Switching IT providers can feel daunting. Will it disrupt your business? Will you lose data? Is it worth the hassle?
The good news: moving to a better IT provider is much easier than you think—especially when you choose one that takes care of everything for you. If you’re unhappy with your current IT support but worried about making a change, here’s what you need to know.
Why do businesses stick with bad IT support?
Many businesses stay with an IT provider that doesn’t truly support them—whether it’s slow response times, poor communication, or a lack of proactive security.
Why? Because they assume switching will be complicated, risky, and time-consuming. But the reality is, sticking with bad IT support is often far worse than making the change. Poor IT can lead to security gaps, lost productivity, and constant frustration for your team.
Is switching IT providers difficult?
A lot of businesses believe changing IT support means:
❌ Weeks of downtime
❌ Lost files, emails, or access to key systems
❌ A frustrating back-and-forth trying to get critical information
But when done right, most businesses experience zero downtime during a switch. At Cloud & More, we handle everything in the background, working directly with your old provider (so you don’t have to) and ensuring every system, login, and file is transferred securely.
✅ A structured transition plan – No scrambling for passwords or lost data.
✅ Minimal disruption – Your business keeps running smoothly while we handle the switch.
✅ A provider that does the heavy lifting – We manage the entire process for you.
Do you have to sign a long-term contract?
Many IT providers lock businesses into long-term renewal contracts, making it difficult to leave—even if you’re unhappy with the service.
That’s not how we do things.
At Cloud & More, we don’t tie you into long-term contracts. Our clients stay because they want to, not because they have to. If your current IT provider relies on locking you in, it might be time to ask why.
(For more on why we don’t do renewal contracts, check out our blog on IT contract renewals.)
What makes switching IT support easy?
If you’re considering a move, look for an IT provider that:
🔹 Has a clear exit strategy – They’ll liaise with your old provider and retrieve all critical information.
🔹 Manages the transition for you – No technical headaches for your team.
🔹 Communicates every step – So you always know what’s happening and when.
🔹 Prioritises security – Protecting your data throughout the process.
