Case studies

The Challenge

Datamonitor, part of the Informa Group, is a premium business information and market analysis company that assists clients with operational and strategic decision-making. Its services are delivered online via user friendly web platforms and are often integrated into clients’ portals for onward dissemination throughout the organisation. The efficient and effective delivery of these products and services is essential to ensuring that its clients can achieve their commercial goals. The requirement for constant, secure online access led the company to selectively outsource the management of these business critical applications and infrastructure to Attenda, using Attenda's flexible and scalable cloud platform.

The Solution

Attenda is managing the global availability of the Datamonitor service 24 x 7 and providing the necessary confidence that the research data is secure and can only be accessed by authorised Datamonitor clients. Attenda re-architected and implemented the infrastructure, including a hardware refresh, enabling Datamonitor to upgrade their website and application software. The new solution has provided the agility and additional capacity required to integrate several business acquisitions.

Business benefits

• High availability critical applications management
• Increased capacity to launch new websites
• Agility to integrate new business acquisitions
• Skills and support to free up internal IT resources
• Efficient and effective delivery of premium information services
• 24 hour service availability to match global business needs
