Boston Businesses & The Cloud: Technology Can Feel Local Again

October 8, 2025 10:56 am

For many Massachusetts/Boston-area business owners, the concept of “the cloud” can sound intimidating or just completely abstract. The cloud is often presented as a distant, faceless technology, something you hand over your data to; it’s scary, and you hope for the best. But at M&H Consulting, this is not how we present or provide our managed cloud hosting services

With managed cloud hosting, we bring the benefits of modern technology down to earth (semi-pun intended) and ensure that local businesses receive solutions that feel personal, practical, and tailored to their specific needs. 

The Benefits of Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting can offer several advantages that businesses may not be aware of, including scalability, automatic updates, and enhanced disaster recovery. But the real question most businesses ask is, “Will this work for me?” That’s where our local expertise makes the difference. 

Our team will take the time to learn about your operations before recommending any path forward. Instead of offering cookie-cutter/out-of-the-box solutions, we present options tailored to the needs of your company. It’s something we’re very passionate about and proud of; it’s truly one of the biggest distinctions between us and a multinational provider. 

A CPA Firm In Need

Take CPA firms as an example. These firms often juggle multiple QuickBooks files for dozens/hundreds/thousands of clients. Without the right system, they face endless frustration with conflicting software versions, manual updates, and clunky file management. We’ve helped firms transition to hosted QuickBooks solutions that automatically update to the latest version, ensuring compatibility across the board. 

For other firms, however, hosting in the cloud didn’t make sense. In those cases, we walked them through a cost comparison of hosting themselves versus adopting cloud services so that they could make the right choice for their size and budget.

Compliance, Security, and Local Support

Cloud adoption also requires businesses to consider compliance and security. Regulations such as HIPAA and the Massachusetts Data Security Law have requirements for how information must be stored and protected. Many business owners don’t have the time to keep up with these details or understand the ever-evolving parameters, which is where we step in. 

We help ensure migrations aren’t just smooth, but also compliant and secure.

Managed Cloud Hosting – M&H Is Local!

What makes our approach different is that we don’t just set up the system and walk away. We provide ongoing support, education, and a local presence you can count on. That means when you pick up the phone, you’re not reaching a call center across the country, you’re speaking with a Boston-area partner who understands your business environment!

The cloud doesn’t have to feel far away. With M&H Consulting, we help IT work for businesses by combining advanced hosting solutions with the kind of personalized IT support only a local partner can deliver.
