Available for IT consulting

I help small businesses move to the cloud, securely.

I'm Krisen Kuppusamy — an IT consultant running KCS Inc. in Montreal. I specialize in Microsoft 365 cloud migration, ransomware-resistant backups, and modernizing the way teams work — drawing on two decades leading eCommerce and digital initiatives.

About

A versatile IT leader who makes technology serve the business.

I'm a versatile IT leader with extensive experience in Microsoft 365 cloud migration and web application development. Today I contract independently through my own corporation, KCS Inc., helping small businesses retire fragile on-premise infrastructure and move to consolidated, secure cloud services.

My approach is consultative, not forceful: I assess where a business is, show what's possible with integrated M365 apps, and build a migration plan with a clear rollback — holding a client's hand as little or as much as they need.

Before going independent, I spent over a decade at Rogers Communications and Fido leading eCommerce teams and digital platforms, plus a contract at MUFG as a technical business analyst.

What I do

IT consulting, focused on what matters now

Through KCS Inc., I deliver practical, end-to-end cloud and security work for small businesses.

☁️

Microsoft 365 Migration

Move file servers, email and Active Directory to consolidated M365 services — domain migration, mailbox backup & import, and files into SharePoint / OneDrive, with a planned rollback.

🛡️

Security & Ransomware Protection

Harden environments with 2FA, domain security, anti-phishing, and DNS fixes. Cloud-to-cloud backup with Veeam / MSP360 to protect against ransomware loss.

💡

Assessment & Cost Optimization

Assess current state, show what integrated M365 makes possible, and consolidate desktop Office licenses to cut costs — without disrupting how your team already works.

📱

Adoption & Training

Train teams to use cloud-based Microsoft Office across phone, tablet and browser, so the new tools actually get used and the investment pays off.

🔗

Integrations & Web

PCI-compliant payment capture, DocuSign payment-gateway prototyping, VPN site-to-site networking, and web application development built on 20 years of eCommerce delivery.

🤝

Ongoing Support

Responsive, accessible support via phone, email and remote desktop — keeping data recoverable and teams productive even when something goes down.

Krisen will be an invaluable asset for your firm. He was for mine. Krisen gets my highest recommendation. He migrated our file server to SharePoint, implemented Veeam M365 cloud backup against ransomware, and prevented mailbox hacks with 2FA and DNS fixes — a 10/10 score on Mail-tester for our corporate email. Thank you for your excellent service.

Krisen is genuinely passionate about technology — mobile, web and cloud. An excellent communicator, he's superb at showing business partners how new technology can transform their work. His customer focus and knack for "staying with the problem" have been key to delivering successful solutions. More recently, he successfully led the strategic migration of a fast-growing Toronto company to SaaS cloud-based solutions.

Krisen carried an incredible load when his group was severely short-staffed, yet always greeted you with a smile. His cheerful disposition and can-do attitude made him a persuasive leader. He inspired us to constantly strive for a better user experience — working with him, I felt we were working for a greater purpose, energized and appreciated. Krisen drew the best out of people who worked with him.
