COMMON CHALLENGES
Building a better IT environment together
You know your business better than anybody, and we know IT like the back of our hand, so by working together we can build a brilliant infrastructure and avoid the most common pitfalls:
The big five challenges of software and tools:
Inefficient data management
Businesses are storing more data than ever, and the burden is increasing each and every year. Easy to collect, but hard to store, poorly managed data can negatively impact your business.
Monitoring
Most businesses monitor their IT, but don’t have a complete solution in place that enables them to fast-track issues when they occur. By utilising more extensive systems which are made to measure, our customers get to the root of the problem rapidly and create reliable business continuity.
Availability & security
You need maximum uptime and bulletproof cyber security. It’s essential that your infrastructure has built-in redundancy, ability to failover to another set of infrastructure or another location, and protocols to identify and combat emerging threats.
Increased complexity
Modern IT infrastructure bears no resemblance to what it looked like 10 years ago, or in some specific cases even just a few years ago. To take advantage of new developments, you need to stay up to date with industry trends, new technologies, and the direction the market is heading in.
Inefficient partners
Outsourcing knowledge-intensive tasks to experts is common wisdom, but inefficient third-party partners who don’t provide high quality services can lead to a lot of downtime and degradation of your IT infrastructure. Choosing the right partner, with the right experience, is half the battle of staying ahead in the market.
INNOVATION AND INSIGHTS
Expertise that helps you stay one step ahead
XaaS
Most people in business are familiar with the ‘as-a-Service’ model, particularly ‘Software-as-a-Service’ where applications are hosted and run from the cloud. XaaS, which means ‘anything-as-a-service’ is becoming the standard model, with infrastructure, platform, database, network and other key IT services making the move to the cloud.
Sustainability
Growing acceptance of corporate responsibility to fight climate change is putting increasing pressure on businesses to reduce their carbon footprints, even in less obvious areas like digital services. Physical datacentres, hardware and appliances are now being held to account over their environmental impact.
