From Complexity to Simplicity: Empowering SMEs with Hybrid File Management

By -


In the evolving world of Managed IT Services, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often find themselves caught between the need for scalable, secure file sharing and the complexities of full cloud migration. The need is clear—seamless access to large files, enhanced security, and hybrid flexibility, without overhauling existing infrastructure. That’s where CentreStack steps in.

The Challenge

One Managed IT provider, based in Canada, faced the all-too-common dilemma: how to provide secure, efficient access to large architectural and engineering files while avoiding the cost and latency issues of full cloud solutions like SharePoint and OneDrive. Their clients needed better collaboration, remote access, and file security—especially across hybrid office environments—without sacrificing the performance of on-premise systems.
