Thoughtful Service Design

Designing an excellent service is more of an art than a science. It requires the knowledge and skill of people who have not only provided but also consumed Managed Services. Luckily for you, the Astute Business Solutions team has skilled professionals who have lived their lives on both sides of that equation and this means that they intimately know what works and doesn't work both for customers and service providers.

We've found that one size never fits all and that most of the world is actually a gradient of gray rather than a binary black and white. This makes for a good service design backed by rock-solid SLA's, one that takes into account the humanity of the process and individual need.

Astute Business Solutions offers managed services tailored to Oracle Cloud, PeopleSoft, Ellucian Banner, Disaster Recovery, Oracle Database, and many Non-Oracle Workloads.

Our Managed Service includes the following areas:

  • Managed Network Services
  • Managed Infrastructure Services
  • Managed Security Services
  • Managed Application Services
  • Managed Development Services
  • Managed Testing Services
