Core Services

Consultancy

 

Consultancy is at the heart of what we do. Our breadth and depth of experience allows us to offer engagements ranging from the deeply technical to the highly strategic.

 

We deliver hands-on technical design and implementation services across a wide range of technology solutions. Our consultants are trained to the highest levels of technical excellence on current technologies.

 

Where a wider analysis of a potential solution is needed, our consultants act as Architects. We translate business and technical requirements into an overall architecture, defining the most appropriate technology to solve the problem.  If required, we can then also implement the solution.

 

For customers who require a more strategic approach, we offer Pragmatic Enterprise Architecture Framework (PEAF) qualified Enterprise Architects who are well-versed in adopting a holistic view of organisational objectives and best practice architectural principles.

Managed Services

 

We’ve translated the high levels of quality and technical expertise we offer our consultancy customers into Managed Services offerings, with excellence at the core

​

Our portfolio of Managed Services offerings is growing all the time.  We also offer bespoke services as we appreciate that one size doesn’t always fit all. If you have a specific Managed Service requirement, please get in touch.

Cloud Disaster Recovery Service

 

Our disaster recovery service offers you uncomplex, inexpensive, highly secure, and easily testable protection for your critical IT systems, without compromising on recovery levels. 

 

Based on the simple principle of starting with what is natively available before augmenting it with 3rd party offerings, we leverage a toolbox of Microsoft’s own products available within the Azure public cloud. Adopting this approach, we find that for the majority of the time, Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) can be met without the increased complexity and cost of additional 3rd party licences or appliances.
