We typically start by scheduling an initial meeting with the client to understand their needs and business objectives. This workshop allows us to establish the scope and foundation for the project.
-
Following the initial scoping workshop, we deliver a proposal and indicative costing to the client. Once the proposal is accepted, we undertake a detailed information-gathering process to understand the client's desired objectives and any specific operational, financial, regulatory, or technical considerations. We then conduct an in-depth analysis of these requirements, culminating in a comprehensive and well-considered specification.

No, hosting is just one component of our CALM offering. Our comprehensive CALM offering includes integrated DevOps processes for application building, testing, and deployment, along with all aspects of infrastructure, licensing, monitoring, alerting, backups, secret management, certificate renewals, maintenance, security, and access control for the cloud environments and services essential for running your applications. These environments are highly secure and audit-ready.

Our offering provides you with multiple environment options, including QA, UAT, Pre-Prod, and Prod. You have the flexibility to choose as many staging and production environments as required. Application updates will only be promoted through these environments once you are satisfied that your new features are functioning as expected.
-
Our service is built on top of state-of-the-art public cloud infrastructure that offers multiple levels of redundancy and auto-healing capabilities. However, in the event of a major disaster leading to a complete failure of the entire data centre, we have robust disaster recovery processes in place to ensure the rapid restoration of your application, getting it back up and running promptly.
-
No, we support many different deployment environments. If you would prefer to deploy your application on-premises or into your own cloud environment, we are happy to accommodate that. Choosing the CALM offering means that if the application encounters any issues, whether they are defects or environment/infrastructure issues, Singular will take responsibility and resolve the issue ASAP.
Furthermore, because we have tried and tested DevOps processes integrated with our CALM offering, we can rapidly get your application into your hands for testing and then into production. This means less time and money spent building out the delivery process and more time building application features.
