BA Consulting provides cloud services for Toronto businesses that are ready to move beyond aging on-premise servers into more flexible, secure, and manageable cloud environments. As a Microsoft-certified partner, we specialize in Microsoft 365 and Azure but we also work with the wider cloud ecosystem to design what actually fits your business.
Cloud isn’t the right answer for every workload. Part of what we do is helping Toronto businesses figure out what should move, what should stay, and what the sensible path forward looks like.
Every Cloud Service Your Toronto Business Needs Under One Roof. We deliver every layer of cloud technology your business needs. Whether you are migrating to the cloud for the first time or optimizing an existing environment, our cloud services team handles the technical complexity so you can focus on running your business.
We move Toronto businesses from on-premise Exchange, Google Workspace, or basic email hosting into properly configured Microsoft 365 environments. Email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and the security policies that hold it all together.
For business applications that need to stay on servers but shouldn't sit in your office closet, we host and manage them in Microsoft Azure with proper backup, security, and monitoring.
SharePoint and OneDrive configured the way they should be with sensible permissions, retention policies, and sharing controls. Not the "everyone has access to everything" mess most businesses accumulate.
Immutable cloud backup for your Microsoft 365 data and on-premise systems, with tested recovery so backups actually work when needed.
Multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and cloud-native security tooling because cloud environments are only as secure as their weakest login.
Migrations fail when they're rushed. We plan them properly; what moves in what order, over what timeline, with what fallback plan.
Cloud makes sense when your on-premise infrastructure is coming up on refresh, when your team is increasingly hybrid or remote, when your backup and disaster recovery need work, or when you want to spend less energy on server maintenance.
Cloud might not be the right answer if you have massive data volumes with high daily change rates, very specific latency-sensitive workloads, or you’re deep into a recent hardware investment cycle. Part of our job is telling you honestly which category you’re in.
A typical cloud migration for a Toronto SMB takes anywhere from four weeks to a few months, depending on complexity. Our approach is to move in phases rather than all at once.
We start by mapping every application, data source, and user. Then we plan a phased migration, usually starting with email and Microsoft 365, moving on to file storage, and finally to any specialty applications. Each phase is tested and verified before we move on.
Downtime during migration is typically zero for your team; we transition services in the background so people just show up to work in the new environment.

Straightforward Microsoft 365 migrations for small teams typically take a few weeks. Larger organizations with SharePoint, custom integrations, and dozens of users take longer, typically a few months. Complex environments with legacy applications can take longer still. We give a realistic timeline after assessment.
Yes, when configured properly. Microsoft 365 at the right security tier, combined with MFA, conditional access, and endpoint protection, meets PIPEDA and PHIPA requirements. Where clients need Canadian data residency, we ensure infrastructure sits in Canadian regions.
For most Canadian SMBs, Microsoft 365 wins on Office desktop applications, enterprise features, Windows integration, and compliance tooling. Google Workspace often wins for pure-web workflows and education. We help you choose based on how your team actually works.
We deliver cloud services across the entire GTA and Hamilton area. Wherever your business is in Southern Ontario, we can help.
Yes, this catches a lot of businesses off guard. Microsoft doesn't back up your Microsoft 365 data as a service; their retention policies aren't the same as backup. Third-party backup for Microsoft 365 is essential for ransomware protection and recovering from accidental deletions.
Your data belongs to you. If you ever want to leave, we export everything in standard formats and hand it over. No hostage-taking, no exit fees, no lock-in.
