See how proactive cloud management improves efficiency, control, and confidence.

Thriveon truly focuses on the customer service side of the business. They impress us often with their support. And Thriveon is the first IT company that we found would prevent problems before they happen, rather than react to them after they happened.

I have to say that in the course of our relationship, I have always felt that we were in good hands. I sensed a competency and a capacity we hadn’t had before from the get-go.

Thriveon has provided the strategic planning and foresight that had been lacking in our IT environment. Our IT investments have transformed from reactive to proactive, putting us on the right track to improve our infrastructure, reduce our downtime and plan for future improvements. They’ve been an invaluable business partner and resource.

Liza Kukla

Controller, Schell's

Thriveon has been an outstanding business alliance for our company. At certain times, we are high maintenance. It is wonderful to know that no matter what our demand, they are always there to help. In our industry, managing data and compliance are the cornerstone to ensuring privacy for our clients. Their reliability and dedication to network management lets us know we are protected. This has led to not only improvements in productivity but also peace of mind.

Dale Carlson

Managing Partner, Carlson Highland

Thriveon is one of the best things that happened to us this year. We started out retaining their services to obtain a more reliable and effective data backup solution, but their services to us evolved into a partnership where they are providing not only backup, but also disaster recovery, enhanced security, regular system and hardware monitoring and maintenance, and day-to-day speedy, reliable, professional and knowledgeable support services for all our IT needs (which Thriveon offers through their unlimited support program). Thriveon encourages support requests from all our staff members, for all of our IT questions, big or small, including questions regarding Microsoft Office and our other applications and software programs. Their engineers are friendly and really approachable.

Thriveon has been working with us and guiding us along the way…We enjoy having more than a client-vendor relationship. We view it as a partnership. We rely on Thriveon heavily, and they’ve always been there for us. Their support for us has been unwavering.

Managed Cloud Services Built Around Outcomes

Strategic cloud operations and optimization

Cloud Strategy

Roadmaps tied to business

Cloud decisions should start with business priorities, not tool preferences. Thriveon evaluates current infrastructure, applications, security needs, licensing, and growth plans to create a practical cloud roadmap.

Your leadership team gets clear recommendations, annual budgeting, risk visibility, and sequencing for cloud initiatives, so projects support measurable outcomes instead of adding complexity.

Microsoft 365

Collaboration without friction

Microsoft 365 can improve collaboration, but only when it is configured, secured, and adopted with intention. Thriveon helps optimize Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, identity, access, and endpoint policies so employees can work more efficiently.

Modern workplace strategies have helped clients save over 250 hours and $800 per computer user annually by reducing friction, improving workflows, and eliminating unnecessary server dependencies.

Azure Management

Scalable cloud operations

Azure environments require planning around performance, security, cost, backup, and long-term support. Thriveon designs and manages Azure implementations with documented scopes, success metrics, and senior-level project management.

Cloud infrastructure is aligned to business operations, then monitored and maintained through proactive standards so resources stay reliable, right-sized, and ready to support growth.

Cloud Security

Protection built into cloud

Cloud security works best as a layered operating discipline. Thriveon helps reduce risk with MFA, encryption, access controls, vulnerability management, endpoint detection, SIEM visibility, and 24×7 Security Operations Center monitoring.

For regulated organizations, controls can be aligned to frameworks such as NIST, CMMC, SOC II, HIPAA, and ISO 27001, with documentation that supports audit readiness.

Backup and Recovery

Recovery planning with clarity

Cloud resilience depends on more than storage. Thriveon helps build backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans that define what needs protection, how recovery should work, and where gaps exist.

Plans are documented, reviewed, and aligned with operational priorities so leadership can make informed decisions about risk, recovery expectations, data protection, and business continuity investments.

Cost Governance

Control cloud cost and waste

Cloud spend can grow quickly when licensing, vendors, and subscriptions are not actively managed. Thriveon reviews technology spend, eliminates duplication, evaluates solutions by ROI, and builds predictable budgets with Fractional CIO oversight.

Many clients reduce IT costs by up to 20%, and documented vendor management has produced examples such as $84,000 in annual software savings.

Cloud Management That Supports Business Performance

Managed cloud should do more than move servers or files. It should create a more reliable, secure, and scalable operating environment that supports how your people work every day.

Thriveon connects cloud strategy to business priorities through Fractional CIO leadership, proactive IT management, cybersecurity, and documented roadmaps. That means cloud decisions are evaluated for cost, risk, performance, user experience, and long-term value before projects begin.

From Microsoft 365 and OneDrive enablement to Azure implementation, backup planning, vendor coordination, and lifecycle management, your cloud environment is managed as a business system, not a collection of disconnected tools.

A Standards-Based Approach to Cloud Operations

Cloud complexity often comes from unclear ownership, duplicated licensing, inconsistent security controls, and applications that were never aligned to a larger plan. Thriveon brings structure to that environment through audits, documentation, standards, and executive-level guidance.

Cloud roadmaps tied to business goals, budgets, and growth plans
Microsoft 365, OneDrive, and collaboration environments configured for productivity
Azure implementations planned with security, performance, and scalability in mind
Backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning for operational resilience
Vendor and licensing oversight to reduce waste and simplify accountability

Prevent Cloud Problems Before They Disrupt Work

A successful cloud environment is never static. It needs monitoring, optimization, patching, access control, documentation, and ongoing leadership so it continues to fit the business as needs change.

Thriveon applies proactive audits across environments such as Microsoft 365, identity systems, endpoints, firewalls, servers, and wireless infrastructure to identify gaps before they turn into disruption. Recommendations are organized into practical next steps, so leadership can prioritize what matters most.

The result is a cloud model built for fewer recurring issues, stronger cybersecurity readiness, clearer budgets, and better visibility into how technology supports productivity.
