When moving email, files, or line-of-business apps to the cloud makes sense—and how to reduce risk.

Key takeaways

Deeper dive

Start with email and shared files: moving to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace gives predictable backups and easier offboarding when staff leave. Next, consider line-of-business apps—avoid big-bang cutovers; pilot one department, measure support tickets, then expand.

Latency to European cloud regions is usually acceptable for Kenyan SMEs, but test critical apps during peak hours. Document admin accounts, disable legacy protocols, and enable multi-factor authentication before you migrate.
