Why pivotCloud?
With many companies working fully remote, in the office, or somewhere in the middle; IT is more important than ever. The transition to a fully remote workforce can sometimes be painful, and companies working in a hybrid environment can oftentimes feel out of sync. It can feel like your IT systems are working against you, rather than for you. However, it doesn’t need to be that way, and good quality IT can be much less expensive than it has been in the past.
Are you ready to look at IT through a new lens?
In the last few years there has been a trend in the IT industry focused around using cloud and SaaS based tools. These are great ways to collaborate with all of your employees and with other companies you work with. However, between Microsoft Office, Slack, Dropbox, Zoom and other basic office tools,the cost of all of everything can really add up. We focus on using just one suite of tools so everything works the same across all different platforms and won’t break the bank. Google Workspace is a perfect fit for any company. From startup business to some of the largest firms in the country. Workspace has a solution to replace almost all of your applications and keep everything simple and in one ecosystem. So whether your team is in the office, working from home or somewhere in between, they will feel like they’re sitting together in the same room.
According to this study, teams are more productive when using Google Workspace over Microsoft Office. And with most public schools and Universities relying on Google for their Apps and Collaboration tools, you can guarantee that your team will have a quick and easy onboarding experience, with little to no need for basic IT training.
With the packages offered at pivotCloud, we include all the tools your company needs to increase productivity, collaboration and efficiency, all while being protected from the constant growing amount of threats that are out there today. Whether you are using Macs, PCs, iOS or Android, we can help you every step of the way to getting your team up and running in the cloud in no time.

Pricing based on 12 users in our small business package over 3 years.
You can see that pivotCloud can save roughly $30,000 over three years compared to many local IT providers. There is no need for expensive servers and storage devices, and there are no special requirements for what make or model computer you have!
When working with Computer Repair shops, you never know what your support costs are going to be. They do not offer support agreements, so when you have an issue, you have no idea when the problem will be solved. Oftentimes, they do not have the level of technical capabilities to solve the problem and will require you to bring in other companies just to solve one problem.
Other Managed Service Providers can feel like a Country Club. They can be VERY expensive to “join” and once you’re in, everything you need from them is an additional cost. They have very strict requirements on which hardware and software you can use. Many times if you choose a computer or application they don’t support, you won't be able to get any help from them.
How does pivotCloud save you money?
With our Al-a-Carte style pricing, you get everything you need in one monthly cost. Your Google Workspace licenses, anti-virus, device management and help desk support are all included so there is no confusion and never any hidden fees. At pivotCloud, we pride ourselves on the simplicity of our platform, and that includes our pricing.

Our goal is to provide you with all the tools and help you need, for one easy to understand monthly price.
