We believe that cloud adoption should be fast, secure and simple for all. Our services help ensure that’s the case.
For organisations moving to AWS or Azure, we plan and orchestrate DevOps-enabled migrations that make full use of cloud capabilities from the outset. Once migration is complete, our cloud engineers can handle ongoing platform management and improvement via our 24x7 cloud managed services. We can also reskill in-house developers and engineers to get the most out of cloud environments with Agile, Cloud and DevOps training from our Academy.
We offer these three services - cloud migration, ongoing cloud management and training - as a complementary suite or on a standalone basis.
Get in touch to find out how we can make your cloud adoption journey deliver positive outcomes sooner.

APSU was established in 2011 following a merger between Apex Computers International Ltd (formed in 1989), an IBM mid-market infrastructure business, and AssurIT (formed in 1996), an IBM managed-services company.
Already a technology pioneer delivering cloud-based services into the IBM mid-range market before any other company, APSU’s service portfolio has grown to include technical consultancy, procurement, managed services, in-store and on-line retail solutions, cloud hosting and physical co-location.
The merged company was quickly recognised by IBM as a strategic partner. APSU now sits on IBM’s Worldwide Cloud Advisory Council and is the UK’s only representative on IBM’s Global Business Partner Advisory Council. It is also the most highly accredited IBM business partner in Europe and became IBM’s first partner to secure MSP accreditation for their Managed Services Partner program in the UK.
