IT consulting
Infrastructure planned, built, and operated.
Most suppliers answer the cloud question before they have heard it, because their commercial model depends on a single answer. We assess each workload on its own terms: capacity, data sensitivity, integration surface, and the cost of operating it over several years. Some workloads belong on the customer's own hardware and others belong in the cloud. The team that makes the recommendation stays with the environment afterward, which is what keeps the recommendation honest.
Infrastructure and virtualization
Servers, virtualization, storage, backup, and disaster recovery. Capacity is sized against the workload as it behaves in production, and recovery procedures are tested and documented before any system is allowed to depend on them.
Cloud and hybrid
Migration planning and execution, cloud infrastructure built and operated on an ongoing basis, and hybrid designs for environments that keep part of their estate in house. Microsoft 365 and other SaaS platforms are configured, integrated with the directory, and administered under the same support arrangement.
Software development
Applications built to requirement and integrated with the systems already in service. Where an existing platform covers most of a need, the engagement is scoped as an integration and we say so before the proposal is written. Where nothing covers it, the application is built.
Consulting and operational support
System administration and support, delivered remotely and onsite, together with the decisions that precede it: what to procure, what to retire, and what belongs in house. Retirement planning is treated as part of the engagement, and the retirement list is written alongside the procurement list.
