Enterprise Computing

We ask all our customers a simple question: Are you utilising your technology as effectively as possible? Our consultants are experts in the provision of business value across your enterprise. We’ll work with you to understand your business drivers and translate these into business value – now and in the future.

People and processes are at the heart of what we do. Any project, no matter the size, has an impact on an organisation. At 2e2, we don’t only look at the technical aspects of a project, but the resources required to deliver. We also assess the outcome on your entire organisation.

We’ll work with your technical teams and business users to assess how you are utilising technology across your business and where savings or service improvements can be made. Then we’ll provide the resources to meet your needs – with minimal impact. It’s about end-to-end IT:

Capability analysis: how well are your existing capabilities suited to your overall business and IT strategy?

Architecture analysis: Wouldn’t it be great to know exactly where your IT is today, with a roadmap to take you where you want to be tomorrow?

Operational alignment: How can various operating models support your demands?

Plan of action: how can IT meet your required objectives? We’ll define the specific business processes and solution architecture that needs to be built.

Implementation: Our team will work with you to produce a full implementation plan to tailor the product to your needs at a time and in a manner that minimises the impact on your day-to-day operations.

Our highly skilled technical individuals are backed by vendor certification and the 2e2 in-house best practice approach.

The environmental impact of the electronics industry is higher than ever on the global political agenda. New legislation, directives and standards will inevitably change the way that business and individuals in EU and the US buy, operate and dispose of electronic equipment.

Yet going green makes economic sense too. Rapidly rising oil prices and the increasing power demands of new chipsets are bringing the cost of IT into greater focus in the boardroom. Beyond legislative compliance, there are many valuable business benefits to be gained by opting for “greener” power:

Reduce operational costs: Gartner predicts that energy costs will become the second highest cost in 70% of the world’s data centres by 2009.

Improve your reputation: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a top priority for many large corporations. Businesses that ignore their environmental impact will be less attractive to environmentally savvy investors and consumers.

Get more from your assets: Technologies such as storage consolidation and virtualisation dramatically increase asset utilisation and reduce costs.

As an enabler for change: The adoption of new technologies can help improve overall business processes and working practices. Virtualisation improves IT service levels and reduces the carbon footprint of your organisation.

You can trust 2e2 to deliver solutions that not only meet your business requirements, but also comply with legislation and help reduce your organisation’s carbon footprint: We’ve got years of experience and our partner status with major manufacturers gives us access to the latest technology and industry-leading best practice.

We’re experts at the virtualisation of server infrastructure, as well as for storage and backup environments. The 2e2 Professional Services Practice puts this in-depth expertise to work for you. Let us audit your current infrastructure environment and recommend options for consolidating and rationalising your estate.

Don’t just manage technology. Drive business results. We’re dedicated to bridging the gap between functional IT and the lines of business, to deliver positive business outcomes. We’ll help ensure that every investment made in IT, every resource allocated and every application in development or production contributes towards your business goals: that’s Business Technology Optimisation (BTO).

Companies worldwide are investing in BTO solutions as a means of lowering long-term costs, improving delivery times and reducing risk for strategic business initiatives. You’re in business and not in IT, but today, business depends on technology. Every process contributes to your company’s success.

The role of IT has changed so profoundly that it’s now one of a company’s largest areas of business investment! We’ll help you understand the impact of technology on your business outcomes and implement the solutions to make your strategic initiatives succeed, through:

• Business agility
• IT-business alignment
• Business application deployments & upgrades
• Compliance • IT automation
• IT centralisation & consolidation

The cornerstones of BTO are business value and IT efficiency – and how to drive both at the same time. This is achieved by focusing strategic IT initiatives such as business agility, business application deployments and upgrades, and compliance with specific business outcomes. Functional initiatives such as portfolio management and SOA transformation are aligned with such strategic initiatives.

Can your IT deliver the business outcome your company expects? Let us tailor a solution to your unique requirements and help you make the right portfolio decisions, so you’re able to deliver high-quality applications and services; manage service levels; monitor assets, infrastructure and service availability; identify and resolve problems; and manage change and infrastructure. Our accredited consultants are dedicated to deriving the greatest value from IT.

You want a solution that does many things, but the end result of them all is: your bottom line. How can your IT spending cut long-term costs and allow you to be more profitable? Our solution architects can design, define and implement technologies proven to achieve the lowest TCO.

Planning IT architectures that offer an adaptive framework requires a holistic approach. TCO is not just a question of cost of acquisition after all; it’s about a long-term strategy in reducing the cost of operations and maintenance, while improving performance, flexibility and business continuity. We have the knowledge, industry experience and vendor relationships to cover every aspect of the infrastructure and its application layers.

Let us help meet your business challenges: consolidate to reduce costs and simplify management. Migrate to fully supported operating environments and protect your applications investment. Virtualise for greater responsiveness, resource utilisation, flexibility and floorspace ... all while dramatically reducing power consumption. Wherever you are and wherever you’re headed, we’ll assess what you have and plan what you need. Then use the latest technologies and methodologies to transform your traditional infrastructure.

In a climate where organisations are striving to achieve increased profits and gain competitive advantages, our consulting, technology and support services have been designed with one end in mind: to truly streamline your business, so you do more with less.
