Planning
- Planning service
- Yes
- How the planning service works
- When architecting infrastructure solutions, our starting point is your business, your challenges, your objectives. Our focus is on enabling productivity, removing high cost investment cycles and increasing flexibility. When designing a technical solution, we consider all the technical and practical implications, including how users access applications and data; along with the available or required connectivity and networking. We will assess the comparative benefits of on premise infrastructure versus fully cloud based or hybrid solutions. This will include a range of specific considerations such as security, data retention, data protection, resilience, integration – and, of course, cost. Our design teams will draw-up an intelligent solution that brings elegance as well as effortlessness to your business.

We take a consultative approach to all its engagements. As part of any Cloud migration, a Technical Design Architect (TDA) will be appointed to understand the needs and requirements. The TDA will work with you to fully understand the scope and technical challenges and translate this into design and approach to meet your needs. Through this process, the TDA will also engage with the Project Delivery team to ratify the solution and migration approach before being put forward as the final part of the proposal.
Once the project is agreed you will be assigned a Projects team which includes a Project Manager and Lead Engineer (Will be complemented by other engineers depending on skills requirement). The project team will then lead the deployment through the agreed phases through to completion. - Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services

Fighting climate change
We recognise that digitalisation has an important role to play in the transition to a climate-smart society, while IT companies such as Advania have a responsibility to help minimise the negative climate impact that the use of IT entails.
We focus on taking responsibility for our own operations as well as influencing Buyers on all call-off contracts under the framework to make more sustainable choices, for example moving away from the linear IT Hardware model of produce, use and dispose to a more circular approach including responsible reuse-and-recycle procedures at the end of the hardware lifecycle.
Carbon Emissions: We are committed to continuous reduction of our carbon footprint. Our Environmental Policy includes provisions around minimising our emissions by a smart approach to travel and printing, lowering the use of electricity, water, heating, and promoting climate change and sustainability charity/community work. We are aiming to reduce this by 5% over the next year and are committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
Hybrid Working: We have implemented 80% working from home policy for all employees. Where needed/agreed with the Buyers, Advania resources will be working onsite.
Travel: We encourage staff to use technology wherever possible. Where travel to the client site is required, we will require all staff to consider alternative transport options and optimise car sharing.
Reducing IT waste: Our Equipment Recycling Policy ensures hardware devices like laptops and desktops are managed throughout their lifecycle. When devices are replaced, they are either transferred to our recycling centre or donated to local charities post data sanitisation.
Sustainability Training: Our proactive approach towards environmental stewardship incorporates training on sustainable practices at all operational levels. We actively raise staff awareness through online training on environmental impacts and sustainability benefits.
