Description

While most of the major cloud platforms look for lock-in and ‘single vendor’ choices, we take a more practical and realistic approach. Global organisations will usually have multiple suppliers, with a hybrid approach to cloud service delivery. Localisation and Data Regulations, government policy, security policy and business needs often lead to pragmatic and mixed delivery needs for each location. We can help you harmonise, consolidate and rationalise your different platform needs, with designs that reduce your resource and development complexity.

We can help you make sense of the many Hybrid and distributed cloud options out there, with a true, resilient, scaleable capability, that will give your business what it needs. The greater the harmonisation and then automation, the simpler it becomes to maintain control, deploy your security enforcing measures, and respond to events. We can help bring together your Service Desk, Event, Incident and Change Management processes, to give that single-view of the service, as well as support a global catalogue of automated platform services for your enterprise. We have first hand experience of working with AWS, Azure, and GCP, as well as the key IaaS providers and virtualisation/Container technologies.
