Cloud Services

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

 

Our Infrastructure as a service platform (IaaS) is unique in that it can be moulded to your business needs. The platform we offer is adjustable, scalable and most importantly, reliable; meaning you can utilise our service to suit your particular setup and needs.

Infrastructure as a service, in the simplest terms, is fundamental computing resources supplied as a service through cloud technology, this is sometimes known as ‘abstracted hardware’. The customer, or recipient of infrastructure services, can freely control and manage any operating systems and applications that run on top of the supplied infrastructure, but does not administrate the underlying systems.

Other benefits of using infrastructure as a service include reduced overall costs, which is mainly due to pay-by-use monthly plan, which takes away the overheads that come with in-house hardware and software.

Another advantage of using our infrastructure services is the support we offer, with our highly-qualified technical specialist, we can provide a number of different support plans to guide you through your infrastructure if required, from technical support to fully managed services.

Software as a Service (SaaS)­

 

Software as a Service is a business-savvy way to utilise applications on a monthly basis. Not only is it a big cost to purchase software upfront, it isn’t always necessarily the right choice. For certain projects that are temporary, busy seasons, and new launches, software as a service can be the perfect solution to the demands your business faces.

Other benefits of software as a service include the ability to scale out and customise packages as you go, as opposed to putting forward the payment for a set product that you’re stuck with. This on-demand way of operating means that the power lies with you, the user. Our model allows you to pay monthly, per user which allows scalability to meet the company’s needs.

Your applications will be monitored and managed by our team of highly-qualified engineers, who are based here in the UK, and can provide you with peace of mind regarding all things security, maintenance and performance.

SharePoint

 

Microsoft SharePoint is in essence a web site that provides a central storage space for documents and ideas. SharePoint allows teams to work together more efficiently, users can co-ordinate on projects, post discussions and generally more in a structured and more collaborative format. SharePoint can be used as a simple document management system allowing check in/out of documents. It can be use to create workflows to manage the workload, add approval processes for document sign-off or even use the software to provide a new corporate website.­

We can provide consultancy services to aid in the design of existing SharePoint sites to provide a more complete and productive solution for your business. We will investigate the current use of SharePoint within your business and develop solutions to use the site more effectively, whether this involves creating a number of workflows to provide some automation to your practices or connecting into databases to extract information.­

We aim to get businesses using the SharePoint resource they have acquired and using this to its fullest potential, thereby increasing their Return-on-investment (ROI) and reducing overall costs. Our experience Engineers have been supporting SharePoint systems for a number of years covering a wide variety of configurations, solutions and software. We have experience supporting SharePoint from SharePoint 2010 version to the SharePoint 2013 version enterprise deployments. ­
