XaaS is a collective term that refers to the
delivery of anything as a service. It
encompasses the many products, tools
and technologies that vendors deliver to
users as a service over a network --
typically, the internet -- as an alternative
to providing them locally or on-site to an
enterprise.
This umbrella term refers to service
offerings that are accessed as needed
and financed using a pay-as-you-go
computing pricing model. XaaS offerings
can scale up or down as needed with IT
services delivered on demand by a
managed service provider.

confusing.

How It Looks In Practice
Midwest Regional Bank 9 Locations 3 IT staff
The Director of IT had limited
resources for modernizing and
securing the business to empower
employees to work efficiently from
anywhere.
With employees working from
multiple branches and from home, IT
needed to make the user experience
streamlined from all locations.
The company needed to meet
specific compliance requirements
and security audits for banking.
145 Users

16
How It Looks In Practice
Our co-managed model provided a
true partnership for the technology
team and the business’ employees.
We enabled the employees to
have access to critical
applications securely from
anywhere.
The initial tools deployed met the
compliance requirements and
enhanced the security posture
going forward.
Rather than a product-focused approach, the team sold business outcomes.
