- End-of-contract process
-
If at the end of the contract you wish to move to a new system we would work with you and your new supplier to define an exit strategy so that your organisation could continue to operate with minimal disruption over the transition period. There is no “one size fits all” approach as every organisation’s circumstances are different, but by working together we are confident that the handover can be achieved to your satisfaction.
We would be happy to work with any supplier to support migration to the new system, and can help with extracting data in a number of formats and providing advice and guidance as to the structure of the original data files. Once the migration has been confirmed we would decommission the old site. We would run through our final exit checklist to ensure all non-required data and access is removed from our systems before notifying the client of the same.

AWS currently provides SLAs for several services. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of AWS’s product offerings, SLAs are best reviewed directly on their website via the links below:
• Amazon EC2 SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2-sla/
• Amazon S3 SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/s3-sla
• Amazon CloudFront SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/sla/
• Amazon Route 53 SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/route53/sla/
• Amazon RDS SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/rds-sla/
• AWS Shield Advanced SLA: https://aws.amazon.com/shield/sla/

The implementation of our Drupal CMS product can play a vital role in supporting efforts to fight climate change and deliver environmental benefits by promoting sustainable practices, educating stakeholders, facilitating collaboration, encouraging sustainable behavior, and tracking environmental performance. By leveraging the power of digital communication and engagement, organisations can mobilise stakeholders to support environmental protection and improvement initiatives, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient future.Covid-19 recovery
Compuco recognised the challenges brought about Covid-19 and understands the likelihood of continued uncertainties in the near future. However, with over half of its team already accustomed to remote work, Compuco was well-equipped to support organisations during the main outbreak. It seamlessly transitioned to a fully distributed model, leveraging its experience to assist clients in their own remote work transitions. Compuco conducted client sessions, feedback, and training remotely using high-quality tools, resulting in increased efficiency and client engagement.
In a post-COVID era, Compuco will continue to operate primarily in a distributed manner, capitalising on the efficiency and flexibility it offers. Remote client interactions and collaboration will remain prominent, with a continued emphasis on utilising the best available tools for effective communication and project management. The company has incorporated lessons learned during the pandemic to further optimise its operations and support clients in navigating potential future disruptions.
Implementing Drupal can add social value by providing online platforms for job creation, community support, organisational resilience, health promotion, and workplace adaptation during the COVID-19 recovery process. These platforms can serve as valuable resources for individuals, communities, organisations, and businesses striving to navigate the challenges and uncertainties brought about by the pandemic.Tackling economic inequality
