Editor's Notes
Introduction to the presenting team
Digital technologies are offering businesses huge opportunities to innovate, experiment, and thrive in the digital economy.
The world of business technology and communications has changed. It is no longer a supporting function. CEO’s say that technology represents one of their biggest opportunities to create growth.
To survive and thrive in today’s digital economy, companies must treat their technology as part of the fabric of their business, a toolkit that is used to reimagine and reshape everything in the business – products, processes, supply chains and the way our people work.
Now when we think of digital we often think about digital media, social software, big data, IOT. These are the very visible technology innovations. But behind this, there are some foundations, infrastructure fundamentals that need to be in place to enable change and that hold UK businesses back.
Firstly, the business must be securely connected. High speed, reliable and secure connection to the internet, fixed and mobile, is an absolute must for a thriving modern business. But managing the dichotomy between being open and extensible to a world where everybody is mobile and connected, whilst keeping your data secure is a constant challenge.
Secondly, businesses must now be always on - businesses rely on their IT and communications infrastructure more than ever such that they cannot fail. It’s an uncertain world where cybercrime, terrorism and natural disaster all increase risk to business. And with IT systems no longer residing only within the walls of the company buildings (think public as well as private clouds) these systems become yet more complicated. We all know stories of the damage done to businesses and to brands by system downtime and data loss.
Thirdly, the workforce must be able to work anytime, anyplace, anywhere. It is now estimated that over half of the UK workforce works flexibly. Dispersed workforces need the tools and know how to be able to connect, communicate and collaborate as simply and effectively in their work-life as they do as consumers, to enable effective teamwork to get the job done.
UK businesses have huge amounts to gain – but struggle to find the partnerships and skills to grasp the opportunity, fighting an everyday battle between keeping systems going and delivering innovation.
And that’s where Daisy comes in.
We have built a business to help our customers to solve these problems and our partners to solve these for their customers. Getting your infrastructure and communications foundations right so that you are connected and protected, your critical processes, data and systems are always on 24x7 and your workforce agile to succeed. And in doing so freeing you up to focus on whatever digital means for your business.
We are an end to end business technology and communications service provider. Directly and through our extensive partner community we help UK businesses join the dots for a more converged world.
We have over 60,000 direct customers and 1,500 partners who buy services from us to sell on through their 3000 sales people to, we estimate, a further 500,000 customers, making us a very significant supporter of UK business.
Within this customer base, we do some pretty amazing things….
We have a very powerful commercial footprint in the UK, with an impressive array of highest level vendor accreditations showing our commercial and technical ability to build solutions for our customers backed by the worlds best vendors and service provider.
And we have significant experience and access to commercial frameworks for doing business in the public sector. Notably we are one of only two companies awarded all 11 lots on the latest PSN framework.
And here are more customers and partners who choose to place their critical services with Daisy. All, we hope, demonstrating that if these names trust us to deliver critical services for them, then you can trust us to help.
