iT1: A Trusted Partner for On-premise or Cloud-based Solutions

In the quagmire of the covid-19 pandemic, there has been a significant shift in how businesses are conducted today, and the associated changes will stay for the foreseeable future. Many international companies–several of whom were already offering hybrid working opportunities–have allowed their employees to telework. This rise of remote working has left many firms scrambling to maintain their cyber security protocols while employees work from their homes. Businesses are also looking for cost reductions in day-to-day operations, and IT engineers seek flexibility, ease of management, and redundancy. The solution to such multifarious challenges lies in cloud technology. While enterprises rely on the cloud as a repository for backups, many aren’t certain how to best leverage it to bolster their digital transformation strategies. Rising to this occasion is iT1, a cloud solution provider that helps organizations identify the value proposition of the cloud, conduct risk reduction and compliance assessment, and implement the best cloud solutions according to their workload and operations. “As experts of the cloud offerings with regards to Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), we help our customers better understand the cost structure and options of each cloud provider,” begins Wil Herrera, CTO of iT1.

iT1 was established by two very successful account executives in 2003 as a consulting firm for local businesses. To address the growing demand of its clients for cloud solutions, the company ventured into developing efficient and customized products. Fast forward to today, iT1 is a behemoth in on-premise or cloud solutions and provides comprehensive IT services. IT1 ensures the implementation of best-suited solutions by diving deep into its customers’ requisites and identifying the inadequacy in their infrastructure. The company has a 24*7 Network Operations Center (NOC), Help desk, and Lab services to deploy pre-configured equipment and a warehouse to store and deploy assets on clients’ demands.

The implementation process of cloud solutions commences with assessing the client’s business vision, workloads, environments, application workloads and dependencies, user access, and data flow. During this assessment, its teams determine which of the client’s applications could be migrated to the cloud with minimal modifications. “We know the cloud landscape very well and our engineers also comprehensively understand clients’ challenges. Our biggest strength comes from our ability to understand our customers’ business needs and develop a blueprint for their cloud solution, whether that is cloud-based or hybrid,” adds Herrera. With their long-standing expertise in Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and AWS, iT1’s teams work as subject matter experts and help their clients cost-effectively deploy the solutions.
