Core Benefits

Advent One has a team of expert consultants with considerable experience across multiple technology domains.

IT Strategy

Advent One provides advice and support to build an effective IT strategy to guide the implementation and transformation of technology solutions that align with the organisation’s business objectives. From information and data collation to defining IT requirements, the base of any strategy is to understand the technology gaps between current capabilities and executable and deliverable ecosystems.

A well-defined IT strategy is essential to ensure deployment roadmaps and environments are fit for purpose.

Project and Program Management →

Transformation is essential for organisations to remain competitive. However, the success of that transformation is often challenged due to the nature and complexity of ever-shifting ecosystems of people, processes, and technology.

Programs and projects are the core deliverables of any digital transformation. Advent One distinguishes program management as managing specific programs that are mapped to business objectives to improve organisational performance. In comparison, project management is the process of leading dedicated projects to achieve specific outputs that are part of an overall program of outcomes.

Advent One works with IT teams to oversee and coordinate projects and other strategic initiatives throughout the organisation while ensuring organisational change continues to be driven by agile transformations. This support includes helping implement DevOps practices and principles for collaboration, team autonomy and empowerment. Advent One aims to bring agile and DevOps to life for IT teams across sizable programs and individual projects through tailoring programs to the specific requirements and opportunities of the business.

Advisory and Architecture →

Digital transformation can be daunting, putting new demands and expectations on business systems and architecture. Advent One work with internal IT teams and their environments from an operational focus to become more development-orientated. We take a commercial approach that aligns with the objectives of the organisation.

Advent One provides IT consulting expertise and experience across every facet of its customers’ technology requirements. Advent One’s comprehensive ecosystem of best-of-breed partners ensures its customers have access to specialist technology architecture capabilities that accelerate technology transformation to future-proof the foundation of the business’ infrastructure architecture through:

IT strategy and cloud transformation
Cloud migration
IT architecture and design
Integration design and implementation
Code development.

Staff augmentation →

Staff augmentation is a valuable tool for any IT team to respond to, but not many understand the different types of staff augmentation and how to choose the suitable model.

With staff augmentation, Advent One customers have the opportunity to choose the candidates and manage them while it manages all organisational and administrative requirements. Businesses collaborate with their augmented team in the same way they would with in-house developers. In contrast, with Managed Services, Advent One takes care of all aspects throughout the project’s development – from structuring the team to managing all processes.

Leverage funding to build Minimum Viable Product / Proof of Concept →

Advent One works closely with vendors and business partners to plan, develop and execute a wide range of use cases. With over 80 use cases available, we have access to proven methodologies across many applications that can be used as a starting point for digital transformation projects. Aligning projects with proven applications and environments, Advent One has considerable leverage when negotiating with relevant IT vendors to provide seed funding to get digital transformation projects off the ground.

Adopt enterprise-class open-source technologies and embrace open standards to help scale the business →

Enterprise open-source technology adoption is on the rise for leading IT teams. While the development of proprietary software has advantages, Advent One consider open-source solutions the ideal vehicle for consistent innovation – from the server room to public clouds to the edge and beyond. Not only are enterprises tapping open-source to access tried and tested innovation, but they are also integrating it into the fabric of their digital projects to run production systems. Despite early concerns about the security of open-source software, a decade of industry support and customer acceptance has dramatically increased its security over the years.

Advent One utilise and can advise on a range of enterprise-class open-source technologies that cover most digital transformation projects. From the flexibility to scale, quickly and cost-effectively, across architecture, infrastructure and environments to application development and automation, Advent One can advise on the right tools for your plans and goals and support you in developing and executing a wide array of projects.

Decisions on IT architecture, technologies and relevant platform vendors can be made confidently across the three principal pillars of systems in most organisations:

Systems of Record – These systems enable the core capabilities necessary for a business to run. These capabilities are typically standard across an industry and, as such, are not unique. These systems do not change regularly as they commonly use vendor-specific products, and an organisation’s core capabilities often don’t change.

Systems of Differentiation – While core capabilities may not vary from one business to another in the same industry, business processes do. These applications represent the processes that make an organisation unique and are rarely accommodated by out-of-the-box vendor platforms. These business processes may not change regularly, but they tend to change faster than the core capabilities.

Systems of Innovation – This layer is the fastest moving, where innovations and technologies are tested and deployed. Innovation typically includes ad hoc proof-of-concept applications that are rapidly developed and then manually deployed and tested.
