Northstar
Northstar is the process and the result of aligning technology and IT best practices with your business goals.
What is Northstar?
‘Northstar’ is the one constant in a changing world. The brightest star. It’s the ultimate destination you’re moving towards.
For us, it's a way of describing how we think about IT partnerships: our process of deep, consultative analysis, identifying the destination, building that roadmap, and getting you where you need to be. We use our multi-accredited expertise and cloud technologies to achieve this end result.
We want our clients to reach an advanced level of IT maturity that drives progress towards their business goals and empowers their people. That's why this proactive process involves check-ins on a regular basis to ensure your business is making the most of technological advancements.
The three stages of cloud maturity
Crawl
You're achieving some progress towards your goals, but your IT isn't fully supporting you on this journey.
Walk
You're in the cloud and making headway across several areas, but you need to optimise costs and establish best practices.
Run
Your Northstar is being able to say you're at this third stage of advanced IT maturity across a range of business objectives.
Business wins
You tell us your goals, we provide the technology and expertise to get you to that ultimate destination: your Northstar.
