  Fighting climate change

  Cloud computing dramatically reduces energy consumption by eliminating the need for expansive on-premises data centres that consume large amounts of energy to power and cool servers. Additionally, cloud computing employs virtualisation technology, which enables multiple virtual machines to operate on a single physical server, effectively replacing high-carbon physical servers with virtual counterparts. Moreover, at LiveWyer, our delivery and consultancy services are fully remote, removing the need to commute to physical locations and decreasing our carbon footprint.

  Covid-19 recovery

  Our services are flexible and adaptable for all business sizes, including smaller businesses that may have been impacted by COVID-19. We have previously worked with clients such as libraries and museums at the beginning and in the recovery period post-pandemic, both of which are industries greatly impacted by COVID-19. Our contracted delivery is delivered remotely, therefore taking into account anyone who is vulnerable or shielding. We recognise that the technology sector is experiencing significant growth, and we offer remote training services to anyone seeking to upskill and find new employment opportunities after COVID-19. LiveWyer prioritises the well-being of its remote workforce by ensuring comprehensive physical and mental health support, thus reducing the demand on health and care services.

  Tackling economic inequality

  LiveWyer offer specialised in-demand training in Cloud native areas which are highly sought after and often lead to higher paying salaries and jobs. Furthermore with our remote services we are able to employ and support engineers across the globe including in developing countries, deprived areas or countries affected economically by war. With our engineers living in Ukraine, we have provided additional infrastructure to assist with their day-to-day jobs, such as battery packs in case of power outages and routers to ensure communication and internet access.

  Equal opportunity

  At LiveWyer, all our services can be carried out 100% remotely, reducing the barriers disabled people face when interacting with our solutions. As an employer, we encourage our staff to develop new and relevant industry skills no matter their background whilst providing additional support to our disabled staff with additional training and examination support. Furthermore with our engineers living in Ukraine, we have provided additional infrastructure to assist with their day-to-day jobs, such as battery packs in case of power outages and routers to ensure communication and internet access. For our clients, we offer specialised technical training that can be delivered 100% remotely to help them upskill in Cloud Native technologies and prepare for industry-recognised qualifications such as the Certified Kubernetes Administration (CKA) certification.

  Wellbeing

  LiveWyer prioritises the well-being of its remote workforce by ensuring comprehensive physical and mental health support, which is crucial as these needs can be overlooked and exacerbated in remote working environments. To foster team bonding and provide a respite from the mental and physical demands of contract delivery, we organise annual company retreats where employees can relax and rejuvenate. In our contract delivery, LiveWyer implements agile methodologies in their services, ensuring development is carried out in short, iterative loops with feedback requested and incorporated early on. This helps reduce prolonged work and burnout and makes the work environment open and honest. Additionally, our services foster community integration through our involvement in open source projects. Using open source tools requires collaboration with a broader, technically diverse community, granting access to resources and collaborative opportunities that would otherwise remain inaccessible.
