INC. Business Matchmakers · Personal introductions
Cloud and IT management with clear responsibilities.
INC. Business Matchmakers discusses what you need and explores which personal introduction through our network could fit. You and the specialist then agree directly on the work to be carried out.
Your IT brief should explain what must keep working and who depends on it. INC. helps make those priorities concrete before exploring a personal introduction to suitable cloud or IT management expertise.
Identify the services your business relies on
List applications, data, devices and providers, including any systems only one colleague understands. Describe the business impact of an interruption and the periods when access matters most. Ask the specialist to identify dependencies and information gaps before proposing a migration or management arrangement.
Make shared responsibilities explicit
Moving a service to the cloud does not remove every task from your organisation. Discuss who manages accounts, configuration, updates, backups and recovery. Ask how responsibilities are divided between your business, the IT provider and any underlying cloud service, including how incidents are reported and coordinated.
Plan continuity and a possible change of provider
Ask for understandable service arrangements, restoration testing and documentation your business can access. Discuss data export, administrator access and handover if the relationship ends. INC. prepares the introduction; assessment, migration and ongoing management are agreed directly with the provider against your actual operational priorities.
Frequently asked questions
Must everything move to the cloud?
No. Describe the existing environment and its limitations. Ask for a comparison that considers dependencies, working practices, management effort and the cost of change.
Is a backup the same as recovery?
Ask the provider to demonstrate how required information and services would be restored. The recovery process and responsibilities need attention as well as backup creation.
What should a support proposal explain?
Who receives requests, how urgency is assessed, what is covered and how additional work is approved. Ensure the scope is understandable to your team.
