Whistl embarked upon the migration project with Attenda in August 2014 . It was a massive , complex data centre migration , and was executed incredibly smoothly ; from engagement to live operation it was completed within twelve months . The business was completely un-impacted by the migration , it was business as usual throughout the project . In fact , no one had even noticed the changeover , a real testament to the smooth running migration project .
Attenda and Whistl share the same ethos , a passion for delivering clients a quality service experience and genuine peace of mind . So , what of the future ?
Attenda ’ s Consulting , Advisory and Project Services ( CAPS ) services present a compelling proposition , to add further value , with a pick and mix of expertise at different levels . This provides the ability for Whistl to tap into and add to its team , with exactly the type of services required , when they are required ; and where a full time head would not be justified . Due to the agile nature of Whistl and the delivery mechanism , it sees real value in “ Smart People as a Service .”
Whistl and Attenda continue to share a joint approach and relationship towards delivering a premium service to Whistl clients and their customers , by building upon the foundations already laid down , to work together on strategy and advice .
Whistl continue to look at the business opportunity for Hybrid IT and public cloud services and recognise that Attenda ’ s capability to deliver private , shared and hyper-scale pubic cloud managed services , all managed by a single integrated Hybrid IT service management platform , will ensure that the right choices can be made , and the right solutions delivered , when the time is right .
As Lieneke Happel concludes , “ Our relationship with Attenda has gone from strength to strength over the last two years . We are very happy that we made the right choice for our strategic IT services partner .”
