Cumulus Global

Cumulus Global provides managed cloud services for businesses that want their IT to support their goals. It starts by agreeing a strategy with the client, then then fits the business with suitable cloud services built on platforms from Microsoft and Google and dozens of other vendors. The firm's position is that cloud for its own sake is not the answer, so each recommendation is tied to the client's priorities and then supported over time.

Strategy before cloud migration

Planning comes first. The firm works out the business needs and priorities that should shape the IT environment, and only then recommends the services that serve them. It co-manages IT services, supports the client's team and keeps the systems in step with changes to the business.

Email, file and server services in the cloud

Managed services cover email, communications and mobility, including Microsoft 365 and Office 365. The firm also runs cloud file, print, server and storage services, and it designs local and wide area networks. Its range of services and integrations lets it customize a solution for each environment and each set of needs.

Security, privacy and business continuity

Security work includes data protection and compliance, and the firm places business continuity and protection in the same portfolio. The aim is to keep an organization's systems and data protected and recoverable.

Guided adoption and co-managed support

After the strategy is agreed, guided planning and migration help the client adopt new cloud services and make use of them. Co-managed services and ongoing support follow, along with client success work that helps the business adapt as it changes and grows. The firm also educates and trains staff so they can use the services effectively.

Offices in Massachusetts and Georgia

The firm is headquartered in Westborough, Massachusetts, with a southeast office in Decatur, Georgia. It offers guidance and support after each project, so that the business keeps getting value from its systems once the work is complete.
