Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

The LumApps employee experience platform supports clients in their efforts to achieve their sustainability goals through raising internal awareness, targetted communication and supporting collaboration.XMA’s primary driver to promote and deliver cloud solutions within our customers is to support business efficiencies, both from an operations and environmental perspectives.

On-premise data centres are often inefficient due to their relatively small scale and are often unable to be modified due to the constraints of their environment and the relative financial implications of wholesale technical upgrades offered by leading-edge solutions.

XMA’s cloud solutions enable customers to transform and digitise their infrastructure, lowering costs and reducing the environmental impact of their IT infrastructure.

As part of our consultative approach, we will seek to identify where energy savings can be achieved, without compromising operational efficiency and the security of their data.

All of XMA’s cloud solutions are driven to offer Smarter Working practices to our customers. The ongoing development of hybrid-working will facilitate a customers’ ongoing need to reduce unnecessary travel to office locations, further reducing the workforce’s carbon impact. Office working will continue to return and our services also highlight how organisations can rationalise and prolong the life and value of technology assets, maximising efficiencies within office environments through controlling HVAC and lighting applications through tracking workspace utilisation and footfall.

Working hand-in-hand with our customers to provide a full cloud-focussed solution, we also provide ITAD services which facilitates customers to not only maximise any residual value of their current on-premise estate, but also proactively ensure all applicable hardware is repurposed or recycled, again further minimising carbon footprint and unnecessary use of raw materials
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

The LumApps' employee experience platform supports clients in their Covid Recovery efforts by providing them an effective means of communicating with employees, ensuring colleagues can find relevant policies and procedures, and reducing the cost of hire and onboarding.As the world recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic, this has accelerated the demand for flexible working, continued development in technology efficiencies and the assurance of security in infrastructure solutions, especially where they operate across a hybrid office/home working environment
XMA have developed cloud service offerings that consider all of these factors to provide customers with durable, sustainable and ultimately scalable solutions that take advantage of leading-edge technological improvements that form best practice in cloud-based working models
The relative success of national lockdowns to minimise the impact of the pandemic on the UK population demonstrated how technology can enable a total remote working service for office-based staff. However, as the solutions were understandably implemented at pace and often using legacy infrastructure, these solutions were often not optimised to deal with the demands of the workforce and the required security aspects. XMA’s cloud solutions are build from the ground up to consider these requirements, and we can enable customers to future-proof their cloud-based infrastructure to not only facilitate any future lockdowns, but ensure there is no compromise on security of their data and the durability of their solution.
