Our approach

Why these partners and not others?

01

Proven in the field

Every tool has been tested in real-world conditions across dozens of SMBs before joining our stack. No proof of concept — production deployment from day one.

02

Interoperable

Fortinet + Microsoft 365 + Acronis + Synology = a coherent ecosystem. Each component communicates with the others. No silos, no grey areas.

03

Solid vendor support

When a critical incident occurs, we need the vendor to respond. Microsoft, Fortinet, Dell — their support teams are responsive and competent. That is a non-negotiable selection criterion.

Need advice on your infrastructure?

We audit your existing environment and recommend solutions tailored to your business — with no purchase obligation.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Partners & Technologies

Why does ECLAUD IT work with these specific partners?

Every partner was selected after years in the field — not on the basis of commercial agreements. Microsoft 365 because 90% of SMBs use it. Fortinet because it is the most reliable firewall we have deployed in 15 years. Dell and Synology because their failure rates are the lowest in our history. We only recommend what we use ourselves.

Is ECLAUD IT certified by these partners?

We are a Microsoft CSP (Cloud Solution Provider) partner, which allows us to manage our clients' Microsoft 365 licences directly. For Fortinet, Acronis and others, our teams are trained and certified on the products we deploy. Certification guarantees deployment in line with vendor best practices.

Can I keep my current equipment if I switch to ECLAUD IT?

Absolutely. We audit your existing infrastructure and only recommend replacement when it is justified — end of warranty, obsolescence, security risk. We also manage heterogeneous environments (mixed Dell, HP, Lenovo) without issue. Our goal is not to sell you hardware, but to make yours work.

How do you choose between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?

The key question: do your teams already use Excel intensively? If so, Microsoft 365. Google Workspace is better suited to teams that primarily collaborate on text documents and presentations. We analyse your actual usage before making a recommendation — and we migrate in both directions.

Can ECLAUD IT manage a multi-brand environment?

That is actually the norm. The majority of our clients have a heterogeneous environment: Dell and Lenovo workstations, Synology NAS, Fortinet firewall, HP printers. Our unified monitoring supervises everything from a single console, regardless of manufacturer.
