Our solutions help some of the world’s leading organisations improve scalability, agility and access to the latest technologies, develop financially-sound cloud roadmaps that transform the performance of apps and data, and boost productivity and workforce mobility.
Our clients can be found at the forefront of digitalisation in fast-moving markets like architecture, engineering, construction, finance, healthcare, automotive, and more. They enjoy all the benefits of private cloud solutions and don’t miss the headaches associated with public cloud providers, such as hidden charges, poor environmental controls and under-used resources.
WHAT ARE CLOUD SERVICES?
Our cloud services allow Creative clients to overcome legacy IT challenges through on-demand access to private cloud agility, computing power and storage capabilities – while offloading hardware costs, upgrade burdens and skilled resourcing requirements.
We help them de-risk and accelerate digital transformation, removing worries about business resilience, scaling issues, technical knowledge and skill gaps, and avoiding hardware and software reaching end-of-life.
In the process, our clients optimise cash flow with flexible OpEx-based charging models and a cost-effective approach for futureproofing their business with emerging technologies, such as AI and OpenUSD.
