As a full-service partner, the 'new' Fundaments focuses on developing and delivering high-quality IT environments for cloud service providers and users. In addition, our service portfolio is being expanded to include public cloud services based on VMware and Amazon Web Services. Domain name registration and hosting services will continue to be offered by Oxilion as a label of Fundaments.
Joining forces
Larik-Jan Verschuren, CEO of Fundaments: “Fundaments provides cloud infrastructure services to the business market. In recent years, our customers have increasingly asked if we could also provide Managed Services—a service we already saw being offered frequently to large enterprise clients at our sister organization, Oxilion.” Oxilion Managing Director Raoul Werger adds: “At the same time, we at Oxilion saw a growing divide between the needs of private and small-business customers on one hand, and large enterprise clients on the other. In the private and small-business market, we make a difference primarily through excellent (online) service. For large enterprise clients, the focus is on personal service and complete peace of mind. The associated Managed Services have been part of our offering for years. We wanted to serve the large enterprise market more effectively. By combining Fundaments' experience in serving the large enterprise market with Oxilion’s Managed Services, we have created a full-service provider for high-quality cloud environments. The Oxilion label can now focus even more on providing first-class care for standard hosting solutions.”
Full-service provision for mission-critical cloud challenges
While Fundaments previously focused primarily on supplying cloud infrastructure components, we can now build and manage the entire cloud environment. Advice and guidance on developing high-quality cloud environments are also part of our expanded service offering. Larik-Jan Verschuren: “Through a continuous focus on market developments and technologies, we have evolved over the years into experts in creating high-quality cloud environments. With this expertise, we want to help our customers excel in their mission-critical online services and business processes. To do that, they must be able to rely entirely on us and our solutions. In our view, only the highest-quality solutions are good enough. That is why we do not opt for standard solutions. To create the most reliable solution for any challenge, you must be able to think freely and apply cutting-edge technologies where necessary.”
“We also recognize the adoption of the public cloud with players like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. To leverage the best of these worlds, we will focus in phases on integrating public clouds into our services, starting with Amazon Web Services. By specializing in the use of these public clouds, we ensure expertise and control during every cloud migration. We ensure our customers can focus on the actual migration to the cloud: making applications ready for use so the organization can get to work from the cloud.”
Information security remains a key part of Fundaments' service. The organization proves this by holding ISO 9001, ISO 27001, NEN 7510, and ISAE 3402 certifications. Johan Mulder, Sales Manager at Fundaments: “For our customers, a well-managed cloud is of strategic importance, but often not a core activity. Outsourcing the cloud to Fundaments means determining the right ‘outsourcing strategy’ together. With the merger, we offer a single point of contact, a key requirement for fully outsourcing the cloud foundation. Together with our smart, secure, and flexible services, we are able to provide our customers with complete peace of mind.”
