FAQs

Basic principles and processes

When we build your cloud strategy we follow these few basic principles and processes to ensure we deliver the right long-term cloud strategy to take your business into the future.

Size for the now, scale for the future

Unlike traditional IT refresh lifecycles, which attempt to predict future IT needs, and then purchase sufficient additional compute resources to provide for those needs, our business-case led strategies allow current and future requirements to be modelled in a series of scenarios, providing clarity in an ever-changing world.

Secondary Button

An end-to-end business case

Our years of experience have taught us what matters when building a business case. When creating our scenarios, we consider our clients’ complete IT service infrastructure, including line items such as: servers, storage, networks, desktops, applications, licensing, mobile devices, training, power consumption, business continuity and property costs.

Real cashable savings

Our business cases and strategies focus on identifying real, cashable savings, not hypothetical savings. It’s all too common for a business case to include such ‘savings’ as: 10 minutes per employee, per day times salary. We realise that, whilst important in terms of end-user experience, not many organisations will ever see those savings realised as actual cash in the bank.

Dragon’s Den ready

We work our key client sponsors to develop a strategy and business case that is ready to face the full scrutiny of the wider client leadership team, end-user communities, and external auditors.

First step of the process

We learn about your business, from the day to day to your long-term goals, challenges, and current IT services.

Second step of the process

We identify your tech needs and deliver a strategy discussion document that includes strategic options to suit your goals and budget. From here we let you chop and change elements to develop your ideal plan.

Third step of the process

Once we’ve reviewed your options, we’ll finalise them and detail your best plan of action. From cloud solutions, hardware and software, to supplies and more, we’ll detail it all.

Fourth step of the process

Should you choose us to implement your IT strategy, we’ll begin, ensuring we work closely with you. You’ll get a dedicated team with the specialisms that are required, and we’ll source any cloud subscriptions and hardware, put any planned systems and programmes in place, carry out migrations and more. All done in a smooth transition so that your business is unaffected.
