ThinkGrid, a leading provider of IT services from the Cloud, today announced that it has signed a 5 year partner agreement with
Littlefish IT Support to offer businesses high-quality and flexible Cloud computing services. Littlefish customers will now have the ability to transform the way they use, purchase and manage IT by accessing ThinkGrid’s Cloud platform, which includes services such as Hosted Virtual Desktop, Exchange and Communications, VoIP, Software-as-a-Service, Virtual Server Infrastructure and Cloud Storage. Coupled with Littlefish’s best practice led IT support services that currently serve over 30,000 end-users, customers will no longer need to make upfront CapEx investment in expensive hardware, software and support and instead move all IT costs to an easy-to-manage, monthly operational expense (OpEx).
"It is imperative that as we grow we continue to provide our clients with essential IT services that offer far greater flexibility, scalability, security and ease of use. ThinkGrid’s IT services from the Cloud platform very much delivers these benefits by offering enterprise class IT infrastructure at a fraction of the previous cost,” said Adam Webb, CEO, Littlefish IT Support. “When we looked at ThinkGrid’s quality of service, spectrum of aggregated services and client-centric approach, we were reassured that they were the right strategic partner for Littlefish’s best practice IT support. Moreover, partnering with ThinkGrid and adopting their IT services from the Cloud platform, enables us to deliver highly available IT services, which match our cost effective monthly recurring support model."
Headquartered in Nottingham, UK Littlefish is a Microsoft Gold Partner that currently supports over 30,000 end-users across a range of businesses. As one of the UK's fastest growing IT support and services organisations it delivers effective, scalable 24x7 onsite and remote support to large enterprises, SMEs and even start-up businesses. From network support to remote backup and disaster recovery, Littlefish couples flexible IT support solutions with a depth of industry knowledge to meet every budget and timeframe. Under the terms of the partnership, Littlefish will white label ThinkGrid’s portfolio of Cloud services and package these with its own best practice IT support, as an alternative solution to traditional desktop IT infrastructure delivery, management and support.
Ibby Jalloh, Account Director at ThinkGrid said, "We're delighted to be working with such a world class IT support and services organisation. Littlefish IT support has a proven track record in serving a huge number of end users so this scale of operation is ideally suited to our Cloud platform. Littlefish customers now have the opportunity to further reduce the cost and complexity of IT services without compromising quality. This is a win-win scenario for all and we look forward to developing this partnership further.”
