I realise its not quite the start of the year….but with 11 months and 1 week still left of 2020, I feel we (of Sol-Tec) still have time to weigh in with our thoughts and opinions of what’s hot on the horizon in the world of cloud this year.
So, I asked some of our leading cloud consultants and architects (and one Marketing Consultant – for balance!) to dust off their metaphorical crystal balls and reveal their take on the tech trends that will shape 2020. Read on to hear what they had to say, starting with the boss.
Sarah Taylor, Transformation Manager at Sol-Tec
When I ran an IT team, there were only two rules. Apply common sense and always check your spelling.
Then there was #OwnIt. If you identified the task or the problem, you were empowered to deliver it or find the solution. Collaboratively ideally, but definitely empowered. Ok, that means there were three rules. Oh, and be helpful. Also don’t challenge my arithmetic. So just the five rules.
Here at Sol-Tec, we know adopting and delivering cloud IT is common sense.
Robert Smith, Microsoft Alliance Manager at Sol-Tec
It seems as if every organisation is talking about the importance of their “Digital Transformation” or their “Transformation Journey”, but what does this actually mean in practice?
While there is a lot of noise given over to how important a transformational approach is. This can make some organisations lose sight of the WHY and the HOW.
With Windows Server 2008 / 2008 R2 going out of extended support, how can you continue to get support on legacy kit you haven’t moved into the cloud yet?
Robert Smith, Microsoft Alliance Manager at Sol-Tec
As you are hopefully aware, Windows Server 2008 / 2008 R2 is going out of extended support on 14th January 2020. Support for SQL Server 2008 / 2008 R2 already ended on July 9th 2019.

It’s the last day of Microsoft Ignite 2019 and what a week! As I sit in the airport after a slightly earlier finish (2pm today instead of the usual 6pm), waiting for my flight home, I thought I’d take the opportunity to reflect on my first experience of this immense event.
Sol-Tec is delighted to announce that it has earned its Windows Server and SQL Server Migration to Microsoft Azure Advanced Specialisation.
This notable Microsoft accreditation serves to further demonstrate Sol-Tec’s deep knowledge, extensive experience and proven success in migrating Windows Server and SQL Server-based production workloads to Microsoft Azure.

Earlier this week, I gave a brief overview of the Azure announcements coming out of Microsoft Ignite 2019 – now it’s the turn of Microsoft 365!
Robert Smith, Microsoft Alliance Manager at Sol-Tec
This week sees Microsoft Ignite kicking off in Orlando and a chance to hear from Microsoft on all the latest and greatest innovations coming to Azure, Microsoft 365 and beyond.
As you might expect, Azure and Microsoft 365 dominated the keynote. We will dive into Microsoft 365 in a future post, but for now, let’s focus on Azure.
