If you’ve visited us here at Axis IT while looking for a job or looking to post a job on behalf of your business, these valuable top tips can be applied to both parties – helping you to separate the best IT recruitment agencies from the rest.

Does the agency cover/offer the right job?

Before delving deep into a website, spending time on the phone or signing up, it couldn’t be more important to make sure that the agency actually specialises in the job you want to offer or the job you want to apply for. If they don’t, you could have wasted valuable time you could have spent applying for the right IT jobs or using your office hours productively.

Here we cover all levels of IT support, a variety of developer jobs and many contracting vacancies.

Does the agency operate in your area?

Much like finding out if an agency will offer the job you want to advertise or apply for, it is always best to ensure that the agency doesn’t just operate in an area you cannot get to. At Axis IT, you will find that we have offices throughout Britain in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh – we use our experience within these local areas to create deep networks within the market and allows us to reach the clients and candidates other recruiters cannot.

Do they recruit within your specialism / vertical market?

Choosing an IT recruitment agency that recruits in your chosen specialism will most likely lead to a better job. The different niche vertical markets we specialise in throughout the UK are:

• IT Development
• IT Support
• IT Infrastructure
• Project/Programme Management, Business Analysis
• Network & Communications
• Architecture & Design
• QA/Testing

Our slightly biased opinion would be to say that you are already in the right place, but if you need any more tips, friendly advice or IT support London, feel free to call our UK recruitment hotline on 0844 249 2090 and we will point you in the right direction. Alternatively, take a look around our easy to navigate website and find out for yourself why we are different from the other IT recruitment agencies.

In any business, an efficient, productive and easy to use email system is a vital tool in keeping in constant contact with clients and customers. With such reliance upon a fully functional email system, the highest level of reliability in the system being used is a must. Here at Online Support through in depth planning we can guarantee you a successful exchange migration for London based companies to offer you reliability alongside increased usability and security.

We can either manage the exchange migration London project for you from start to finish or if you have an internal IT team we can work alongside them thus providing them with valuable experience and saving you on project labour costs.

At Online Support we can offer to guarantee your Exchange migration due to the fact that we have a wealth of industry experience and have encountered virtually every Exchange migration situation on a wide variety of systems. Furthermore, our status as a Microsoft Gold Partner means that we have easy access to the highest level of Microsoft support should we encounter a problem we are unable to solve.

By planning the project ahead, we can test every element of your new system, from building a new exchange server and integrating it to your existing network, to testing a preliminary mailbox and retiring your old email system. Once we are happy with the completed project, we can be relied upon to successfully migrate all of your existing mailboxes and public folders to the new Exchange database.

We can also provide a number of on-going IT services in London to compliment your Exchange installation including the following:

The term ‘Cloud Computing‘ is often misinterpreted and its true meaning and importance lost. At Commensus PLC, we’re here to make cloud computing simple and easy – the way it should be, to enable your business to enjoy the outstanding benefits which its implementation presents. Let’s first begin by exploring what Cloud Computing is, in order to understand how it can improve your business.

What is Cloud Computing?

A ‘Cloud’ is a virtual space, within which limitless information and data can be stored. All data is aggregated into a ‘resource pool’, which can be accessed and shared over the Internet, acting as your single, reliable and secure source of information and storage. The resource pool is fully secure and is private to each customer.

How does it work?

Through the development of our cutting edge Commensus Virtual Infrastructure Platform (C-VIP) technology, we are able to offer hosting services, data storage, application hosting and mobility/connectivity services. This platform can take all the applications, data and operating systems which are on your physical server, and relocate it all to a virtual host which lives within the C-VIP platform. The virtual server is stored in one of our Tier 3+ data centres across London with other facilities in Paris, Frankfurt and Singapore. The server is then georeplicated to another site through our VMware based platform.

What does this mean for my business?

Put simply, all of your information can be placed onto our platform and can be accessed directly over the Internet. Instead of storing all important company data on a physical server which may crash or be left open to security breaches, you’ll be able to securely access all of your information without having to worry about uptime, power and the security of your data. This will reduce unpredictable capital expenditure caused by equipment needing regular replacement. By moving to a cloud hosting solution, you will be able to predict the cost of IT infrastructure and therefore enable your business to sustain a steady, fixed operational monthly cost.

How secure is it?

All of the information which you place into ‘The Cloud’ is automatically geo-replicated to another server, meaning that if one server were to crash, you’ll still have all of your data safely stored and protected. Unlike physical servers, our dedicated virtual servers are georeplicated through our VMware platform onto another server. This results in minimal downtime and enables us to predict the life of a server. To date we have enjoyed 100% uptime across our platform.

How do I use it?

All customers are able to purchase ’slices’ of virtual space. One slice equates to 2.4GHz Processor, 1GB of RAM, 50GB of SAN Storage. You are able to purchase as many or as few slices as you desire, and can scale up or down at any time. You’ll have the advantage of being able to access your information wherever you are, whenever you like, as it is all conveniently stored virtually in one of our secure Tier 3+ data facilities.

Reducing the cost of your business’ capital expenditure, as well as potential downtime which may prove crucial to your company’s performance, our Cloud Computing services are an intelligent and cost-effective IT solution for all businesses which rely on their IT. Whether you are looking for a managed or unmanaged solution, Commensus PLC provide unrivalled support and monitoring of your virtual servers 24/7/365. For further information on any of our products, feel free to get in touch with our knowledgeable and experienced team on 0800 612 6610 or through our online contact form.

Whilst many companies in many different market sectors now use computers to co-ordinate their daily tasks, most simply do not have the budget or the space within their premises to accommodate an internal IT team. However, to prevent a company from grinding to a halt if problems do occur with the IT systems, it is vital that they have access to an IT professional. As specialists in computer services London, we at Xara Computers offer remote IT support to businesses located across the UK.

Contracting an external company to co-ordinate their IT support London, is an ideal option for many businesses. By paying an annual charge to us, business owners can save considerable quantities of money that would otherwise be paid to IT team members and spent on extra space within the premises.
