KEY CONSIDERATIONS

Clarity amidst the clouds

Whether you’re looking to save money, want to reduce your risk, or are keen to keep up with the latest innovations, here are some key points to consider about cloud technologies.

Reducing Costs

Although cloud technologies can reduce costs, many organisations are still unsure of how to correctly use them to save money and increase efficiency. By partnering with us, we can help you to architect to best practise standards using Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework and help you do more with less.

Increasing Agility
Agility remains key for businesses providing services to customers or developing applications that drive growth. By working with us, and using cloud technologies in the correct way, you’re free to focus on other areas of your business. Our agile platform for software development ensures the best quality of service to your customers thanks to its high availability and scaling features within Azure.
Improved Security
Migrating to the cloud can help improve your security and compliance by using native features within Azure. To help reduce your attack surface we can assess your existing security posture and support you in making changes to give you added peace of mind.
Modernised Technology
By migrating to the cloud you can better leverage newer transformational technologies such as Automation, AI/ML, data analytics and server-less compute. We’re here to help you create a digital strategy that uses these newer technologies, reducing operational overheads and increasing productivity.
Business Resilience
By hosting data and applications within Azure there is a greater ability to ensure your business recovers quickly from disruption. Using technologies like Azure Site Recovery or Azure Availability Zones will ensure that both your on premises and cloud based workloads remain available with minimal service disruption.

Don’t just take
our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

The new Walsall Housing Group office is a fantastic, fresh and modern workplace thanks to the wonderful work of the Commercial interiors team. They created a steering group to work alongside us to understand our demands and held regular meetings during the design process to keep us informed of the progress. Our desire was for a more collaborative space, with meeting booths and one-to-one seating, rather than traditional desks – and they delivered a fantastic final fit-out over the full four-floor building.
Each year, Commercial supplies accessory packs to graduate trainees at a leading accountancy firm, which are then picked, packed, and delivered to their home addresses by the Commercial Foundation. This not only guarantees that every new employee has the necessary equipment to be productive from their first day but also allows their IT team to focus on other responsibilities. Collaborating with the Commercial Foundation generates substantial social value returns on investment for the firm and contributes to improving the lives of the Foundation's volunteers.
Wollens have enjoyed a long-standing and fruitful partnership with Commercial because they are always introducing innovations and improvements to our IT environment. As the threat of cyber-attacks increases it was vital that we strengthened our capabilities for dealing with a ransomware attack with a cloud-based backup solution. Our solution means data cannot be altered or deleted, giving us a crucial way of recovering data to minimise any potential downtime and financial losses
Working with Commercial for our branded materials has proved to be effective and collaborative. The team is efficient and they listen to requests for improvements. Commercial has made branded goods simple.
As E-commerce in retail continues to grow, Commercial’s stock-management and fulfilment expertise has allowed a leading UK retailer to free huge amounts of warehouse space. Commercial took on the stocking of our employee uniform, transferring to a new supplier with the management of the supply being consolidated into their existing supply accounts. Not only did this free vital space in their distribution centre, the consolidated supply of all GNFR delivered significant delivery cost savings.
At JoJo Maman Bébé we are happy to work with the Commercial Foundation and support inspiring work they do to help disadvantaged young adults. Like us, the Foundation are a B Corp certified organisation that is proven to put purpose ahead of profits. We have enjoyed working with their volunteers to help with a mug-making activity. We are now working alongside them to create an introduction gift for our new employees, these include printed mugs, pens and notebooks.

Frequently Asked Questions

To understand more about cloud optimisation, or ask any questions that we haven’t answered, please get in touch.

What are the benefits of migrating to the cloud?

Migrating to the cloud provides a number of benefits, including increased scalability, cost savings, improved reliability, maintenance efficiency, improved security and enhanced collaboration features.

Does moving to the cloud save money?

Yes, migrating to the cloud can help reduce operational costs associated with IT infrastructure. One of the benefits of cloud computing is that it can be much more cost-effective than setting up and managing an on-premise data centre.

How secure is the cloud?

When done properly, cloud security can be as secure, or even more secure, than traditional IT infrastructure. Cloud providers have robust security measures in place, such as multi-factor authentication, encryption, and access control, to protect data and other resources.

Is the cloud reliable?

Cloud service providers have invested heavily in infrastructure upgrades over the past decade to provide reliable, secure, and available cloud services. The cloud services they offer rarely, if ever, suffer outages, and when they do, they are quickly resolved as the cloud service provider is usually able to detect the issues and fix them before the customers are actually affected.
