Company overview

s2s delivers and manages secure integrated systems for business. As an NG Bailey company, s2s has the ability to provide sustainable solutions ranging from cabling infrastructure and secure communications platforms through to application delivery. Our unique blend of award-winning people, business processes and best of breed technology enables us to consistently provide outstanding levels of service and expertise to our customers.

Our approach

There are three elements that constitute the essence of s2s as a company, namely the People that form the core of our expertise, the Processes that we follow, and the Technology that we are passionate about.

People

The s2s team has a comprehensive range of technical qualifications, which includes a full complement of Cisco Certified Internetworking Experts (CCIEs), and extensive combined industry experience. This enables our team to draw from a broad knowledge base when advising our customers about their networking needs. Underpinning everything that we do are our ideals of Passion, Integrity and Excellence. These ideals are reflected in the professionalism of our team, and our dedication to delivering solutions that surpass our customers' expectations.

Process

By adopting a lifecycle approach to the processes that we follow, we can ensure that consistent levels of service are delivered throughout the deployment of any new technology. Lifecycle means that we are able to support our customers’ current needs, anticipate their future needs and align them with the goals of the business as a whole. The lifecycle draws from six different phases, from planning for and preparing the base of the solution, all the way through to designing, implementing, operation and optimising the solution on an ongoing basis.

By following these phases we cover every aspect of a deployment scenario, from determining our customers’ strategic goals, to assessing their infrastructure, conducting proof of concept tests and risk assessments, installing their equipment and then managing their devices as needed. This methodical approach guarantees that every necessity is accounted for, and results in fewer disturbances, such as unplanned network downtime.

Technology

Through our strategic alliance with leading technology Vendors such as Cisco Systems - with whom we hold Gold Partner status, IBM, and HP we are able to stay at the forefront of developing technology. With specialisations across all advanced technologies, and a proven ability in designing, implementing and operating large-scale network infrastructures securely, we have the capacity to manage all aspects of our customers’ networks independently via our advanced Network Operations Centre (NOC). We can also host their data in our secure, on-site data centre facility.

Consequently, the combination of our specialisations and expertise has resulted in us developing a unique and innovative service offering. As part of this offering, we have developed a range of services in order to assist our customers with improving their operational abilities. These services give them a cost effective means of increasing the effectiveness of their internal IT teams, without increasing their overheads. Examples of these services include general support and maintenance, management of specific solutions such as firewalls and VPNs, and we also provide network protection, reviews and monitoring.
