Managed Cloud in a changing IT environment

The growing complexity of IT environments

IT environments have changed significantly in a short period of time. Applications run across multiple platforms, dependencies have increased, and the demands for availability and security are higher than ever. What used to be manageable with fixed routines and a small IT team now requires continuous attention.

This is a new reality in which Managed Cloud can provide real value. The ongoing attention that IT environments now demand requires time and energy. Monitoring, updates, security measures, and incidents cannot be planned, yet they must be addressed immediately. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain sufficient specialized expertise.

As a result, IT teams are primarily focused on keeping the IT environment operational, while innovation and application improvements come under pressure.

When the context changes, the setup must evolve

In many organizations, IT management is structured according to a familiar model: the technical domain is managed internally, alongside everything else that falls under IT. For a long time, this was a logical and workable choice. But the context has changed. Continuity, security, and compliance have become structural prerequisites, while environments are more complex and dynamic than before.

These changes call for a different way of organizing. Not because the existing approach falls short, but because the role of IT management has become more demanding and more critical. Management is no longer a supporting activity, but a continuous process that requires focus, experience, and predictability.

A different way of working together: Managed Cloud

The solution does not lie in introducing an additional platform, but in adopting a different way of collaborating. With Fundaments’ Managed Cloud, everything up to the application layer is taken care of: from infrastructure and operating systems to monitoring and maintenance. The application itself remains the responsibility of the organization, with clear agreements in place regarding roles and responsibilities.

Through this collaboration, IT management is organized differently. Updates and patches are carried out in a controlled manner, incidents are proactively addressed, and the environment is continuously monitored. Not as isolated actions, but as part of a structured service model that is available day and night.

Stability in the IT environment, room for the organization

The result is peace of mind—not only technically, but across the entire organization. IT teams gain the space to focus on improving and innovating applications, while availability, security, and compliance are demonstrably safeguarded. This creates a stable IT environment on which the organization can confidently build.

This way of working ensures that IT once again supports the organization’s ambitions. The focus shifts from reacting to looking ahead.

Built on experience and reliability

Managed Cloud is delivered from Fundaments’ Private Cloud environment, fully based in the Netherlands and supported by strict certifications and audits. With dedicated service teams, clear agreements, and periodic evaluations, the service remains aligned with changing requirements—both technical and organizational.
