United Kingdom, Oct 29, 2024
London, 29 October 2024 — Logicalis, a leading global digital managed services provider, has been awarded Global Sustainability Partner of the Year at the Cisco Partner Summit 2024 for the second year running. Announced in Los Angeles, the awards identify Cisco’s top-performing partners who have demonstrated dedication and innovation in delivering solutions that help customers succeed.
Logicalis received the accolade for its continued efforts in helping customers reduce the carbon impact of their IT infrastructure. In partnership with Cisco, initiatives that have supported customers in achieving their sustainability goals over the past 12 months have included:
- Circular IT Solutions: Helping customers to mitigate carbon in their environment by ensuring that end-of-life assets are reused or recycled ethically and appropriately.
- Sustainable Network Transformation: Sustainably transforming networks to reduce carbon and save energy. A recent collaboration with Noble Foods saw the leading fresh food provider upgrade its network with power-efficient devices, save on energy bills and promote the responsible disposal of hardware through Cisco’s ‘Takeback’ programme.
- Smart Buildings: Integrating intelligent technologies to create eco-friendly, energy-efficient workspaces and contributing to a Cisco-led, cross industry focus group on the topic.
- Sustainable Managed Services: Logicalis’ Digital Fabric Platform, integrated with Cisco-powered Intelligent Connectivity, gives customers five metrics to assess the performance of their digital infrastructure and provides AI-powered recommendations to make their operations more secure and sustainable.
The accolade comes after Logicalis won the Technology Services Industry Association Star award for ‘Innovative KPIs in Managed Services’, enabled by the award-winning Digital Fabric Platform. The global managed service provider was also named the first Cisco partner to achieve Cisco’s Sustainable Campus Access Add-On Specialisation this year, reflecting its unwavering commitment to pushing the sustainability agenda forward and delivering value for its customers.
Robert Bailkoski, Logicalis CEO says,
At Logicalis, we believe that the tech industry has a vital role to play in addressing climate issues. That is why we continue to focus on developing solutions that not only help our customers meet their business goals, but also contribute to a more sustainable future. We are thrilled to see our efforts recognised by Cisco and we look forward to continuing to work with them to drive sustainable solutions forward.
Denise Lee, Vice President for Cisco’s Engineering Sustainability Office, says
Recognising top-performing partners who have helped customers achieve substantial business outcomes, the Global Sustainability Partner of the Year award celebrates Logicalis' commitment to accelerating a future where sustainability and business growth go hand in hand.

This not only improves the chance of making a full recovery, but also requires less visits to the doctors. Our nations also invest heavily in healthcare for the unwell, but increasingly invest in public health to prevent us getting unwell - the COVID test and vaccination programme being a leading example.

It’s deliberately short but reflects discussions with customers around key challenges, as well as newer technologies on the mainstream horizon.

To be able to extract the best value from employees and technology, remote working strategies need to be carefully considered and designed.

Whilst the temporary measures did well to sustain businesses, they lack the flexible, adaptable infrastructure required to sustain hybrid working practices.

Back in November 2020 I wrote an article about the rise of ‘Good Enough IT’ (The Rise of ‘Good Enough’ IT) which looked at the effects the pandemic had taken on spending and planned architecture refreshes and the risks associated with doing nothing. 12 months on and what a year we have had! We all know about the pandemic, so I will just leave that there (but if anyone has a crystal ball to predict the future, please let me know!).

2021 Global CIO Survey: Unlocking data to drive business strategy and accelerate growth
The first report from Logicalis’ 2021 Global CIO Survey, The Changing Role of the CIO: Agents of Change, revealed there has been a notable shift in the role of the CIO, as respondents highlighted customer experience, innovation and operational efficiency as their top priorities.

Work used to be a fixed place you go to, but it has evolved into something you do. Top and emerging talent is conscious of this transition and expects more flexibility from employers when it comes to the workplace. Research suggests 77% of Gen X employees would prefer to work for a company that gives them the flexibility to work from anywhere rather than at an expensive office.

Low-code – power to the people
This week I read a great article from Jenna Sargent (here) on how low-code tools can be used to eliminate Shadow IT. The point was simple, if the IT department doesn’t provide individuals with the right tools they need, then traditionally we would have seen users searching for the right tool for themselves and using unsanctioned apps. This situation can lead to security, data leak, etc risks. The new model emerging is to facilitate users with low-code tools and say that if the current set of apps doesn’t give you the workflow that best fits your role, create your own.

Understanding Full Stack Observability
What is it and how do we get started? Whilst Observability is a current buzzword, I was reminded of Control Theory lectures many years ago. At that stage it referred to knowing the internal state of a system from observing the outcome. It relied on the systems being linear and deterministic. But our connected world is anything but linear or deterministic. It is hugely interconnected in complex meshes, processes like those involved in online purchasing, run independently but are interdependent, and AI will result in non-deterministic outcomes. My old understanding of the term does not work in this new world.

Three key benefits of Cisco Refresh
We find ourselves in unprecedented times. As the Covid pandemic begins to wind down, we are seeing manufacturing, logistics and supply chain issues manifesting themselves across all aspects of our lives. In the IT industry shortages of integrated circuits (silicon chips) are resulting in some very long product lead times, which in turn are impacting our customers abilities to deliver - digitisation projects that are being accelerated in part due to Covid.

Sorry Dolly, working 9 to 5 isn’t a thing any more
One thing we’ve all learnt from the pandemic is that working 9 to 5 in an office isn’t how it has to be. We can be equally productive working from home with flexibility in our hours and a much better work/life balance. One thing that I certainly missed though are those little off-topic chats with people, where ideas are sparked, that air of creativity is hard to reproduce when your day consists of back-to-back video calls.

Can businesses exist if they’re not in the cloud?
Business leaders everywhere are realising ‘I won’t exist if I am not in the cloud’. Survival and business continuity relies on two critical features: Firstly, competitiveness. How productive is your workforce? Are you utilising data to better serve customers and win new business? Are your operations as cost optimised as they can be? The second component is resilience. Without resilience any business will fail. Does your business have the agility to respond to market pressures? Are you protected against ransomware and other growing threats? Is your business confident in these areas? If not, that’s a challenging place to be, and you run the risk of falling behind.

Data Management in the Modern World
Data Management has always been a challenge for organisations and with the changing landscape of how businesses run their IT, this has never been more accurate. For years, many organisations have had a siloed approach to data management. And by that I mean data is put into buckets - whether that be on premises on traditional architecture or in a private cloud - through to branch offices with their own silos of data. Add into this the advent of public cloud and the utilisation of multiple public clouds, companies have found themselves with pockets of data spread across the whole organisation. As a result, many companies have approached data management in a similar way - with the approach being siloed, rather than an overarching data management strategy.

Peel away the shiny facade of any great business and you’ll no doubt see the same things. Data. People. Process. This combination, when correctly tuned, is the critical factor in the success of businesses today.
