The drive for competitive advantage, especially for web services where days or hours can mean a loss of market share, is a strong commercial influence and puts added pressure on your internal IT teams to deliver services, applications and supporting infrastructure in ever-shorter timeframes.
And at a time when Capex budgets are being cut even harder than before, the ability to deploy the new infrastructure your business needs from an Opex budget is an attractive proposition.
For some organisations, infrastructure management can be a challenge. Decentralised systems and a proliferation of discrete servers make it easy to test application coexistence but not to reduce the operational overheads of hardware, data centre space, power and cooling. A cloud computing solution could remove of all of these things from your remit, allowing you to get on with your business.
- On Demand
Utilise the right infrastructure at the right time. The ability to scale your infrastructure in line with your usage means you stay in control of your infrastructure and hence your costs. - Pay as you grow
This is a common interpretation of cloud or utility computing. We will implement an agreed infrastructure stack which will provide you with flexible capacity as required so that you only pay for what you use, as you need it. - Phased deployment
We take time to understand your planned growth strategy and deploy sufficient infrastructure to meet your needs against a pre-agreed charging model, so costs are predictable and known well in advance. - Transaction charging
Relate and assign the costs to a specific business transaction. As long as it can be measured, ACS is able to identify a per-transaction charge. That could be anything from the volume of inbound calls to your sales team or the number of shopping transactions on a retail site.
