Your digital workspace, managed and optimised.

Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administration, cloud infrastructure, and system integration.

The short answer

Cloud & system administration is the ongoing management of an Australian SME’s cloud platforms — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and connected business systems — including user identities and access, security configuration, licence optimisation, data backup and system integration. At Valont it is one function of a connected back office, delivered inside the operations service so your cloud environment is governed under one accountable Trusted Advisor and one shared data layer.

The Reality

Cloud platforms run themselves --- mostly.

Your team uses Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace every day. Email, files, calendars, collaboration. It all works. But who's actually managing it? Who's setting up new users correctly, enforcing security policies, managing licences, and ensuring your data is backed up?

In most SMEs, the answer is nobody is managing it properly. The configuration is a mix of default settings and ad-hoc changes accumulated over years. Unused licences are still being paid for. Security gaps are invisible until they're exploited.

Unmanaged cloud costs you:

  • Unnecessary licence costs from unused and duplicate subscriptions
  • Security vulnerabilities from default configurations
  • Uncontrolled access to sensitive data
  • No backup protection beyond provider defaults
  • Manual data entry between disconnected systems

The Process

From audit to integration in weeks.

01

Audit cloud environment

We review your current cloud setup: user accounts, licence allocation, security settings, integrations, and backup status. You get a clear picture of your cloud health.

02

Implement quick wins

Security gaps, unused licences, and misconfigured permissions are fixed immediately. Cost savings often become visible within 30 days.

03

Establish governance framework

Structured administration processes are put in place for ongoing user management, licence tracking, security monitoring, and compliance.

04

Implement integrations

System integration opportunities are identified and implemented progressively. Data flows between systems automatically, not manually.
