For some organisations, implementing IT infrastructure is not a priority or a possibility, and as such alternative solutions can be needed. At Embrace Digital, we offer hosted infrastructures that can house your processing configuration, allow your operators to connect to perform user-based tasks such as data validation and output to your line of business application using your preferred method.
A system implementation on a hosted infrastructure is not too different from an on-premise infrastructure. There are a some more considerations around connectivity, environmental ownership and responsibilities and of course security is always a top priority.
Embrace Digital is ISO27001 certified with BSI acting as our external auditors. Our certification extends to all areas of our business, to include any hosted infrastructure and working with you to ensure that any implementations are secure and compliant is of the utmost importance.
We always operate on a separate Test and Production environment model basis, with strict controls in place about how data and configuration is managed and controlled. All hosted servers are via Microsoft Azure in UK datacentres.
As part of the specification process, we detail out an extended infrastructure section which contains all the usual detail, plus any additional considerations around inbound connections for validation PCs and inbound and outbound data transfer methods.
We set up the Test environment and liaise with your designated point of contact to set up any inbound/outbound connections as required. The infrastructure is tested too, including sending and receiving of data, PC connections for Validation and user access.
Once the testing cycle is complete, the Production set up is progressed as per the Test set up, with all components being unit tested and end to end testing prior to go-live.
Moving forward the hosted environment is supported and managed by the our IT and Support teams, with continual monitoring in place.
