Cloud Management

Cloud boosts performance and enables you to work from anywhere. It reduces upfront and ongoing costs, allowing you to pay only for what you use. It makes it easy to scale resources and applications up or down as needed. And it helps you stay efficient, adaptable, innovative and competitive.

Mohawk help you understand the benefit, get to cloud, and manage and secure your environment.

Cloud
Applications

We work with you on the cloud applications that empower your business and ensure you remain productive from any location.

  • With Microsoft 365, users can access their documents, emails, and applications from anywhere with an internet connection. The suite supports real-time collaboration and teamwork through tools like Microsoft Teams and SharePoint.

  • SaaS (Software as a Service) applications are delivered via the internet on a subscription model, so you can pay for software as you use it. SaaS can be used for core business functions (ERP, Finance, CRM) as well as specific use cases. Applications stay current with updates provided by the application provider.

  • We make it simple for your team to access multiple cloud applications with a single sign-ons (eg Monday.com, Airtable, Xero, Jira, etc).
