Most of our clients run on Microsoft, from identity, email and devices to security, Azure, automation and AI, including Copilot, Copilot Studio and Microsoft Foundry. We design, secure and run it end to end, from day-to-day operations and identity discipline through to security hardening and platform lifecycle.
Technology partners, chosen for how your business works
We pick platforms for how well they fit your business and the rest of your stack. Then our engineers design, secure and run them as one environment.
What each partner brings, and what we do with it
These partners anchor much of the technology we design, deploy and operate. Select a platform to see the role it plays, how our engineers use it and where it fits across our services.
Fortinet anchors secure networking: firewall architecture, SD-WAN, branch security and SASE-aligned protection across single and multi-site environments. We design, deploy and operate Fortinet estates inside our cybersecurity and secure networking engagements, including firewall policy, SD-WAN orchestration and centralised management.
Cisco covers switching, wireless, routing and cloud-managed networking across multi-site estates, with Meraki the common choice where centralised cloud management and simple branch deployment are the priority. We deploy and operate Cisco and Meraki networks, and assess existing Cisco infrastructure against how an organisation actually runs today.
SentinelOne protects endpoints with detection, response and autonomous containment, and we use it where a client needs stronger endpoint security and managed response. We deploy and operate it within managed security operations and wider cybersecurity work, including policy tuning, alert triage and incident response.
Proofpoint handles email security, phishing protection and business email compromise risk, and matters most where supplier impersonation or Microsoft 365 email exposure is a real threat. We run it alongside Microsoft 365 controls for layered email defence, tuning policy and user impact and reviewing threats on an ongoing basis.
NAKIVO backs up and recovers virtualised infrastructure, physical servers, Microsoft 365 and cloud workloads, and belongs in the resilience conversation wherever immutability, backup monitoring and recovery readiness count. We run it as the backup platform behind our backup and disaster recovery work, including immutability configuration, restore testing and recovery-readiness evidence.
IBM provides enterprise storage and data resilience for organisations with large data estates, demanding performance needs or strict recovery commitments. We design and operate IBM storage within infrastructure modernisation and backup architecture, from capacity planning and performance review to data-protection design and lifecycle support.
Lenovo underpins endpoint and server environments where reliable hardware and clean lifecycle management matter, across managed IT, fleet decisions and infrastructure refresh. We procure, deploy, manage and support Lenovo fleets and server infrastructure, including standardisation, lifecycle planning, warranty management and refresh cycles.
Huntress adds managed detection and a human-led security operations layer across endpoints and Microsoft 365 identity, backed by a round-the-clock security operations centre that investigates and triages threats. We run it as part of managed security operations, where continuous monitoring and expert review strengthen what endpoint tooling catches on its own.
Every platform working as one environment
Your technology does not operate in separate vendor silos. Identity affects endpoint security. Network policy affects cloud access. Backup design depends on infrastructure and application requirements.
We bring those dependencies together, so your team has fewer vendor relationships to coordinate directly, one accountable engineering partner when platforms intersect, and decisions made with the whole environment in view.
We work across every platform in your environment, so issues get solved end to end.
Recommendations are grounded in platforms our engineers have deployed, secured and supported in real environments.
Licensing, renewals, hardware and support decisions are considered together rather than purchased in isolation.
Beyond our core partners
The partners above form the core of many environments we design and operate. They are not the limit of what we support.
Existing estates, specialist workloads, connectivity requirements and business constraints regularly involve technologies beyond those core relationships. This is the wider set our engineers integrate and support across a complete client environment.
How we choose a platform
We assess technology choices against the environment they need to support, not against vendor preference or a feature comparison alone. A platform can be technically excellent and still be the wrong choice if it adds complexity no one needs, cannot be supported properly, or does not match how the organisation works. Four questions decide whether something makes the list.
Easy to operate
Can the platform be operated reliably by the internal team, by us, or in a co-managed model? Vendor capability only counts if someone can run it well after deployment.
Security fit
Does it improve identity, access, endpoint, email, network or recovery posture? Security is considered as part of the decision, not bolted on afterwards.
Lifecycle and cost
Is it commercially sensible across licensing, support, renewal, hardware and future change? Total cost over the lifecycle matters more than the headline price.
Integration
Does it work cleanly with the surrounding Microsoft, security, network, cloud and infrastructure environment? Integration friction often decides whether a platform succeeds in practice.
Across our services
Each service brings together a different combination of partners and supporting technologies. Explore the service areas to see how those platforms are applied within a complete operating model.
