The task of migrating our server estate to the cloud was made easy by working with Arcus. They determined which services needed to be migrated in what order and worked with our internal IT team, external providers and our incumbent Managed Services Partner to deliver a smooth transition to the Amazon Web Services Platform. Our transformation timetable was aggressive and cost sensitive, Arcus exceeded our expectations on both counts.

Amazon Web Services was an obvious choice given its breadth of services, maturity of the offering and lowest cost. Ability to migrate aging platforms and set up Direct Connect was also a key factor. Most importantly, AWS was able to offer the biggest cost advantage, without requiring the council to be tied down to long term commercial commitment.

Arcus was a real partner to AVDC during the project. Despite delays caused by other suppliers, they have stepped up, and shown commitment and flexibility, maintaining the partnering approach.

Arcus and Efftel worked tirelessly to deliver savings to us. We did not expect them to find so many savings or to be successful in getting money out of our vendors.

Anything that makes our day more efficient is good, but it is even better when you see how these efficiencies can then be passed on to our customers in the form of a better, more responsive service. Delays to building inspections can cost our customers time and money, so anything we can do to make our service as quick and as efficient as possible is good news.
