Press Release

de Novo Solutions establishes new standard in Managed Cloud Support with launch of Value as a Service™ (VaaS™)

Langstone, Wales – 7th March 2023: Pioneering tech company, de Novo Solutions, has set a new benchmark in Managed Cloud Support with the launch of its next generation managed services offering, ‘Value as a Service™’ [VaaS™] for Oracle SaaS Cloud and ServiceNow applications.

de Novo Solutions is committed to ‘re-imagining the world of work’, having honed a niche in the experience economy undertaking digital transformation through the creation of personalised experiences over standardised processes for both public and private sector organisations.

Its new VaaS™ offering places the emphasis on a value-centric approach to managed cloud support, taking relationship management and service for businesses to a new level. Utilising both Oracle and ServiceNow hybrid cloud technologies, the VaaS™ experience includes a complete portal to ensure smooth and consistent delivery of communication, while enabling businesses to leverage knowledge, insight and expertise.

Mark Sweeny, Founder and Chief Executive of de Novo Solutions, explained: “Cloud is constantly evolving and unfortunately many businesses fail to maximise their return on investment, as they do not take advantage of the innovation that is regularly delivered by their platform provider.

To overcome this, de Novo has revised the concept for cloud managed service support, focusing on value realisation over and above commercial innovation across the entire cloud contract. This means delivering a solution uniquely tailored to each client’s circumstance, while balancing support, innovation, and pragmatism to generate people-centric outcomes – meeting all stakeholder needs from leadership to end users.

We are, therefore, incredibly excited about the launch of VaaS™ and believe it will soon represent a new standard in cloud managed services – so watch this space.”

Headquartered in Langstone, Wales, with a secondary office in Guildford, de Novo Solutions has experienced impressive growth since inception, accelerating revenue by 450% over the last 12 months alone, and already has three clients signed up to its VaaS™ managed services offering.

In launching VaaS, the boutique digital consultancy is forecast to drive continued growth, while establishing a leading reputation for client service and delivery, underpinned by communication and transparency in both the Oracle and ServiceNow ecosystems.
