The Significance of our achievements for our customers
Demonstrated expertise:
Our track record in successful Azure migrations underscores our team’s capability to ensure seamless transitions with minimal disruption to our clients’ operations.
This can be demonstrated by our recent partnership with a FTSE 100 energy and health firm. The partnership delivered enhanced Azure efficiency, security, and cost optimization across their 45 business units and 17,000 IT users. The customer commented:
“Logicalis has proven their commitment to our common customers’ business outcomes. Through strong partnership, leveraging their top tier team they are delivering critical results for our customers around governance, security, cost optimization and modernization of their legacy and cloud capabilities”.
Azure Infrastructure Go to Market Manager.
Innovative Solutions:
We consistently leverage cutting-edge technologies to optimize performance, enhance security, improve cost-efficiency, and increase scalability for our clients.
This was highlighted recently when Logicalis implemented an innovative Gen-AI powered MXDR and intelligent SOC solution for a leading global gaming lifestyle brand, leveraging Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, and Security Copilot. This integrated approach provided multi-layered protection across the customer’s hybrid cloud environment, encompassing over 1,700 endpoints, third-party SaaS apps, and the entire M365 ecosystem, resulting in significant business value and ROI.
Client-Centric Approach:
Our solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of each business, ensuring they achieve their strategic objectives effectively. Here’s a great example:
Logicalis successfully addressed a leading health and toxicology company’s critical security challenges through a comprehensive managed security service. By implementing Azure Migrate and Modernization Program (AMMP), conducting specialized assessments, and leveraging Microsoft 365 and Azure services, Logicalis significantly enhanced the customer’s security posture and operational efficiency. The partnership exemplifies how a holistic, customer-centric strategy can transform security challenges into opportunities for operational excellence and establish a robust foundation for sustained growth and innovation.
Continually delivering new capabilities and specializations
Logicalis continues to build out capabilities with Microsoft across five solution designations: Security, Azure Infrastructure, Modern Work, Data and AI, and Digital and App Innovation.
We launched our global Intelligent Security Portfolio in June, featuring our recently developed, Global Microsoft MXDR solution and managed service.
Additionally, we have renewed our Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) membership, solidifying our position within an elite group of global experts dedicated to sharing best-in-class solutions to enhance customer security.
Growing in Cloud and Security
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our performance metrics. Logicalis’s Azure Consumed Revenue (ACR) has grown by 42% year-on-year. This growth demonstrates our ability not only to maintain security for our customers but also to increase efficiencies and streamline costs effectively.
These achievements underscore our commitment to delivering exceptional value to our clients through our partnership with Microsoft. I am confident that this success will serve as a foundation for continued growth and innovation in FY25!
