Managed Services

We offer a comprehensive suite of managed services designed to minimize the risk of asset management for our customers. To that end, we provide three services to our clients: online backups, server hosting, and cloud computing through Google Apps.

Online Backups

Mickler & Associates, Inc. helps its small business customers automate the chore of daily data backups, and recover lost data in the event of a disaster. Read more about Online Backups.

Hosting

We also help small businesses through reducing the risk of asset management. We can host your servers in our secure co-lo (co-location) in Portland, Oregon. This approach physically removes the server asset and management responsibility from you and places it under our care in a managed, professional datacenter. This allows our clients to concentrate expressly on the services critical to their business under an “available anywhere, anytime” concept, instead of having to worry about security, redundancy, support, disaster recovery, and fault-tolerance. We can manage it for you!

Cloud Computing – Google Apps

We believe that the future is managed services, and Google is one of the biggest names out there catering to the small and mid-range business. Through the use of Google Apps, we can transition your company from using a Microsoft Small Business Server to using an entirely web-based solution that can be used by anyone in your organization anywhere. An Authorized Google Reseller, Mickler & Associates, Inc. is uniquely positioned to help your company make the transition to cloud computing. Want access to your information anywhere, at any time, and roughly 50-percent less expense than trying to provide that capability yourself, then we should talk! Let us show you the way to working smarter, more securely, and, at less expense. Give us a call – we’d be happy to explain the possibilities! Read more about our service offerings with Google Apps.
