transACT Technology Solutions
Cloud Virtuosos Adept at Building Lasting Customer Relationships

As the backbone of our current data-driven, app-based tech ecosystem, cloud technology has witnessed immense changes in the past year alone. Finance, retail, media and entertainment are but a few sectors that have adopted new-age cloud technologies to compute, store, and analyse data. Yet, most public cloud solution vendors proficient in legacy proprietary systems still follow a walled garden approach to the services they provide. Understanding that hybrid and multi-cloud computing are on the verge of breaking the barriers between public cloud providers, transACT—a global IT services and solutions provider—helps enterprises stay ahead of the competition and forge their own cloud journey. To empower companies, transACT provide a range of in-house services and solutions, verified by AWS, which include transACT’s Data to Cloud Service, as well as transACT’s cloud management portal (TCMP) — delivering cost reduction, security, governance, and optimisation across multi-cloud environments within a single dashboard.

The transACT team are specialist AWS consulting partners centred on delivering cloud solutions and providing innovative services that guarantee results. As an agile, fast-paced organisation, the company has nurtured this dedicated in-house team to provide best-in-class cloud serviceswhile adapting rapidly to shifts in the tides of technology. “We are a leading technology company with a wealth of public cloud experience. transACT provides its own suite of products for cloud, including our Data to Cloud Service, FaaS (finOps as a Service), and Vision (Finance & Data analytics) to bolster the operational efficiencies of a global customer base,” says Gordon Scobie, Director of Technology. The company’s premier offerings include AWS QuickSight Services, AWS Well-Architected Review (WAR) services, and cloud storage services. Moreover, transACT has achieved the AWS Storage Partner Competency. This designation recognises that transACT provides proven technology to help customers successfully execute their storage goals on AWS.

As a partner with deep domain and consulting experience, transACT can help enterprises adopt and deploy complex storage solutions in one or more core categories, including backup & recovery, primary storage, or Business Continuance/Disaster Recovery (BCDR). The company can also quickly and cost-effectively restore and migrate data from the backup system that created it with transACT’s Data to Cloud Service. “We can restore media without using the original hardware or software, effectively providing your data in an accessible format,” adds Scobie. Additionally, clients can recover and process their data by utilising either transACT’s ISO certified cloud facilities or on-site with the company’s rapid-deploy restore systems.

Likewise, transACT’s Well Architeched Review (WAR) framework is designed to help organisations build and maintain operations in the cloud while adhering to best practices based on operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimisation. The company’s highly trained and accredited team works with enterprises to create an insightful assessment of their workflows while identifying high-risk areas and providing suitable mitigation and remediation strategies. Staying true to building outstanding customer relationships, the team also helps clients access any potential funding available from AWS to drive their cloud projects to success.

The transACT FaaS (FinOps as a Service) platform brings together technology, business, and finance teams by simplifying the financial complexity of cloud management. The company provides a FinOps framework designed to access, analyse, and report the costs of public cloud usage such that enterprises have actionable data that helps reduce expenses, improves budget planning, and increases organisational value. Moreover, the transACT cloud management portal (TCMP) delivers the fundamentals of a FinOps framework by providing centralised governance for multi-cloud platforms.

The company’s broad range of bespoke cloud services has proven invaluable for several clients. For example, Ascential—a global media company—intended to overhaul their cloud strategy and deliver dynamic data to customers worldwide. Working together with Ascential, transACT provided its TCMP (transACT Cloud Management Portal) to facilitate governance over the cloud environment as part of a FinOps framework. With TCMP, Ascential could benchmark compliance of their cloud environment against an excess of 35 certifications; these included CIS Benchmark, CSA, NIST, PCI DSS, and the like. “Ascential needed visibility and accountability across the cloud environment; this included cost, resourcing, security and compliance. We implemented TCMP and now use a single interface to manage our multi-cloud platforms, delivering immediate ROI,” says Lee Freeman, VP of Technology at Ascential.

As a global IT solutions and services provider, transACT has offices in Seattle, Dublin, St Albans, Gibraltar, Scotland, and is headquartered in London. With a prominent global presence, the enterprise will continue to innovate and deliver new-age connectivity and transformative IT solutions that incorporate cloud, digital workplace, and traditional IT infrastructure.
