Cloud and Data Center Strategy

Get Expert Cloud Guidance From an Advisor Who Works for You, Not the Provider

Choosing the right cloud or data center solution shouldn’t feel like navigating a vendor sales pitch. Especially when cloud guidance decisions impact long-term performance, cost, and scalability.

We’re independent advisors who work across every major provider. Because we’re compensated by them, our guidance costs you nothing extra.

That means every recommendation we make is driven purely by what’s right for your business.

Cloud decisions should support your operations, not complicate them.

Understanding Your Options

Cloud, Data Centers, and Hybrid Environments All Solve Different Problems

Businesses today are being pulled in multiple directions.

Cloud providers promise flexibility. Data centers offer control and performance. Most businesses need a combination of both.

The real challenge is not understanding what each option is. It is understanding how they should work together for your environment.

The right approach depends on how your systems are used, not just where they can be hosted.

How Our Model Works

Why You Are Not Limited to a Single Provider

Most cloud providers have direct sales teams whose job is to sell you their platform — whether it fits or not. We sit on the other side of that equation. As an advisor, we’re paid a referral fee by whichever provider you ultimately choose, which means:

You get independent, expert advice at no additional cost. We have no incentive to steer you toward any particular provider — our compensation is structurally the same regardless of which solution you choose. The only way we win is if you do.

We have relationships with Intelisys and Avant — two of the largest technology advisory networks in the country — giving us access to virtually every cloud, colocation, and data center provider in the market.

This gives you access to more options and better visibility into what actually fits your business.

Access to the Right Providers for Your Infrastructure

Instead of trying to figure out where everything should live, we help you make the right call for your business.

We evaluate multiple options side by side so you can see what actually fits your business based on performance, cost, and long-term flexibility.

Because we work across providers, you are not locked into a single path.

The logos above represent just a portion of the providers we work with.

We evaluate multiple options to find the right fit for your environment.

How We Engage - Our Process

A Clear Process From Evaluation to Ongoing Support

1
Discovery & workload assessment
We map your current environment — applications, data, compliance requirements, and performance needs — so we understand what actually needs to move, stay, or change.
2
Market analysis across providers
We compare relevant providers side by side — pricing, SLAs, geographic coverage, and capability fit — and present a clear recommendation with full rationale.
3
Procurement & contract negotiation
We leverage our purchasing relationships to secure enterprise-grade pricing and contract terms that wouldn’t be available to you buying direct.
4
Migration or deployment support
We project-manage the implementation, coordinate with the provider, and make sure the transition goes smoothly with minimal disruption to your business.
5
Ongoing management & advocacy
We monitor performance, manage renewals, escalate support issues on your behalf, and continuously optimize your environment as your needs evolve.

How Midwest Logic Can Help

We Help You Make Infrastructure Decisions That Fit Your Business

Infrastructure decisions are not easy to change once they are made. Choosing the wrong path can lead to unnecessary cost, performance issues, and difficult transitions later.

That is why we focus on getting it right from the start.

Let’s Evaluate Your Infrastructure Strategy

If you are unsure about your current setup or planning changes, we can help you evaluate your options and find the right fit.

No pressure. Just clear guidance and no additional cost to explore your options.

Common Questions

What Businesses Want to Know Before Getting Started

Does working with you cost more than going direct?

No. Our fees are paid by the provider you choose — the same way a real estate agent is paid by the seller, not the buyer. You get expert, independent guidance at no additional cost.

How do I know you won't just recommend whoever pays you the most?

Because our compensation rates are essentially equal across providers, there’s no financial incentive to favor one over another. Our business depends on long-term client relationships — if we steered you wrong, you’d know it at renewal.

We already have an AWS rep. Why do we need you?

Your AWS rep’s job is to grow your AWS spend. Our job is to make sure you’re on the right platform at the right price — which may be AWS, or may include other providers. We work alongside vendor reps to make sure you’re getting the best deal.

What size businesses do you work with?

We primarily serve mid-market businesses with 25–25,00 employees. We’re especially effective for companies that have outgrown their current infrastructure but aren’t large enough to have a dedicated cloud team in-house.

Do you stay involved after implementation?

Yes. We continue to support, optimize, and advocate for you as your needs evolve.
