Our approach to helping buyers implement cloud hosting or software services uses a comprehensive, step-by-step strategy designed to ensure a seamless transition and maximised operational efficiency. Initially, we engage with our clients to thoroughly understand their specific needs, objectives, and the current state of their IT infrastructure. This understanding allows us to tailor our cloud solutions precisely to their requirements.
We then proceed to system design and assurance, where we map out the architecture that best supports the client's operational goals, ensuring that the proposed solution is robust, scalable, and secure. Throughout this process, we provide expert advice on choosing the most suitable systems and vendors, taking into consideration the client’s budget, scalability needs, and long-term strategic goals.
Our team offers detailed planning around cloud data management and metadata cataloguing, ensuring that data is not only migrated efficiently but also structured in a way that supports easy access, compliance, and future scalability.

Our service help buyers migrate to the cloud or between cloud services by adopting a strategic, personalised approach tailored to each buyer's unique requirements and objectives. We start by conducting a thorough assessment of the buyer's current IT infrastructure, data architecture, and operational needs. This initial analysis allows us to identify the most suitable cloud platform(s) that align with the buyer’s specific goals, whether it’s AWS, Azure, or a private cloud solution.
We emphasise detailed planning and execution, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations. Our team of experts guides buyers through every step of the migration process, from the initial planning stages to the final implementation. This includes the selection of the appropriate migration tools and methodologies, data transfer, system integration, and application deployment, all while ensuring data integrity and security are maintained.
To ensure a smooth transition, we also provide comprehensive support for metadata cataloguing and cloud data management, helping buyers structure and optimise their data for cloud environments. This not only facilitates easier access and management post-migration but also enhances compliance and governance. - Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services

- How the quality assurance and performance testing works
-
Our service ensures the highest quality assurance and performance testing for buyers by implementing a comprehensive, multi-layered testing strategy tailored to their specific cloud environments and applications. We begin with an in-depth analysis of the buyer’s system requirements and operational objectives to establish clear quality benchmarks and performance metrics.
We use industry leading and proven tools and methodologies to conduct extensive testing across various stages of the cloud migration and deployment process. This includes functional testing to verify that all system components operate according to specifications, and non-functional testing to assess system performance under different conditions, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security.
Performance testing is a critical component of our quality assurance process. We simulate real-world scenarios to evaluate how systems perform under peak loads, identify bottlenecks, and optimise resource utilisation. This ensures that the cloud infrastructure is not only resilient but also efficient and cost-effective.
Throughout this process, we provide detailed reports and feedback, offering actionable insights that allow buyers to make informed decisions regarding system enhancements. Our goal is to empower buyers with a robust, high-performing cloud solution that meets their business needs, supports seamless operations, and delivers an optimal user experience.

Fighting climate change
Envitia has implemented a multifaceted approach that aligns with the UK Government's 25 Year Environment Plan and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Through its Corporate Social Value Plan, Envitia has a clear plan to reduce its carbon footprint and achieve Net Zero by 2030. This commitment extends to investing in renewable energy sources such as solar installations, engaging in carbon offsetting projects with the Woodland Trust, and enhancing energy efficiency. Envitia is also transitioning to sustainable transportation options, advocating for a "train first" policy, and promoting the use of digital collaboration technologies to minimise unnecessary travel.
Envitia collaborates closely with the Environment Agency to fulfil the UK’s sustainability objectives, including flood risk management. This collaboration leverages Envitia's expertise in Cloud Support Services to make significant contributions to climate-focused projects. Additionally, Envitia is dedicated to improving energy efficiency through retrofitting and digital automation, and actively seeks to reduce energy, resource, and waste in all aspects of its operations.
Envitia's sustainable practices extend to its supply chain, where it drives down emissions by selecting suppliers based on their climate strategies and transparency in emission data. The company encourages remote work to reduce CO2 emissions from commuting and has closed several physical offices (moving to remote working by default) to support this initiative. Moreover, Envitia promotes a plant-rich, healthy food policy at company events, further underscoring its commitment to the environment.
By integrating these initiatives, Envitia not only aims to mitigate its environmental impact but also to inspire broader change, demonstrating leadership in sustainable practices and contributing to the global effort against climate change. Through its comprehensive strategy and collaborations, Envitia showcases how leveraging Cloud Support Services can be a powerful tool in the battle against climate change, setting a benchmark for environmental best practice in the technology industry.Covid-19 recovery
Envitia has played a pivotal role in supporting COVID-19 recovery efforts, leveraging its expertise in Cloud Support Services to foster resilience and provide meaningful solutions throughout the pandemic. The company's commitment to leveraging technology and innovation has been instrumental in mitigating the impact of COVID-19, prioritising public health, ensuring organisational continuity, and empowering individuals and businesses to overcome pandemic-induced challenges. Through offering permanent job opportunities to contractors seeking job security, retraining individuals for new careers, and implementing personal development plans, Envitia has contributed significantly to employment and skill development in the wake of the pandemic.
In addition to creating employment opportunities, Envitia has supported employees affected by COVID-19, adapting to remote work and reconfiguring office spaces to reduce anxiety upon return. The company's initiatives extend beyond its immediate operations, with contributions to local communities and support for organisations in adopting new ways of working. Noteworthy efforts include volunteering to repair and secure premises for a local Scout Group and the CEO's collaboration with the Army Reserves to source PPE and facilitate mass testing.
Envitia's approach to post-pandemic recovery encompasses a comprehensive support system for its workforce, including tripling the number of mental health first aiders and launching wellbeing initiatives. These measures underscore the company's dedication to the physical and mental health of its staff and their families, reflecting a holistic approach to pandemic recovery.
By adapting to the digital future, supporting skill development, and engaging in community and organisational support activities, Envitia exemplifies how Cloud Support Services can be a cornerstone of COVID-19 recovery strategies. The company's efforts in employment, community support, and health and wellbeing initiatives demonstrate a profound commitment to building resilience and supporting recovery in the face of global challenges.Tackling economic inequality
Envitia's approach to delivering Cloud Support Services plays a significant role in tackling economic inequality by fostering entrepreneurship, creating employment, and promoting inclusive growth across the UK. By integrating small businesses and social enterprises into its supply chain, Envitia engages with organisations like Social Enterprise UK to identify suitable partners and ensures prompt payment policies to support SME growth. This commitment extends to creating training opportunities and employing a workforce representative of the communities served, emphasising educational attainment through learning pathways and technical apprenticeships.
Envitia's dedication to supply chain resilience and delivering contracts is evident in its partnership with SMEs in the Horsham region and across the UK, aligning with the Government’s Levelling Up Agenda. By choosing to work with local SMEs for IT support, marketing, office supplies, and security, Envitia addresses economic inequality and fosters local economic development. The company's inclusive hiring practices ensure that a significant percentage of new hires come from outside the Southeast region, ensuring that digital skills are utilised nationwide.
Challenging the status quo in project execution and delivery, Envitia suggests new technologies, streamlines processes, and repurposes assets across projects to increase productivity for customers. This innovative approach promotes collaboration throughout the supply chain, reflecting Envitia's values and expectations for fairness and quality, as evidenced in part through its ISO 9001 accreditation.
Envitia consistently demonstrates a profound commitment to reducing economic disparities and contributing to economic growth and diversity. By leveraging cloud support services as a catalyst for change, Envitia not only enhances its operational efficiency and service delivery, but also plays a vital role in fostering economic equality and supporting the broader goal of inclusive growth across the UK.Equal opportunity
Envitia's approach to delivering Cloud Support Services is integrated with its commitment to creating equal opportunities and fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. Through its comprehensive Social Value Strategy, Envitia focuses on education and skill development, particularly targeting underserved communities. This includes scholarships, apprenticeships and internships for individuals from low-income backgrounds in the fields of data, cloud, and technology. By partnering with educational institutions and providing curriculum development, Envitia equips students with technical skills that are in high demand, thereby enhancing employability and reducing economic inequality.
Furthermore, Envitia supports small business growth by offering free access to its services for startups in economically disadvantaged areas, promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. Workshops and seminars on digital literacy and data analytics further contribute to community empowerment and continuous learning.
Envitia's commitment to equal opportunities extends to reducing the disability employment gap and tackling workforce inequality, as highlighted in its Equal Opportunities Policy. The company promotes equality for all staff and job applicants, with policies ensuring no pay inequality exists between gender or ethnicity, and annual bonuses are based on contributions rather than pay grade. Envitia supports the professional and personal development of its employees, including those with disabilities, through training schemes that cover both technical and soft skills.
The company's leadership actively promotes diversity in the workplace, with regular communication channels such as company-wide updates, and direct engagements with the CEO ensuring that the principles of equality and diversity are ingrained in the corporate culture. By showcasing the diversity of its workforce and the success of its inclusive policies through wider industry channels, Envitia influences its staff, suppliers, and customers, demonstrating the effectiveness of its approach to equal opportunities in the delivery of Cloud Support Services.Wellbeing
Envitia's approach to delivering Cloud Support Services incorporates support for the wellbeing of its workforce, showcasing a model that combines physical, mental, and emotional health initiatives. By partnering with organisations like West Sussex Mind (https://www.westsussexmind.org/), Envitia provides essential resources and support for mental health, fostering an environment where open discussions about wellbeing are encouraged. This commitment to health and wellbeing is further evidenced by a suite of initiatives designed to create a balanced and supportive work environment.
Envitia's flexible working policy is central to this approach, allowing employees to integrate work with their personal and family lives effectively, without a mandated requirement to work from the office. This policy is complemented by two Wellbeing days annually, encouraging employees to focus on activities that benefit their mental, physical, or emotional health. Additional benefits include free holidays on birthdays, a generous annual leave allowance, and mental health training for managers. The company also hosts Mental Health Breakfasts and talks during weekly company meetings, emphasising the importance of mental health awareness.
Physical wellbeing is supported through subsidised gym memberships, access to Perkbox benefits, and participation in exercise-related events like circuit training and charity marathons. To ensure continuous feedback and engagement, Envitia utilises Officevibe, a companywide application that gathers anonymous feedback from employees, offering insights into the company's morale and stress levels.
These comprehensive wellbeing initiatives highlight Envitia's holistic approach to employee health, demonstrating how cloud support services and corporate wellbeing can be effectively integrated. By prioritising the physical, mental, and emotional health of its workforce, Envitia not only enhances individual wellbeing but also fosters a more productive, engaged, and satisfied team, contributing to the overall success of the company and its services.
