Benefits of IT Support – Even If You’re Already In the Cloud

Many businesses view their cloud migration as the finish line — a major milestone marking the end of IT support headaches and infrastructure challenges. While moving to the cloud does bring tremendous benefits like scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency, the work isn’t done. Cloud platforms still require active management, optimization, and security oversight.

This is also true for businesses leveraging Microsoft 365 as their core cloud platform.

In fact, organizations that have migrated to the cloud often stand to gain more from ongoing IT support services. Without dedicated cloud management, businesses risk underutilizing key features, paying for more features or licenses than they are using, or exposing themselves to security threats.

Ongoing IT support ensures your Microsoft 365 environment isn’t simply operational — it’s optimized, secure, and aligned with your business goals. In this blog, we discuss 5 key benefits for utilizing ongoing IT support, even when you’ve already migrated to the cloud.

1. Proactive Security & Monitoring

Cyber threats are evolving daily, and Microsoft 365 tenants are popular targets for phishing, spoofing, and attempted account breaches. A trusted IT support provider like Regroove continuously monitors your environment for suspicious activity and enforces security best practices.

This includes:

• Advanced threat protection configuration
• Conditional access policies
• Data loss prevention (DLP) setup
• Identity and access management
• Ongoing security posture reviews

2. Support for Users

End users are the heart of your Microsoft 365 ecosystem — but they’re also the most common source of support requests. Many small and medium-sized businesses operate with very small IT departments, if they even have one. These user support requests can lead to delays or added additional work to teams that are already at capacity. Regroove provides responsive helpdesk services for common issues like:

• Password resets
• MFA setup and troubleshooting
• Licensing adjustments
• Teams or SharePoint access problems
• Device and user onboarding/offboarding

Fast, friendly support reduces downtime and keeps your staff focused on their work — not IT troubleshooting.

3. Maximizing Your Financial Investment

Microsoft 365 licensing can be complex and constantly evolving. Are you paying for unused licenses? Are you leveraging the right licensing tiers for your needs? Did you know that nonprofits receive huge discounts and can get some Microsoft licenses for free?

Ongoing IT support helps audit your license usage, recommend cost-saving adjustments, and ensure you’re getting the most value from your investment.

4. Backups & Disaster Planning

Did you know Microsoft operates on a shared responsibility model? While Microsoft ensures the infrastructure is reliable, you are responsible for your data.

IT support providers implement additional backup solutions, archiving, and disaster recovery strategies to protect your critical business data — well beyond the default capabilities of Microsoft 365.

5. Strategic Guidance & Planning

Cloud platforms evolve quickly. New features, integrations, and security requirements are rolled out frequently. Your business objectives change over time and your technology should be responsive to those changes.

A trusted IT services partner like helps you stay ahead of the curve, providing:

• Technology roadmaps
• Adoption strategies
• Employee training plans
• Governance frameworks
• Integration of new tools (Power BI, Power Automate, Viva, Copilot AI, etc.)

Importantly, we also help you determine what is not necessary to ensure your business is adequately protected and optimized.

Cloud Doesn’t Mean DIY

Cloud solutions like Microsoft 365 empower businesses to do more — but without expert guidance, they can also become overwhelming or underutilized.

Ongoing IT support gives you peace of mind that your cloud environment is secure, optimized, and aligned with your business objectives — freeing up your internal teams to focus on innovation, growth, and achieving your business objectives.
