Local fluency allows companies to deploy platforms in Asia without fear.
Professional Services
In Tokyo our specialist consulting team delivers business and language fluency.
We specialise in bringing companies from Europe and the US to Japan by helping to negotiate the business and technical obstacles that are unique to the region. We identify barriers to implementation of integrated solutions using our in-house technical experience.
The results we achieve are tangible and measurable – lowering costs (both OPEX and Capex), reducing time spent managing day-to-day operations and enabling IT to better support business.
Proof of Concept
Building a micro instance of the ultimate environment is the only way to create a stable production deployment. Applications are typically deployed across 10 or more servers to provide load sharing, performance and redundancy. A POC can be delivered quickly on twin servers providing solutions that can be destruction tested, to deliver certainty and mitigate the costs and risks of production deployments. This iterative approach provides room to re-think designs as new information is uncovered.
Because experiencing the reality of a deployment is the best way to deliver knowledge, we to work with clients to build scale models and working environments to get it right.
At A24 we have a proven methodology applied specifically to help define pain points and identify potential architecture improvements. Companies are best positioned to recognise existing deployment limitations but identifying specifics is hard from within. An external perspective brings a wider experience and product knowledge in the cloud vertical.
A24 Four-Stage Methodology enables us to deliver the right solution for your organisation.
