Testimonial:
“From initially meeting the PrimoConnect team, every phase of this service has been a great experience. The RFP process, the early planning and technical design stages were delivered excellently and we felt comfortable with PrimoConnect and their delivery partners throughout. We were well supported during the initial project delivery, whilst we were still developing our applications at an aggressive rate, and PrimoConnect has stayed by our side right the way through the in-life management of the solution. Given the 24x7 “always-on” nature of our business for international clients, windows for tolerance of Cloud and network changes, upgrades or any performance drops have always been minimal. There have been challenges along the way but PrimoConnect were always fast to help and resolve issues quickly for us. That is where you need to be able to trust your partners to ensure continuity and we trust PrimoConnect with our business.”
Mark Bradbury, CEO & Founder, Apply Financial
Project Comments:
“PrimoConnect works with a number of FinTech companies and started working with Apply Financial in 2017. It’s been fantastic to see the business expand globally to the point where Accuity, part of RELX, acquired the business in 2020. The previous private data centre service was felt to be inflexible by Apply Financial and caused significant problems on a daily basis for the business, especially with their aggressive growth plans. Apply Financial were looking for a partner to upgrade the private cloud solution to a stable, reliable, secure and future-proof platform in order to accelerate their growth. PrimoConnect provided a private managed hosted Cloud solution which Apply Financial could provide their award-winning applications from. It has been fantastic to work with Apply Financial on this project and we wish Mark, Martin and the team every success in the future.”
Chris Penny, CEO, PrimoConnect
Take Away Points:
Technical challenges will always arise when a client is building new tech services and applications on a Cloud platform. It is important to establish a reliable partnership to create the trust needed to give clients the belief that they can scale at pace on your infrastructure.
