We’re with you for your full project lifecycle – designing custom solutions, building your system, training your team, and maintaining the product for however long you need it.

Tech-driven, consultancy-led

With 30 years of experience supporting global businesses, we combine commercial consultancy with cutting edge tech to provide full-service advice that accounts for your people, processes, and profits.

OVERCOMING YOUR CHALLENGES

Microsoft, Google, and everything in between

We work with several partners – including Citrix, VMWare, HP, and Dell – to provide software and hardware solutions that give you the security and scalability you need for effective information storage.

Whatever your starting point, there are five common challenges in information storage that clients share with us. We overcome each one, every time.

Budget & Cost

As your business grows, or demand for information grows, storage solutions can become expensive. Knowing when to reassess or upgrade is key to keeping costs under control.

Migration

At key points in your growth, migrations may be required to move to bigger and better systems more suitable for your operations. We’ll make sure everything runs smoothly.

Security

Every access point needs protecting and security protocols must be set in order to safeguard, without stalling, accessibility. Our expert team covers every detail with you.

Compliance

Industry and regulatory standards can be different from sector to sector, and universal data protection policies apply across the board. Your system must take into account and adhere to all of these.

Scalability

If your business is fast moving and migration downtime isn’t an option, you’ll need a system that can flex on-the-fly – without becoming redundant or expensive. We build solutions that can scale with you.

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 Tesco procurement team have been delighted with the way Commercial share our desire to entrench sustainability into our supply chain – we really are kindred spirits. Our ethical and sustainability policies are of paramount importance to our reputation and the Commercial team reviewed and approved all products in a short timeframe. Commercial are already committed to the ETI base code and are working on achieving EcoVadis accreditation for all suppliers on the Tesco account.

Innovation and insights

Rapid advances require rapid responses

More organisations are opting for a cloud-first approach, using containers, service meshes, microservices, and declarative APIs to stay agile and adaptive to fast-changing priorities.

Like security and control, which is driving more businesses to use sovereign cloud to keep more data on domestic soil – and in more sustainable ways, as providers increasingly switch to renewable energies and better environmental practices to help their clients manage their carbon footprints.

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

Explore our Frequently Asked Questions section to find answers to common queries about our products and services, helping you navigate your way to a better understanding.

What is information storage?

Information storage, or data storage, is the collection of systems and processes that keep company resources safe, secure,  but still accessible to individuals, collaborative groups, and applications with the appropriate permissions.

What are the risks of on-premise?

On-premise can provide greater control, access and options for customisation than off-premise – because the data is stored in your own technology within your own network – but can be less flexible, scalable or secure than off-premise facilities, and more difficult to access for remote and mobile workers.

How is information stored?

Depending on your business needs, information storage normally consists of on-premise within your own server environment, off-premise within an outsourced datacentre, or within the cloud (either private or public). A hybrid setup uses a combination of on-premise, off-premise and cloud services.

What are the risks of off-premise/cloud?

Off-premise storage services are maintained at the latest software and security levels and resources can scale up and down dynamically, depending on requirements. However, clients have fewer options for local customisation and there is no offline access in the event of connectivity issues.
