Move to the cloud without the mess

Most businesses don't need convincing about the cloud — they need someone to untangle it. Half-migrated email, licences nobody remembers buying, a phone system stuck in 2015. NimbleNest plans, migrates and manages the lot: Microsoft 365, Azure, VoIP and licensing, all under one fixed monthly price per user.

We're Microsoft 365 & Azure specialists supporting 200+ businesses across Manchester, the North West and the rest of the UK. Migrations run in stages so your team keeps working, and once you're live, a real person answers in under 15 minutes when you need help. Call 0161 000 0000 to talk it through.

What's included in our cloud services

From Microsoft 365 migration to phone systems and licence management, one team runs it all.

Microsoft 365

Set-up, migration and day-to-day management of Teams, SharePoint, Exchange and OneDrive. Configured properly, secured by default and supported in plain English.

Microsoft Azure

Design, hosting and management of Azure servers and desktops. Scale up for busy months, scale down when quiet — pay only for what you use.

Cloud migration

A staged Microsoft 365 migration plan, weekend switchovers and full data checks. Most moves finish with zero downtime during working hours.

VoIP and telephony

Cloud phone systems that follow your team anywhere. Keep your numbers, cut line rental, and add or remove users in minutes.

Licence management

We audit your Microsoft licences monthly, remove unused seats and match every user to the right plan — one clear invoice, no waste.

Cloud backup and continuity

Microsoft doesn't keep your 365 data forever — we do. Daily cloud backups with tested restores, so deleted doesn't mean gone.

Why businesses move their cloud to NimbleNest

Response in under 15 minutes

Cloud problems can't wait in a ticket queue. Our average response is under 15 minutes, and a live person answers — not a bot.

30-day rolling contracts

No three-year lock-in. If we stop being useful, you can leave next month — so we earn the renewal every single month.

Fixed per-user pricing

One monthly price per user covers licences, support and management. Headcount changes? Your invoice changes with it. No surprise bills.

Security included, not sold separately

Every cloud plan ships with baseline cyber protection — email filtering, multi-factor authentication and backup — because a nest should be safe by default.

Cloud IT services for Manchester and the North West

NimbleNest provides cloud services for business customers across Manchester, the North West and the wider UK — from a first Microsoft 365 migration to full Azure environments, cloud telephony and monthly licence management. We support 200+ businesses with a 98% customer satisfaction score and a 4.9-star average rating, all on 30-day rolling contracts with fixed per-user pricing.

Cloud platforms still need people behind them. Our managed IT support service sits underneath everything we build in the cloud: a plain-English helpdesk, around-the-clock monitoring, and on-site visits when remote isn't enough. One team, one invoice, and an average response under 15 minutes when something needs fixing.

Moving to the cloud also changes your security picture, which is why every migration includes Cyber Essentials aligned onboarding as standard. For threat protection, email security, staff training and backup beyond that baseline, our cyber security service picks up where the migration ends — so the nest stays safe long after moving day.

How your cloud migration works

Audit and plan

We start with your free IT health check: a 30-minute, no-obligation review of your current set-up, licences and phone bills. You get a written migration plan and a fixed quote.

Migrate in stages

Your data syncs in the background while the team keeps working. The switchover runs out of hours, every mailbox and file is verified, and your old system stays live until you sign it off.

Support and improve

After go-live, you're on the 15-minute response promise. We review your licences monthly, tune performance, and hold quarterly strategy reviews so your cloud keeps pace with your plans.

Cloud services questions, answered

How long does a Microsoft 365 migration take?
Most small business Microsoft 365 migrations take two to four weeks from sign-off. Planning and data syncing happen in the background while you work as normal, and the final switchover usually runs over a weekend. NimbleNest verifies every mailbox and file before go-live, so Monday morning starts with the same emails, files and passwords in the new system.
Will we lose emails or files during a cloud migration?
No — a properly staged migration copies your data first and switches over second. NimbleNest syncs mailboxes, files and calendars to Microsoft 365 while your old system keeps running, then checks item counts match before the cutover. Your old data stays untouched until you confirm everything has arrived, so nothing is deleted until you're happy.
What do cloud services for business cost?
Cloud services for business are usually priced per user, per month: a Microsoft licence cost plus a management fee. NimbleNest combines both into one fixed monthly price on a 30-day rolling contract, so you always know what next month's invoice says. The exact figure depends on which Microsoft 365 plans and add-ons your team needs — a free IT health check gives you a precise quote.
Should my business use Microsoft 365 or Azure?
Microsoft 365 covers your everyday tools — email, Teams, Word, Excel and file storage — and suits almost every small business. Azure hosts the bigger things: servers, databases, remote desktops and line-of-business applications. Many businesses use both: 365 for daily work, Azure to replace ageing office servers. NimbleNest supports either and will tell you plainly if you don't need one.
Do you supply VoIP phone systems?
Yes. NimbleNest supplies and manages cloud VoIP phone systems that run over your internet connection, so calls follow your team to any office, home or mobile. You keep your existing numbers, drop the line rental, and add or remove users in minutes rather than weeks. Handsets, softphones and Microsoft Teams calling are all covered by the same fixed monthly pricing.
Can you reduce our Microsoft licensing costs?
Usually, yes. Most businesses pay for licences nobody uses — former staff, duplicate accounts, or premium plans on basic-use accounts. NimbleNest audits your Microsoft licensing as part of the free IT health check, then reviews it every month so waste never creeps back. You get one clear invoice covering licences and support, with no mid-contract surprises.
