Your Cloud Journey

We craft your ideal cloud around you

The cloud promises exciting prospects, and for good reason. The commercial benefits alone are enough of an incentive for organisations of all sizes to take cloud seriously. It’s flexible, scalable, agile, and cost-effective – everything a modern business needs. That’s why we’re such huge advocates of the cloud, and have invested a lot of time and effort into gaining a better understanding of its value.

Of course, there’s no “one cloud fits all”, which is why so many of our customers arrive at IT that’s actually a hybrid cloud. This is composed of private cloud

– systems you own and operate – and public cloud – services you harness but are delivered by experienced cloud service providers. At the end of the day it’s about arriving at the right mix of both.  We make it our priority to find that mix. Working alongside you and your team, we explore your goals, the systems you run, and what you consider critical to your business.  Using our extensive knowledge, we then advise how you can best utilise the different cloud services available to you. But we won’t just wind you up and watch you go – we’re here to lend our expertise to the design, deployment, and ongoing support surrounding your solution too, seeing you arrive at the perfect cloud.

What makes us different?

01

Everything uncomplicated

We make IT uncomplicated to own, run, and grow. But it doesn’t stop there - we uncomplicate everything else too. The ways you can do business with us, the independent standards that validate our skills, even down to the small details like how we present our costs. We take all the sweat out of making IT work for your business.

02

With age comes wisdom

We’ve been in business for more than 25 years. There’s little we’ve not seen or done. This know-how and experience is poured into every single project. If we don’t already have the answers you’re looking for, we’ll find them faster than anyone else.

03

We do what we love

We love what we do and every one of our team is personally invested in our work and it shows in our results. Our flat leadership structure and open culture encourages ideas and develops thinking that genuinely impacts your project for the better.

04

No insight – no project

We like to listen, but that only works if you’re ready to share. If you don’t feel able to do this, and want to skip the insight bit, then we’re not the IT partner for you.

05

Yorkshire spirit

We’re proud to be Yorkshire. Dogged determination, value for money, and fair play is what we’re all about.

06

We’re done when you’re chuffed

Our work is done when you tell us you’re chuffed. Until then there’s room to improve, so we roll up our sleeves and continue till you are.
