Profile picture of Duncan Clubb

Data centres are vital assets for all organisations and are often critical to business operations as well as a significant cost.


Bring in experts to get the best results.


Hybrid Strategy

Most enterprises are following a hybrid strategy for their IT but can struggle to get the savings and efficiencies that are meant to follow. Our experts can help refine strategies, optimising operating models, organisational structure and technology choice for multi-cloud orchestration.



Due Diligence

Whether you are looking to acquire data centres, or just space within one, our team can help assess your options from many angles, including location, technical, engineering, risk and business model. 


Migration Strategies

Migrations, whether to the cloud or between data centres, can be expensive, time-consuming and high-risk.


Our experts have been involved in migrations of all shapes and sizes and can help you minimise cost, risk and delivery time.


Business Cases

Business cases are the foundation of successful transformation strategies and programmes. Without a compelling financial model, it can be difficult to justify the change.

Our team can work with you or your customers to develop robust business cases for all forms of investment and change programmes.

Data Centre Estate Strategy

If you own or lease multiple data centres, our experts can help optimise your estate, identifying the most efficient and sustainable strategies for managing your portfolio of assets

Edge Strategy

Distributed compute platforms, or edge data centres, are set to grow to the same scale as public cloud services.

Our team has been deeply involved in the development of the edge industry since its start and can help you develop your own strategy to exploit this exciting new platform.
