London – August 06, 2014 – Attenda Limited, the Business Critical IT company, today announced that it is publishing its latest BroadGroup research findings on mid-market enterprise cloud adoption.
BroadGroup is an Information Media Technology and Professional Services company, with a leading data centre consulting practice. During the independent research, commissioned by Attenda, BroadGroup conducted interviews with Attenda clients, across a broad set of verticals, to ask CIOs and IT Directors how widely they had adopted cloud; and if so, what best practices had been adopted and were there any lessons to be learnt.
As Daniel Beazer, Consultant, Broad Group comments; “The findings were very interesting and revealed that every participant saw considerable benefits in the cloud; but many felt there were considerable barriers to achieving these benefits.”
Beazer continues, “What we found was a hybrid world that could include public cloud, private cloud, dedicated hosted infrastructure, colocation and on-premises services.”
Attenda’s service strategy embraces hybrid computing, with Consulting and Professional Services to help guide its clients on their journey; creating their unique hybrid environment and providing the right level of monitoring and management, supported by a business outcome focused SLA.
As Oliver Presland, Director, Service Strategy, Attenda adds, “No IT estate is the same and every enterprise will have its own unique requirements, and its own group of stakeholders all with differing needs.”
Attenda has adopted a location and platform agnostic approach to cloud and managed services, combined with its capabilities in areas that are vitally important in a cloud deployment, such as integration, availability, security and performance.
Presland concludes, “This BroadGroup research has shown that with our flexible and customised approach, and our evolving portfolio of private and public cloud platforms, with managed services, we are in a strong position to truly offer our clients the optimum hybrid solution, to meet their precise business needs.”
