The Extrinsica Global Cloud has been designed and built by individuals that are not only technically gifted and experienced in the technologies they are responsible for but most of our staff have also held UK Government's highest security clearances.
What differentiates us
The Extrinsica Global cloud platform has been built from the ground up with both security and end user usability firmly in mind. Our cloud platform has been developed and refined over 6 years of 'in the trenches' cloud services delivery experience. We have learned many lessons that can only be gained from empirical experience – we have more of that than most cloud services providers.
We offer bespoke, software integrated cloud services that are designed to work with your business processes not against them. Our services are fully managed for you; we don't offer the commodity cloud services that only provide 'vanilla' out-of-the-box software with little or no support.
The Cloud Services Pyramid
The 'Cloud Services Pyramid' shows how our cloud services are different to the cloud services you may have already heard a lot about.
Roll your mouse pointer over the different segments of the pyramid for an explanation of the different types of cloud services available today.
