Cloud management & optimisation services

The Version 1 cloud management & optimisation service combines cloud cost optimisation, security by design and best practice methodologies, and a continual investment in training and development of our people, to create multi-skilled resources for managing an optimised and secure multi-cloud environment.

A single reliable point of access for cloud expertise, services & requests via our bespoke customer portal with persona based dashboards.

In Version 1, Cafcass has a true partner. Our organisation’s mission-critical systems have been moved off-premise to the cloud which has resulted in very positive financial and efficiency savings which are extremely important for managing an ever-increasing demand for our services. However, the relationship also resulted in further positive benefits as we have found in Version 1 a partner who really cares about our organisation, displaying empathy to our needs and priorities.
