Anyone involved in managing multi-million pound capital projects or programmes should demand a lowest-risk solution. We know that the delivery of sophisticated, business-critical applications poses extremely exacting challenges and risks; we therefore set very high quality of service (QoS) requirements for hosting our core collaboration systems.

As this involves non-core expertise that complement our skills, we have a 'managed hosting' partner capable of creating and managing the sophisticated technical infrastructure needed to deliver our advanced technologies.

Attenda procures, configures, installs and maintains the necessary servers, routers, firewalls and other devices that our software architecture requires. Once configured, Attenda then provides dedicated bandwidth for BIW's applications, and connects the servers to the web via its own network, where the application is constantly monitored to ensure availability and optimal performance.

We takes advantage of Attenda's processes and experience to implement, maintain and update services in less time and with higher reliability than other hosting methods. Moreover, managed hosting ensures our technology services remain easily and seamlessly scalable. This is vital as our user base grows, as demand for bandwidth increases, and as our applications are upgraded.
