The challenges we help with

You want to realise the value from your digital transformation

Our consultants have the skills you need to accelerate and optimise your cloud journey. We’ll work with you to fully understand where you are today, and where you need the cloud to take you. And a standard part of our process is working out how to minimise and optimise your IT spend to deliver the best business value. We’d do this either by modernising your existing critical applications, or through adopting software as a service (SaaS).

Your employees and users find your legacy IT complex

If your staff don’t have the right tools to do their job, it can get pretty frustrating, pretty quickly. So modernising applications can simplify your architectures as well as improving user experience for both your customers and employees. And we’ll give your staff a single user experience across a range of devices and locations.

Your legacy IT is impacting your competitive edge

The cost and time attributed to managing and operating legacy IT can be vast. We’ll make sure you’ve got access to the latest cloud technologies and can deploy modern applications at speed – so you remain relevant to existing and new customers. Modernising can also help you improve staff morale, retention and help you attract the right talent.

Cyber security is a bit of an afterthought

Through our digital transformation process, we’ll make sure all of the solutions we implement are Secure by Design. With modern cloud technologies comes easily accessible security. That means the protection of people that access your data and applications. As well as protecting any infrastructure and end points. And all of this is baked into the cloud, so it’s easy to adopt without any big investment.

We’ll help untangle the complexities of digital transformation strategies

Often, after we’ve created a technology strategy, we’ll figure out how to achieve those plans through transformation of your legacy applications and platforms.    

Digital transformation involves a mix of business processes and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning. But what does digital transformation actually encompass? It includes everything from:  

Modernising legacy systems and cloud architecture

Optimising your end user’s experience

Securing your data and protecting against threats

Having greater visibility and insights of your infrastructure

Simplifying management.

That’s quite a lot to consider. Enabling new business models and transforming into the ultimate digital business is a complex undertaking. But making things straightforward is what we’re all about.  

From end user to cloud (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and everything in between, we help you make the most of your investments. We’ll also help you rationalise your technology landscape, and tap into digital technologies. So your organisation can realise the many benefits of digital transformation initiatives.

The way we work

Our clearly defined digital transformation process

We’re a team. We work with you. Together we’ll create a digital transformation roadmap, encompassing your business needs, technical changes, what the timescales are, what will be delivered, and when we’ll deliver it.   

 

They say the devil is in the detail. We’ll give you detailed technical and project documents. They’ll help you define, build and migrate to your new modernised environment – with us by your side to support you every step of the way.   

 

The migration may consist of many different technology components such as:   

  1. cloud environments
  2. server migrations
  3. re-architecting applications and utilising more PaaS services
  4. migration of data
  5. using cloud-based analytics
  6. new security solutions such as Zero Trust, SD-WAN
  7. establishing a hybrid cloud model.

 

With cloud infrastructure transformation we aim to enhance your end user environment. We can do this in lots of different ways. But the end goal is always the same, improving productivity and performance for your end users, so they can work anywhere, anytime.
