INTENTION
We know these cloud services. This is all we do.
Why would you work in the business when you can work on the business?
We are project-and retainer-based cloud consulting firm.
If there is one thing that has helped Iron Cove grow, it is the utilization of online email platform adoption and training. Low-cost email hosting on the most trusted platform for businesses, including Office 365, Amazon WorkMail and G Suite, maintains your communication with clients without compromising functionality.
It’s our experience that organizations implement cloud services but tend not to take the next step: preventing unauthorized distribution of company-owned information. With most of our cloud services, you can reduce this risk by tracking when and how your end users access data. Whether it sits on-premises or in the cloud, we can help implement security controls based on your needs.
In your office, is the term “shared drive” synonymous with “file server” or “NAS drive”? Wish you could work hand-in-hand with team members outside of your organization on the same presentation? Tired of having to maintain the hardware your file library sits on? We proudly partner with Dropbox and Amazon Web Services to migrate these environments to the cloud With data growing rapidly, why not make the switch to a fully accessible environment today?
We specialize in the migration of on-premises and cloud email services to Microsoft Exchange online platform and Office 365 for business. Our approach involves a review of the current environment, discussions of best practices for migration and critical planning to ensure that when ready, email continuity and delivery is not impacted. With more than 500+ successful migrations ranging from SMB to Enterprise, Iron Cove Solutions can provide the consultation you need.
We provide structured training classes for the projects we recommend. Ask us about how we can train groups of 5 to 25 people. We can film training sessions and enable you to stream them in-house. Our ability to be flexible is your ability to meet your needs.
Skype for business is more than an Instant Messaging client loaded onto your device, it can now perform the same features as a traditional office phone. With the new introduction of Cloud PBX and Skype Conferencing workers will no longer be restricted to the number of conference rooms available. Instead each worker can host their own conference line with an unique conference key unique to them. Features like ad-hoc conferencing, Voice-Mail-to-Email and transferring calls have never been easier.
With the continually growing need to grant and receive access, managing login accounts can become difficult for any organization, despite its size and resources. Iron Cove Solutions aids in the implementation of Okta SSO services, which connect your users to their cloud applications via Single Sign-on. SSO ensures end users have the best of both worlds: simplicity and security.
Okta not only grants access but enables your organization’s IT department to control how users store their logins. With Password Management, users no longer need to share their password with a team member, and IT can bypass the tedious task of password maintenance when a user leaves.
Iron Cove also ensures you utilize the most secure platform we operate by integrating Universal Directory. UD is the built-in platform that enables you to manage logon for all cloud applications through specified syntax that can modify a user’s Active Directory (AD) attributes without affecting the source, or handle the attribute transformation on an app-by-app case. Our engineers are certified and more than ready to resolve any configuration needs you encounter.
Iron Cove not only specializes in password management but also identity management for cloud-based apps. Identifying who your users are and controlling where they log in presents a challenge also known as shadow IT, the unauthorized use of applications not under IT’s control. IM is key to ensuring company-owned resources and verified users can securely navigate and operate without the concern becoming a point of failure through unrestricted accessibility. ICS can design the perfect plan to ensure your organization is deployed with company-approved applications only, while restricting unwanted apps.
As an added layer of security, ICS also implements Okta’s Multi-Factor Authentication controls on organization-owned devices. Alerts can be configured to require approval before receiving application access or reject it if it appears suspicious. See an attempted login to QuickBooks at 3 a.m. from an IP address in a foreign country? Blocked. Enabling users to self-manage access through MFA is a huge win-win for your team and one less burden for IT.
Iron Cove recognizes the increasing need for bring-your-own-devices (BYOD) environments. In order to facilitate the request of end users, organizations may loosen controls on how to secure these devices. However, this practice presents a growing threat to data loss and malicious access. We utilize Okta to lock down these devices and enroll only those that administration deems acceptable. With flexibility in requirements, you no longer need to compromise management again.
As with any service, things can break or stop working. We, however, believe that if you don’t know how to verify why it’s malfunctioning, then why spend hours troubleshooting how to fix it? Get the return on your investment by ensuring that certified experts are an email away for help. ICS provides cloud-based support for all services we consult on, with pricing based on the support you need and use.
M&As are both exciting and daunting. Ensuring that data, access and services continue to operate while preparing multiple environments can present a challenge for growing organizations. Our goal is to provide you with a customized migration plan and the guidance to ensure that your organization utilizes cloud-synchronization services such as AD Connect or AWS replication services. We’ve coached multi-forest, multi-tenant organizations and, to date, are the preferred consultant for our partners and vendors.
We get it: Why fix what isn’t broken? Adopting a new platform can be daunting, especially if this is a first for your team. At Iron Cove Solutions, we provide a custom migration and adoption plan to help your team understand the changes, and certify that tasks are completed and tracked. With personalized project planning, we’ve made it much easier to maintain up-to-date information on your project tasks so that team members and project teams collaborate fluidly.
We help by increasing the utilization of your current tools (Active Directory) to cloud services. Become more efficient by combining those current tools with new cloud services. This prioritizing decreases any risk that can lead to a breach. The provisioning of users and user access who require multi-factor authentication can start — and end — with Active Directory.
We understand buying cloud services can be complicated — comparison price shopping, researching the best terms for your business, etc. We get this! However, if you are using multiple cloud services, wouldn’t it make sense to combine them into one bill? Are you tired of the monthly bill and would rather have an annual invoice? Or vice versa? Buying can be complicated; we uncomplicate!
