Understanding key issues

CHALLENGES

Meeting expectations

Increasingly, customers expect to receive services anytime, anywhere and on any device, as do employees. Providing this demands a highly available, secure and flexible platform.

Lack of skills

Often, incumbent IT estates are complex environments. It is difficult to find people skilled in these complicated and old technologies, whereas many are knowledgeable about modern tech such as Cloud.

High costs

The lack of agility in an in-house environment means that your spend can easily go to waste, as the platform will always be ‘on’ but not always used.

Maintaining competitiveness

To maintain competitiveness, your technology needs to consistently be reviewed and refreshed. This can be arduous and expensive, especially if IT experts are not involved in the review.

How our Public Cloud Services can help you

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Chief Information Officer

    Cloud, Microsoft and Amazon are often mentioned in board meetings, and it is the organisation’s tech lead who is expected to integrate these significant technologies into the digital landscape of the company. Expert support eases this task.

    ScalabilityScalability

    Public Cloud platforms enable your tech to support your business growth. It is much easier to consume more Azure or AWS than it is to acquire the ideal amount of hardware internally.

    VisibilityVisibility

    Detailed visibility tools are intrinsic to the use of both Azure and AWS. Reports on how your workload is operating within the Cloud will be available to share with board members.

    Expert communicationExpert communication

    Working with Advanced gives you a specialist sounding board to bounce ideas off and support your communications with the rest of your organisation, from board members to the IT teams.

  • Infrastructure Manager

    Many incumbent IT estates are spread across different environments, which makes them difficult to manage. Utilising Public Cloud platforms simplifies this complex make-up, allowing you to outsource the responsibility of apps to remove unnecessary concerns.

    ConsolidationConsolidation

    Software as a Service (SaaS) apps, and refreshing your estate through choosing to migrate to the Public Cloud, reduces the pressure on your internal teams and streamlines your infrastructure.

    Mobile securityMobile security

    Public Cloud platforms enable your security standards to travel with your company’s employees; having employees work away from your offices will not harm your security posture.

    Expert supportExpert support

    We provide you with Microsoft and Amazon accredited specialists who are technically skilled and focused on helping you meet your specific business needs.

  • Procurement/Finance Lead

    Adopting and sustaining new technologies is often a necessary but expensive investment. You need the modernisation to maintain competitiveness and support business growth, but spending unwisely incurs more costs. Partnering with experts can prevent this.

    Pay-as-you-usePay-as-you-use

    Instead of budgeting and procuring – and hoping it is right amount of hardware for your unique workload - Public Cloud platforms are consumed through pay-as-you-use cost models.

    Expert investmentExpert investment

    Choosing an external IT partner is an easier way to acquire the expertise needed to be successful instead of hiring a whole team internally. Your partner has already made the investment for you.

    Continuous updatesContinuous updates

    Both Azure and AWS are continuously updated in ways that minimally disrupt business activity. This means less budgeting for large upgrades and less gaps in working due to IT issues.

“We are moving forward to meet growing and more complex demands with Advanced, a provider that can both scale to meet those needs and provide the level of professionalism required within this marketplace."
