Capabilities / Enterprise IT, Cloud and Data
Enterprise IT, Cloud and Data
YAVA designs, builds and runs the enterprise IT, cloud and data foundations that critical operations depend on: infrastructure, networks, identity, cloud, backup and the data platforms and dashboards built on top.
Problems we are brought in for
Where this work matters.
Fragile foundations
Infrastructure that has grown without design, where no one is sure what would happen in a failure.
Recovery that is assumed, not tested
Backups and recovery plans that have never been proven against a real recovery time.
Data that cannot be trusted
Reporting built on inconsistent data, so decisions are made despite the numbers rather than because of them.
Services
What sits under enterprise it, cloud and data.
Each service below is delivered on its own or combined with others. The infrastructure, cloud, identity and data foundations critical operations run on.
IT infrastructure
Design, deployment and lifecycle management of the servers, storage and systems an operation depends on.
Cloud environments
Public, private and hybrid cloud environments, designed for security, cost and resilience rather than defaults.
Networks
Networks designed and built for critical operations, including at difficult sites with limited connectivity.
Compute and storage
Right-sized compute and storage, on-premises, at the edge or in cloud, with recovery designed in.
Digital workplace
Secure, well-run end-user computing, collaboration and device management for distributed teams.
Identity and access management
Controlling who can access what, with multi-factor sign-in, privileged access control and clear joiner and leaver processes.
Backup and disaster recovery
Backup and recovery designed and tested against a real recovery time, not assumed to work.
IT service management
Service desk, change and incident processes that keep systems running and accountable.
Microsoft 365 and business systems
Configuration, security and integration of Microsoft 365 and core business systems.
Cybersecurity architecture
Security designed into the estate: segmentation, identity, monitoring and recovery, rather than added afterwards.
Data platforms
Data platforms that make operational data reliable, governed and available where it is needed.
Analytics and reporting
Reporting and analytics built on your operational reality, so numbers can be trusted and acted on.
Operational dashboards
Real-time dashboards that show the state of an operation clearly enough to make decisions from.
Applied AI and decision support
Applied AI and decision-support built for specific operational problems, with a human in control of consequential decisions.
Data governance and AI assurance
Governance for data and AI: quality, access, retention, and checks that automated decisions behave as intended.
How we deliver
Delivery.
We design against your operational reality, build with security and recovery in mind, and can run the estate against agreed service levels afterwards.
How it connects
Integration.
Infrastructure, cloud, identity and data are built to integrate with your applications and operational technology, so the foundation supports the whole operation.
YAVA advises, builds, integrates, deploys and supports. This capability is one part of a single lifecycle, not a standalone product.
Where we apply it
Relevant sectors.
Applicable experience
Evidence.
Representative work relevant to this capability. Some engagements are anonymised by client where confidentiality requires it.
YAVA does not publish invented clients, projects or results. Where a client is not named, the engagement is described by sector, region and year, with accurate technical detail.
FAQ
Common questions.
Do you work in cloud, on-premises or both?
Both, and at the edge. We design for the environment the operation actually runs in, including sites with limited or intermittent connectivity.
Can you run our infrastructure for us?
Yes. We provide managed services against agreed service levels, including monitoring, service desk and 24 hour cover where required.
Do you cover data and analytics as well as infrastructure?
Yes. We build the data platforms, governance and dashboards that make operational data reliable and usable.
Can YAVA work in remote or low-connectivity environments?
Yes. Much of our work is at remote and high-risk sites. We design for intermittent connectivity and can deploy field engineers where support on the ground is limited.
Who is accountable once the system is live?
The same team that advises and builds also supports the system in operation, so there is a single line of accountability to the client rather than a hand-off between firms.
How is a piece of work scoped and priced?
Each engagement is scoped and priced on its own terms, with the deliverables, service levels and assumptions agreed and written down before work begins.
Can you work alongside our existing suppliers?
Yes. We routinely deliver inside existing frameworks and alongside incumbent suppliers, including on systems built by others.
