Data-Centric Managed Services
Accelerate outcomes with a data-first approach
We put data at the centre of a managed services strategy that improves your maturity and drives real business outcomes.
Discover the difference data-centricity makes
We believe managed services should do more than keep your IT infrastructure operational. They should cultivate and support the pivotal role data plays in your organisation, improving the way your business collects data rather than simply optimising applications themselves.
That’s why we take a data-centric approach to managed services. We manage and improve your entire ecosystem — not just a single application — enabling you to accelerate data outcomes and meet business goals.
What does this look like in practice? It means proactively monitoring your data through a centralised solution, the 5Y Unified Platform, so we can make improvements regardless of which applications you use. You still get first-line support and incident management, but you also benefit from an overarching strategy that improves your entire data infrastructure and accelerates your digital transformation journey.
Break free from application silos
A data-centric approach to managed services helps you break free from application silos that are holding your business back. Rather than managing an application in isolation and trying to bend its capabilities to your needs, we look after your entire data ecosystem as a whole, choosing the best solutions for your business.
By using a data-centric approach, you’re no longer tied to a single software provider. You’re free to use the best solution, irrespective of your existing applications, so you can build an ecosystem that produces exceptional data — the kind your business needs to thrive.

A better ecosystem means better data quality
Data quality is a major problem for CIOs and anyone else responsible for a business’ data assets. But data quality is hard to improve when you’re focused on the applications themselves and not the bigger picture.
A data-centric approach is the solution. When you stop managing each application in isolation and start looking at your ecosystem as a whole, the quantity and quality of your data improve significantly. Put data at the heart of your strategy, in other words, and you ensure your data is ready to achieve your business objectives, whatever they are.
We apply our data-first approach to the full suite of managed services. Your business will benefit from proactive support, advice and expertise in the following areas:
