Partnership approach

We select providers based on project needs, not name recognition.

We consider your existing investments, technical fit, location and capacity needs, licensing model and operational ownership. We do not publish a fixed list of preferred brands; proposed products, providers and each party's responsibilities are stated clearly in the proposal.

Boundaries of responsibility

We separate responsibilities from the outset in multi-provider environments.

Across architecture, implementation, integration, security and operations, we distinguish Hosted Technology's responsibilities from those of each provider. Included services are stated clearly in the proposal and contract.
