ONE FIRM’S TRANSITION TO THE CLOUD
A decision to move legacy IT to the Cloud often
brings about uncertainty, choosing the right
cloud partner can make the difference between
a successful transition and a costly, worrisome,
time-consuming debacle. The process is
comprised of many interconnected details and is
best handled by cloud engineers. Their job is to
ensure that when you log on to the cloud Monday
morning that your desktop looks and feels just as
you left it Friday afternoon. The cloud providers
not only setup every staff members’ desktop,
they setup your network drives, update software,
connect your printers, and configure every
application to work just as it did on your local
network and computer before the transition.
For John Pavlovsky, Jr., CPA, who practices off the shore of the
Delaware River in Bordentown, New Jersey, he realized that
his current IT platform would not transform his practice thus
limiting his practice’s growth. In fact, his current IT platform
could not even sustain a modest growth pattern. John looked
at alternative services that could fill his immediate needs,
but few would be able to help him achieve his long-term
goals. John’s primary concern was selecting an IT platform
that is capable of growing and scaling as his practice grows,

he would certainly have to look for a new solution within
two years. John chose IVDesk because the platform met his
primary requirement for growth without compromising security
and mobility. “I believe we have made the right choice,” John
said about his decision to move his network to IVDesk.
John prepared for the worst as the
transition to the cloud began shortly
after tax season. He had been told
many horror stories from clients
and friends who transitioned
to the cloud and had nothing
but trouble. To his surprise, the
transition performed by IVDesk
went pleasantly smooth. No downtime. No major glitches. “I
was very pleased with the transition,” John remarked months
later, “It is hard to imagine how we did it in the past.”
John regularly recommends the IVDesk platform, telling
people that the move to the cloud was seamless, affordable
and most importantly increased the level of security to his
clients and their confidential data. Instead, he says that
people should look at what it will cost to get where you want
to be on your own versus working smarter on the IVDesk
platform with less security risk for my clients’ personally
identifiable information.
