Mobilise Cloud

Moving legacy services onto public cloud platforms

Mobilise Cloud helps organisations move older applications and services onto hyperscale public cloud platforms, including serverless and voice-based computing. The company says this lowers costs, makes software deployments more agile and improves security. It also upskills client staff, so that their own teams become cloud-native. Its stated mission is to make IT outsourcing better, offering one secure, agile managed service across several cloud providers.

Why it argues outsourcing needs to change

The firm argues that traditional IT outsourcing has become expensive and inflexible, and that many organisations feel they do not get value for money from it. It says public cloud platforms have matured enough for organisations to run all or part of their core services on them, with greater scalability, value-added services and potentially large savings.

One managed service across several clouds

Mobilise says businesses need the right tools for each job, so it migrates and runs workloads on several infrastructure platforms, and places SaaS applications under the same service wrap. The aim is to blend the flexibility of cloud computing with the security management needed to run mission-critical applications.

Services for transformation, support and delivery

The company's services include transformation acceleration and organisational improvement, support from site reliability and support engineers who work around the clock, and DevOps and architecture work. Its data, visualisation and AI work turns information into forecasts. It also covers agile delivery and product management, alongside full-stack and cloud development.

Public sector and aviation work

Case studies on its site include Dnata, a global aviation services provider, which worked with Mobilise on real-time cargo tracking at Amsterdam Airport. The company describes an AWS-based platform built with Apache Kafka and infrastructure as code, which it says now supports reliable operations and future growth. The Home Office brought in Mobilise to complete an automation programme for networks, infrastructure and private hosting across AWS, Azure and on-premises environments.

The College of Policing moved from GOV.UK PaaS to AWS. The company says the work was delivered ahead of schedule with no downtime, and that it included hands-on training and 24/7 support. Its pages also describe work with The National Archives, a key resource for more than 200 government and public sector bodies.
