Managed Services – make IT stress free
For all but the largest enterprises, investing in in-house support capabilities for all deployed technologies is likely to be economically unviable – and a distraction from core activities. With Northdoor Managed Services providing support for key systems, companies can improve their focus on the core business, secure in the knowledge that the underlying technology is monitored, maintained and protected.
Economies of scale
In-house technical staff must usually spread their focus thinly across multiple technologies, making it difficult to maintain deep skills. By contrast, Northdoor’s technical team members benefit from intensive experience across multiple client environments, backed by ongoing training and certification, enabling them to truly master their domains of expertise.
Our economies of scale and expertise also enable Northdoor to eliminate clients’ concerns around holiday and sickness cover for key in-house staff, as well as reducing the direct costs of employment.

Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server empowers businesses to extract valuable insights from their data. However, managing and maintaining the underlying data repositories requires specialist technical skills. Northdoor has a dedicated SQL practice that offers a wealth of experience managing all supported versions and components of Microsoft SQL Server.
IBM Power Systems
Many mid-sized to large companies have IBM Power Systems servers and related storage technologies running alongside commodity hardware. These proprietary systems require specialist technical skills; particularly for smaller landscapes, it may not be economically viable to have dedicated full-time employees responsible for maintaining and managing them.
Microsoft Azure
As Microsoft’s cloud offering reaches maturity, more businesses are relying on Microsoft Azure as an open, flexible, enterprise-grade cloud computing platform. However, choosing the most appropriate platform for each IT service you run, designing hybrid cloud environments, planning and executing transformation projects, and maintaining future services may stretch your existing internal capabilities beyond their limits.
IBM License Metric tool
In a world where practically every aspect of managing an IT environment has increased in complexity, it may be difficult for smaller organisations to get the best possible value out of their investments in software. When it comes to IBM software, significant benefits are available to organisations that understand sub-capacity licensing – but ensuring the correct licensing and maintaining audit readiness can be challenging.
IBM Guardium
Investing in in-house support capabilities for all deployed technologies is likely to be economically unviable – and a distraction from the core business. Companies that wish to benefit from IBM Guardium can engage Northdoor to provide the technology as a fully managed service. Northdoor Managed Services for IBM Guardium provides access to expert monitoring and incident management within rigorous SLAs.
Data Protection Advisory Service (DPO)
Northdoor’s Data Protection Advisory Service enables organisations to access the expert skills they need rapidly, cost-effectively and within a flexible annual subscription.
The service is tailored to each organisation’s precise needs and provides a comprehensive set of activities to help address compliance with data protection regulations.
Backup As A Service
Data is the most valuable enterprise asset, so protecting it should be a top priority. However, the complexity of typical backup arrangements can make it difficult to maintain success rates and keep control of costs. Many organisations today struggle to manage multiple different backup technologies and lack confidence that their data would be recoverable in the event of a disaster. Northdoor’s Backup-as-a-Service offering solves these issues, providing consistency and certainty at a low cost.
Continuous Supply Chain Monitoring
Northdoor offers a managed service that provides insights from a hacker’s standpoint by examining publicly available data for your domain and key suppliers to address the limitations of traditional approaches to supply chain security. The service covers various aspects, including monthly full-featured cyber profiler reports, monthly guided specialist reviews, access to consultants, scheduled remedial activity, and consultant support to address known vulnerabilities and reconfigure the attack surface where possible. The pricing is comparable to an annual pen test but comes with the added benefits of continuous, 24 x 7 x 365 reporting and comprehensive cyber risk management, making it a cost-effective cyber security managed service for your supply chain.
