THE MISSION-CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SPECIALISTS

Decide clearly.
Change safely.
Take over cleanly.

When your IT fails, the business stops. Those are the systems we rebuild. We put your decision on solid ground, take the transition off your hands and make sure operations run stable afterwards.

01 — YOUR SITUATION

The direction is rarely the problem.

It gets uncertain in three places: before, during and after the change.

BEFORE

“Are we making the right decision? And do we see everything that follows from it?”

Before you decide, we go through what you have, cost out the options and show what each one pulls behind it. You get a decision paper that holds up in front of your management.

Decide clearly → Advise
DURING

“How do we get this through live operations without taking a risk?”

The work is ours: migration in waves, planned fallbacks, a script for the cutover and support until sign-off.

Change safely → Transition
AFTER

“Is this really finished? Documented, stable and something we can handle?”

You have two options. We hand over to your team, fully documented, with a recovery manual and training. Or we keep running the environment. You decide.

Take over cleanly → Operate

We don't replace your IT.
We make it stronger.

Your team runs the infrastructure every day. We join for the changes that come round only every five or ten years, where nobody should be learning on the job. What your team knows about the systems goes into the decision, your team gains its own experience, and we back its recommendation on technical grounds in front of your management. After the project you can do more than before.

02 — THE TRANSITIONS

Some jobs come round too rarely to become routine. That is what you bring us in for.

When a coastline has to be secured somewhere in the world, or a harbor won back from the sea, someone calls in Dutch hydraulic engineers. Not because the local engineers are poor, but because the consequences are large enough that you trust the work to people who do nothing else.

YOUR TEAM — EVERY DAY
Operations and availabilityYour systems, your users, your responsibility day to day.
Applications and processesNobody knows your landscape and its history better.
System knowledge in houseIt stays with you and grows with every project we do together.
SYSFACTS — WHEN THE TIME COMES
Platform and vendor changesHypervisor, virtualization, backup: when the vendor changes the rules.
Site and data center movesRelocation, consolidation, carve-out: to a fixed date and without standstill.
Storage and network rebuildsGeneration changes, geo-redundancy, segmentation: through live operations.
A transition like this comes round for you every five to ten years.
For us, every week. THAT IS WHY WE GET THE CALL

We come in when something out of the ordinary is due, and we leave again once it has become manageable.

03 — WHAT TRIGGERS IT

The moment it gets concrete.

Whoever says “consolidation” is usually naming the solution already. The trigger behind it is almost always one of four.

A — 01 · PLATFORM & VENDOR CHANGE“The renewal quote is on the table, at three times the price.”Assess, change, operate. Entry point: the VMware Exit Assessment. A — 02 · CLOUD STRATEGY & COST“Nobody can explain the cloud bill any more.”Workload placement with the numbers behind it, from cloud exit assessment through to repatriation. A — 03 · M&A, CARVE-OUT & RESTRUCTURING“The acquisition is signed. The date is set.”Systems brought together by the deadline, without the day-to-day noticing. A — 04 · RESILIENCE & REGULATION“The audit finding is in. Now we need a plan.”From the finding to resilience you can evidence, documented so it holds in the audit.
