Interlink Cloud Advisors

Overview

About

Interlink Cloud Advisors is an IT consulting firm based at 3510 Irwin Simpson Road in Mason, Ohio, a Cincinnati suburb. Founded in 2011, the company specializes in Microsoft technologies, and it has built a reputation as an authority on the intricacies of Microsoft's licensing rules, bundled offerings, technical deployments, and incentive programs. That specialization is the core of the business: Microsoft licensing is famously complicated, with true-ups, renewals, bundles, and program changes that can quietly cost a company money, and Interlink's consultants guide clients through it so they buy the right licenses at the right price and no more. The firm is consistently ranked among the top ten partners worldwide for client use of Microsoft funding for project pilots, workshops, and deployments, which means its customers can often get Microsoft itself to help pay for new projects, lowering costs and speeding up timelines. Cloudtango gives the firm a 4.8 rating across eight client reviews, and its verified LinkedIn company page is linked from its own website. The company can be reached at 800-900-1150, and its only listed vendor partnership is Microsoft itself, which fits a practice focused on a single vendor's ecosystem rather than spreading across many.

The firm's services start with Microsoft 365, the cloud suite of email, collaboration, and office applications, including Teams for communication, Copilot as Microsoft's AI assistant, and SharePoint for document management. Its Azure practice covers Microsoft's cloud platform, from migration planning to ongoing management of cloud servers and services, and its cloud infrastructure work designs the underlying hosted environments. Microsoft licensing and CSP services, CSP being Microsoft's Cloud Solution Provider program, handle the purchasing, provisioning, and ongoing management of licenses so clients stay compliant without overbuying. Security and compliance services protect those Microsoft environments, and the managed security offering provides ongoing monitoring for threats. The help desk gives client employees a support line for everyday issues, and managed services cover broader outsourced IT operations. Cloud voice replaces traditional office phone systems with calling inside Microsoft Teams. Disaster recovery services keep data backed up and restorable after failures. The firm also advises on mergers and acquisitions IT, consolidating email systems, file shares, and tenants when companies combine, and its employee engagement and productivity services focus on getting staff to actually adopt and use the tools the company buys, through training and change management. Client reviews on Cloudtango name businesses such as G&J Pepsi-Cola Bottlers, LaRosa's Pizzeria, Meridian Bioscience, the Cincinnati Museum Center, Altarum, and the Hillman Group, with reviewers repeatedly praising the team's responsiveness and its depth of Microsoft knowledge. One reviewer, the CIO of Meridian Bioscience, wrote that he has relied on the firm's principals for licensing guidance for over seventeen years, across the firm's earlier form and its current one.
