The Challenge
As a global leader in providing SaaS-delivered business applications to the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) community, BIW Technologies needs to ensure that it can deliver highly available, cost-effective, scalable and secure solutions to its growing global client base.
The Solution
With varying client usage demands, large amounts of data and a requirement for proven disaster recovery capabilities, Attenda has implemented a virtualised IT infrastructure using the Attenda Visualisation Platform. With a typical 30% plus growth in client storage requirements, this platform enables BIW to scale rapidly without the need to over-provision large amounts of excess capacity. A separate platform hosted in Chicago gives American clients greater legal protection for their data.
Business benefits
- Outsourced management of SaaS Application
- Delivered on the Attenda Virtulisation Platform
- Confidence in 24 x 7 support and access to technology skills on demand
- 5 year fixed cost for IT infrastructure operation
