It is matter of immense responsibility and pride for all of us at Locuz. Sanjeev should be credited with the fact that his decision then helps Samit stay healthy thru tough times like these.

Every single meeting I had in the last two months – that I did not post anything on my blog – was about IT heads saying they have their eyes fixed on the ball – doing more or same but certainly with less.

Remote Infrastructure Management is the surest way. But this can be misleading too. It is extremely important to know what capabilities one should look for in the RIM partner. Let me offer a few tips (not in any order and none being optional) -

1. RIM partner should be able to offer flexible models
2. Should have deep Network and Systems Integration skills
3. Be specialized in Security
4. Contribute in transformational projects for Business IT alignment
5. Offer best practices and have delivery Centre Certified
6. Introduce Automation and Standardization – processes and delivery
7. Should be able to co-locate systems closest to the Delivery team
8. Virtual staff augmentation of highest quality
9. Contribute to Architecture decisions
10. Innovate (and can mean so much)
11. Tools – best of breed
12. Improving Datacentre efficiency for power and space
13. Consolidate and optimize the network, systems and storage
14. Mitigate all risks connected with Business Services availability
15. Finally bring cost down by 20% in the first year

Our customers have chosen us for these reasons.

Conclusion – RIM Services is the way forward to better manage IT Infrastructure while reducing operational costs.

I will have a note from a customer who is keen to share the experience on my next post.

Cheers!

We are not responsible for this

But then are taking the responsibility of innovating with our customers who will eventually brave this crisis. At times like these organisations are seeking partnerships that will cut cost right from the day of engagement and not thru projects that will give returns over the medium to long term.

Our business models and methodologies are very compelling and made with customers in mind for good times and to stay smiling at bad times.

You will not have to stall a critical IT project but speak to us; we will deliver all of that to you as service and feel free to call it SaaS, HaaS or Cloud.

Our delivery for Selective Outsourcing will be Integratable to your existing Enterprise systems because of our belief in Adaptive Enterprise and unique SOI/SOM methodology. We will deploy your services over an orchestration layer and manage it thru SLA driven high availability, security and performance from our IDC at Chennai which is among the best in India.

OR

A model that delivers SLA performance to manage your existing environment leveraging our RIM (Remote Infrastructure Management) capabilities combined with superior levels of technology, processes and service delivery automation. You may spend 20-30% lower.

Spend less and run Business- IT dashboard (see to believe) with improved analysis of root cause, event correlation and problem management.

OR

Give away your DR problems to us. We are very special when it comes to offering you Managed DR.

We are spending lot of time in thinking and piloting on how else we could innovate. IdM/SSO is available as SaaS with us now; more of such innovation is going to be soon rolling out. May be we could co-create for your environment. Let us talk.

Cheers!
