Hi all, I am a regular user but I'm posting under an alias so the post remains anonymous!

We are looking to change our hosted services provider so I am looking for recommendations of UK based companies that can support and/or host our BI/TM1 environments. We are currently on v10.1.1 for both products but we will be upgrading very soon.

If you have a recommendation for a company please let me know by posting their details on here.

Hi,

Depending on your needs, it's possible you might be able to switch from "on-prem" licenses to SAAS (Software as a Service) licenses with IBM? In this situation, you would pay IBM an annual subscription for your licenses and they would provision, maintain and upgrade your Cognos and TM1 (Planning Analytics). I believe IBM have a "Bridge to Cloud" scheme currently that offers good incentives. It's worth asking your IBM account manager, I'd suggest :)

Cheers!

Meep!

That's great, thanks very much. We've got a call lined up with IBM on Friday so I'll discuss this with him.

Might also be worth reaching out to Avnet (BSP, who host this site, are part of Avnet). I think they offer hosting services in the UK - possibly Bracknell?

One other thought is Assimil8. I'm pretty sure they offer hosting using IBM Softlayer. They are based near Nottingham.

Cheers!
