements.
How do we compare Microsoft 365 providers?
Look beyond the licence price. Check who will manage the setup and migration, how accounts and data are secured, what ongoing helpdesk support is included, and who is responsible for backups and recovery. We can help you compare the scope and responsibilities in supplier proposals.
Will a cloud phone system work with our existing numbers?
Number transfer is often possible, subject to provider and contract checks. Before switching, confirm the number-porting plan, call handling features, handset or headset needs, internet resilience and what happens to calls during an outage.
Can we compare more than one cloud or communications supplier?
Yes. Supplier Synergy helps businesses identify and compare suitable third-party providers. We focus on the practical differences between service levels, contracts, implementation responsibilities and support, so you can make an informed choice.
Does Supplier Synergy charge for matching us with a provider?
There is no additional consultancy fee for our supplier-matching service. Our service is supplier-funded. Your chosen third-party provider will set out any product, installation, licensing or ongoing service charges in its own proposal and contract.
