You can concentrate on you core business !
Infrastructure has become a commodity for most organisations and IT departments. Managing it is rather time-consuming. And it requires specific skills.
By outsourcing the management of your distributed systems to NRB, you can spend more time growing your business. You don’t need to invest any more money into dedicated infrastructure and skills that may be difficult to find. You are free to use your resources where they will generate the most added value.
For some businesses, outsourcing also means simplifying their IT process, which can speed up their time-to-market, as systems are available more quickly. The service models we offer can enable your ICT to keep pace with your activities.
Solutions tailored to your needs
By entrusting their infrastructure management to us, businesses also make a good financial choice, because they turn investment costs (CAPEX) into operational expenditure (OPEX) and at the same time they increase the security, flexibility, mobility, quality and performance of their IT environment. They pay only for the services they actually need!
NRB has all the skills, resources and infrastructure necessary to guarantee the highest quality services. Our clients can either opt for a dedicated physical or virtual infrastructure or call on our shared infrastructure. Both benefit from the service levels and security set out in a personalised SLA or Service Level Agreement.
In addition, being in Belgium and being knowledgeable of the business of our clients do allow us to meet your legal requirements in the best way possible.
