The result

BT helped Formwize to migrate safely and securely, and the company is now taking advantage of BT’s limitless server capacity to power its international growth.

BT helps Formwize steer a confident path to the cloud

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.

De-risking the leap into the cloud

Pre-sales support from BT Advise 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.
 

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.
