As Microsoft’s four-time and only ever government cloud partner of the year (all three clouds all up), we can help.

Because you are eligible to use the state buying contract (State of Connecticut Contract 19PSX0046) we can help you.

If you are interested in finding out a bit more and understanding how this could impact your organization, please reach out. We will get a 30-minute meeting scheduled to discuss what your objectives are and how you can use this contract to best achieve them.

M365 Security & Governance including Zero Trust

Whether you are going into full Zero Trust or just trying to understand where you are at. We can help you as you continue to transition workloads to the cloud, it is critical to implement security, controls, and governance across the Microsoft suite to be successful. Understanding what you own and the best practices for each solution can be a difficult task. Then you have to enable easy management and administration of each security solution. It can be daunting, and many organizations just take a guess and hope for the best.

You don’t have to do that. We can help.

As an agency/City/county in Connecticut you are able to work with this contract (State of Connecticut Contract 19PSX0046) – this makes you eligible for a no cost 90-minute Secure Score review of your current environment. With our experience we will work with you and your team to review where you are today, what you already own (Microsoft G3/G5 etc.) and what gaps exist to further secure your organization from bad actors. This is especially important if you have CJIS, NIST80053, HIPPA, or other compliance obligations.

Planet Technologies has migrated over 7,000,000 users to the cloud and making sure that these migrations have exceptional security and governance is a big part of what we do.

Please reach out if there is interest and we will schedule a call to walk you through how this program works and your eligibility.

App Modernization/DevOps

With Azure DevOps your development team will now be able to provide agile development with tighter tracking and testing controls. DevOps allows the team to better collaborate and manage projects to a successful conclusion.

Planet technologies has in-depth experience in helping customers along this journey. Starting with a proof of concept we can work with you to target a handful of your applications and show the value of a cloud first model. We will generally start by working with you to cover best practices, governance, and a pilot of 1-5 applications to help you understand how to bring those applications into a modern environment.

Together let’s pick a few from that tech debt list you have and show you how to enhance your employee and constituent experience and accelerate your time to market for these applications.
