Cloud strategy
Connect business goals to workloads, dependencies, access, security, and the operating model behind a cloud move.
04 / Cloud & continuity
Cloud services with a clearer operating plan.
Choose cloud, backup, and recovery services around the applications your business runs and the continuity your team actually needs.
Cloud is not the destination. It is a way to make the work more accessible, resilient, and manageable.
01 / Overview
Put the workload before the platform.
Cloud decisions get complicated when every workload is treated the same. Files, line-of-business applications, backups, virtual servers, collaboration tools, and recovery plans each have different needs.
We help you map what you use today, compare public, private, hosted, and hybrid paths, and make the operational details visible. The result is a cloud plan that can be supported by the people responsible for it.
02 / What we help with
The useful details behind the decision.
We help connect the service to the users, locations, applications, and support model that make it work in practice.
Public and private cloud
Compare environments based on control, flexibility, performance, support, and the work each platform needs from your team.
Hosted infrastructure
Consider managed servers, virtual machines, and hosted applications when you want infrastructure without every operational task in-house.
Data backup
Review what is protected, how often it is captured, where it is stored, and how recovery would actually work.
Disaster recovery
Set practical recovery priorities for applications, systems, people, and locations before an interruption makes the decisions for you.
Cloud connectivity
Make sure the network, identity, security, and user experience can support the cloud services your team depends on.
Migration planning
Sequence workloads, dependencies, testing, training, and cutover steps around business tolerance for change.
Ongoing optimization
Keep usage, access, performance, support, and spend aligned as applications and teams evolve.
03 / Who it’s for
Built around the business behind the system.
The right design changes with the work. Here are a few of the local businesses and operating models we help think through.
Restaurants
Support point-of-sale, scheduling, inventory, shared files, and continuity for locations that cannot pause during service.
Banks and financial teams
Plan resilient access to financial applications, records, collaboration, backup, and branch-dependent workflows.
Hotels
Coordinate reservations, property systems, guest services, staff access, and recovery across a busy operation.
Healthcare
Keep patient workflows, scheduling, records, communications, and backup aligned with privacy and availability needs.
Retail
Connect inventory, payments, e-commerce, reporting, and store operations to cloud services that can grow with the business.
Construction
Give field and office teams consistent access to project files, scheduling, estimating, and collaboration tools.
Accounting firms
Support cloud accounting, client portals, document management, secure access, and recovery for sensitive work.
Multi-site operations
Create a consistent approach to applications, backup, access, and continuity across distributed locations.
04 / How we work
A simpler path through a complicated choice.
Good advice starts with context and stays useful through the handoff.
Understand
We listen before we prescribe.We map your current setup, friction points, users, locations, and priorities so the recommendation starts with the real business.
Compare
We make the tradeoffs visible.We evaluate providers and paths side by side, then explain fit, assumptions, service terms, and the work required to move forward.
Support
We stay for the handoff.From implementation through ongoing optimization, we help keep the moving parts connected and accountable.
05 / The Salish point of view
A cloud plan people can operate.
We are vendor-neutral and keep the recommendation tied to workloads, people, risk, and continuity. In many cases, providers compensate us when you choose a service. We do not promise savings or a one-size-fits-all migration; we explain scope and any fees before work begins.

06 / Questions, answered
Useful answers before the first conversation.
Direct answers are a better starting point than a generic feature list.
Bring us your questionWhat do cloud services include?
Cloud services can include hosted applications, public or private cloud infrastructure, file and collaboration platforms, backup, disaster recovery, security, and managed support. The right mix depends on your workloads and operating model.
Should my business move everything to the cloud?
No. Some workloads are a good cloud fit, while others may remain on-premises or use a hybrid approach. We compare the options around performance, access, security, support, and continuity.
How do cloud backup and disaster recovery differ?
Backup creates recoverable copies of data or systems. Disaster recovery defines how important workloads, people, and dependencies are restored after a serious interruption. A useful continuity plan considers both.
Can cloud services support multiple business locations?
Yes. Cloud services can give distributed teams a common path to applications and files, but the network, identity, security, and support model still need to be designed around each location.
How do we know if a cloud migration is ready?
A migration is more ready when applications, dependencies, data, access, ownership, testing, and recovery expectations are understood. We can help turn those questions into a sequence the team can manage.
How much does help choosing cloud services cost?
In many cases, providers compensate us when you choose a service. If a project includes fees, we explain the scope and fees before work begins. Call 360-946-2626 to discuss the workloads you are considering.
