Its lifecycle services across cloud, connectivity, collaboration and security are designed to help optimise operations, reduce risk and empower employees.

Highlights

How Logicalis International creates value

Logicalis International's go-to-market strategy is based on delivering the desired business outcomes of its customers. This is achieved through the implementation and delivery of a variety of technology solutions and services. Logicalis International works with stakeholders to align technology investments with business strategy, driving critical business objectives through the adoption and application of technology for competitive advantage.

Customers' business outcomes often revolve around the following areas:

• Empowering employees
• Optimising operations
• Transforming business and operating models

Logicalis International's solutions have been specifically designed to achieve these outcomes. These include technologies such as cloud, security, digital workspace, and connectivity.

A key element of Logicalis International's value proposition is its extensive service portfolio. Services include product integration and associated professional services, lifecycle and managed services and cloud solutions, with a focus on embedding security across all technology offerings. Logicalis International delivers consistent, digital global services using shared, best practice platforms.

Logicalis International maintains an environment of honesty, transparency, fairness and high-moral standards which encourages initiative and provides opportunities for its people. Change and creativity are embraced to deliver the best practical outcomes. It strives to exceed expectations and be the best while maintaining the highest level of quality. It relies on the strong relationships and alliances that it has built to achieve success in the long term.

Logicalis International's goal is to be a strategic partner to businesses, enabling them to operate more effectively, and supporting them as they contribute to the strategic development of their organisation.

Impacts of Logicalis International's external environment on its ability to create value

Numerous factors, such as global economic and political conditions, lower growth in the markets served, increased competition, risks related to new technologies, reliance on a limited number of strategic vendors and the scarcity of available suitably qualified technical and leadership talent could all impact Logicalis International's ability to create value.

Opportunities

Clients are looking to take advantage of technology to build a more engaged workforce with better balance, leverage cloud for operational efficiencies and innovate to provide a strong foundation to build a flexible infrastructure which can outpace competitors.

Wider adoption of technology brings with it a cyber threat landscape that continues to expand and evolve, becoming increasingly sophisticated. Clients are struggling to manage with the requirements to detect new threats, and to understand exactly what they need to protect their business.

Logicalis International is ideally suited to supporting these challenges, especially because of the scarcity of qualified talent.

We continue to be in a period of digital transformation with exponential ongoing technology change. To leverage this, Logicalis International is investing in assets, platforms, and solutions, building on current capabilities by providing managed lifecycle services across cloud, connectivity, collaboration and security that are designed to optimise operations, reduce risk and empower employees.

Another area growing in importance, is sustainability. While all businesses will need to become sustainable over time, most are still unsure of how to achieve that goal. To help its clients, Logicalis International has developed a managed digital fabric platform and scoring which provides customers with insight into their digital footprint and the carbon emissions associated with the services Logicalis International provides to them.

Markets

Even though global trading uncertainties are expected to persist for the short to medium term, Logicalis International is confident in its ability to continue to respond to market needs caused by post Covid-19 changes to working practices, current economic and conflict disruptions. The technology segments that Logicalis International specialises in are key parts of cloud infrastructure and the remote access computing and collaboration solutions necessary for enterprises to adjust.

While Logicalis International is ideally positioned to continue to respond to changing market needs as technology plays an even more integral role in the global economy, the supply chain shortages experienced as the world emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic remain mostly unresolved. This, coupled with recent geopolitical issues, have created a lot of uncertainty, both in the short and medium term, which will impact the division's performance.

Outlook

Logicalis International continues to develop its capabilities within cloud, IoT, software, security, data management and intelligent networks in support of its strategy to provide full lifecycle solutions around IT infrastructure to its customers.

The future will likely involve hybrid workplaces for part-time office and remote workers. Preparing and planning for this environment will be essential in providing a better digital experience for customers, partners and employees.

Logicalis International remains confident about the long-term prospects for the industry and its positioning within it. Over the short term, macroeconomic conditions are expected to remain uncertain.
