Formwize case study: switching to a cloud solution

BT helps Formwize steer a confident path to the cloud.

The challenge

James Neilson’s job isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about making sure you can tick them, too. As chief digital officer of Formwize, a company that specialises in online forms, he can’t afford things to go slow when someone – who can be anywhere in the world – is filling in a survey or answering a quiz.

That’s why James relies on BT for his company’s infrastructure needs. That hasn’t just helped Formwize take advantage of almost limitless cloud server capacity; embracing BT’s Cloud of Clouds is taking care of the heavy lifting needed to power the company’s global growth.

The solution

Here are some fast facts:

  • Formwize migrated to BT Cloud Compute in just three months.
  • Developers globally can access features from many clouds including Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services.
  • Meshing is enabled through the BT Compute Management System (CMS) allowing Formwize to treat many clouds as one large connected pool.
  • Formwize global cloud traffic runs over Microsoft Express Route powered by BT Cloud Connect Direct Microsoft – with enterprise-class security and availability.

The result

Our Compute Management System (CMS) allows Clouds to work as one platform-as-a-service for seamless use of different service providers’ features and attributes.

Pre-sales support from BT professional services de-risks complex cloud journeys. Not only releasing IT people’s time for more strategic work, this also gives companies the confidence to make that virtual leap.

Aiming to empower organisations to connect easily and securely to the applications and data they need, wherever they’re hosted, BT’s Cloud of Clouds brings together the best collaboration services – our own and those of our world-class partners.

At first we thought the cloud journey would have been too risky and costly, but BT managed our expectations all the way and right-sized us accordingly.
