Cloud Computing Services in Missouri & Illinois

Managed Microsoft 365, Cloud Migration, and Hosted Applications

Your team should be able to work from the office, from home, or from the road without missing a beat. Computerease manages Microsoft 365, hosted applications, and cloud migrations for businesses across Missouri and Illinois, so your data and applications go with your team instead of staying locked to one desk.

Computerease provides managed cloud services for businesses in Missouri and Illinois: Microsoft 365 setup and migration, Teams and SharePoint collaboration, hosted applications, and cloud security. Cloud solutions are billed at a predictable flat monthly rate instead of a large upfront hardware cost. Founded in 1984 and led today by Ryan Haislar, CISSP, Computerease supports both the migration and the ongoing management, not just the move.

What’s Included in Cloud Computing Services

  • Microsoft 365 Setup and Migration: email, calendars, contacts, and files moved to Microsoft 365 with minimal disruption to your workday.
  • Teams and SharePoint Collaboration: real-time document collaboration, shared calendars, and company intranet, set up and supported on an ongoing basis, not just installed and left.
  • Hosted Applications: your business applications hosted and accessible to your whole team from anywhere, backed by secure data centers.
  • Cloud Backup: your files and email backed up in the cloud, so a lost laptop is not a lost afternoon.
  • Web Hosting: a home for your business website, managed alongside the rest of your IT instead of as a separate vendor relationship.
  • Flat Monthly Pricing: predictable cost instead of a large upfront hardware purchase.

Why Businesses Move to the Cloud

Running your own email server or file server means you own the hardware, the maintenance, and the risk when something breaks. Moving to the cloud shifts that work to a data center built for it, while your team keeps working from any device with an internet connection.

The tradeoff businesses actually care about is simple:

  • A predictable monthly cost instead of a large upfront hardware bill
  • A team that is not tied to one office to get their work done

Copilot Readiness Starts With a Clean Microsoft 365 Environment

Microsoft Copilot works by drawing on the files, emails, and chats already sitting in your Microsoft 365 environment. If permissions are a mess, old accounts are still active, or files are scattered across personal OneDrive folders instead of shared, properly organized locations, Copilot inherits that mess and surfaces it back to your team, sometimes in the form of the wrong file to the wrong person.

A well-managed Microsoft 365 migration is not just about moving your email. It sets up the permission structure, folder organization, and account hygiene that make AI tools like Copilot actually useful instead of confusing. We build that structure in as part of the migration, not as a separate project after the fact.

Our Process

Five clear steps from your first conversation to ongoing, ongoing cloud support.

1
Free Cloud Readiness Assessment

A no-obligation review of what should move to the cloud, and what should not.

2
Plan

We build a migration plan around your business, not a one-size template.

3
Migrate

We move email, files, and applications with a structured cutover that minimizes disruption.

4
Configure and Secure

Multi-factor authentication, permissions, and security settings get configured, not left on default.

5
Support

Ongoing management and help desk support after the migration, not just at setup.

A Cloud Environment That Keeps Pace With Your Business

The Microsoft 365 setup that fits your business at 15 employees will not automatically fit it at 50, and the permissions, storage, and licensing that made sense before you opened a second office may not make sense after. Cloud environments tend to accumulate small gaps over time: an ex-employee’s account still active, a shared folder with the wrong people still in it.

We review your cloud environment on a regular basis rather than treating the migration as the finish line, so licensing, storage, and access stay matched to the business you actually have today.

What a Well-Run Cloud Environment Really Means

A cloud migration is not really about where your files live. It is about whether your team can find what they need, from wherever they are working, without waiting on a call to IT or wondering if the version they are looking at is even current.

Our goal is not just to move you to Microsoft 365. It is to set up an environment your team barely has to think about, so leadership stops hearing about email problems and starts hearing that things just work.

Areas We Serve

Computerease manages cloud environments from four regional offices across Missouri and Illinois, with a local support team and remote coverage that works the same no matter which office is closest to you. A migration gets the same structured approach whether your team is in one office or spread across several.

Our regional offices handle on-site network and hardware work tied to a migration throughout our core footprint, while our remote support covers Microsoft 365 environments for businesses with locations or staff across the country.

Outside our regional footprint, Computerease also manages Microsoft 365 environments for businesses with multiple locations and remote teams across the country, so every office works from the same cloud setup no matter where it is.

Dan was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful, hands down the easiest laptop transition I’ve had in over 20 years! I was able to work all day while he handled everything, and he also got our conference room tech running smoothly. Everything feels easier and better than our old setup, the Computerease team is really good.
