Professional Services
We recognise the importance of providing Professional Services to customers. We understand that customers often require advice at the planning stage of a project and control during the project’s execution.
The aim of The Bunker’s Professional Services team is to provide customers with the best possible support and advice to help lessen risks and reduce the burden of running projects. This will make the entire process as easy as possible to all parties involved.
The Professional Services team are flexible and can bring their expertise to any projects. We are frequently requested to contribute to Consolidation, Migration and Business Continuity Planning projects, further details of these service can be found below.
Our project managers are PRINCE2 trained, and our service desk used ITIL v3 best practices, ensuring you of professional service throughout your engagements with The Bunker
- The ongoing costs associated with out of scale, end of support life systems are immense. Business expansion, mergers and acquisitions can lead to redundant infrastructure, increased hardware and application maintenance costs and under-utilised servers and storage. Consolidation can significantly reduce operating costs, and through formal planning and project management processes the risk of transition can be avoided.
- Having made a strategic decision to migrate to a new facility, the greatest concern is the potential risk of business disruption or data loss. Our consultants will plan and test the migration, using proof of concept facilities and test environments to minimise such risks and enable you to reap the benefits of your new strategy within defined timescales.
- All business owners and managers are responsible for keeping their organisation operational, during normal conditions and when unplanned disruptions occur. However, despite the risk that almost one in five businesses suffers a major incident every year, many are not well prepared.
- Any amount of downtime can lead to lost customers, lost revenue, legal actions and even the collapse of your business. Sabotage, theft, natural disasters, industrial action, terrorism and human error present risks that businesses must plan to mitigate and recover from. Whether for regulatory reasons or as best practice to protect your organisation, a business continuity plan is essential.
- By implementing an effective business continuity plan it is possible to recover from otherwise catastrophic failures. Whilst all businesses are unique, there are formal and rigorous approaches to developing a plan. Our experience enables us to help you to create the most appropriate plan for your particular business and to implement the IT systems that will keep your business running should disaster strike.

We recognise the importance of these Professional Services but believe they are a specialist area of consulting expertise just as our core business is our specialist area of expertise. For this reason rather than try and create a new core business area we have elected to build a strategic alliance with Kavanagh. As a customer you may chose who you contract with; The Bunker or Kavanagh. In any event we will ensure both parties are engaged from the start of the project and you will always have a single individual who will own the project from inception to completion in BAU.
The Professional Services most commonly required are summarised in the tabs below. For the complete range of Kavanagh Services and their client list please visit their site by clicking on one of the links on this page.
Consolidation - TAB
The ongoing costs associated with out of scale, end of support life systems are immense. Business expansion, mergers and acquisitions can lead to redundant infrastructure, increased hardware and application maintenance costs and under-utilised servers and storage. Reducing operating costs is of heightened importance in the current economic climate. Kavanagh link
Migrations - TAB
Migrate without risk or interruption to your business – Our consultants will carefully plan and test your migration project at our proof of concept facilities to ensure that there is minimal disruption to your business. Kavanagh link
BCP – TAB
Business managers and owners must maintain the ability of their organisation to function following unplanned disruptions. However, despite the risk that almost one in five businesses suffers a major incident every year, many are not well prepared or think that the responsibility for it should simply reside within the IT department. It is an unfortunate statistic that a significant proportion of businesses fail to ever recover from a catastrophic failure, unless they have effectively implemented business continuity management to ensure that the business can continue.
