Our Accreditations

Global standards ensure that our customers data and infrastructure is managed with bench marked processes and standards

BlueCentral helps businesses retain focus by managing the aspects of their operations that do not drive competitive advantage for our customers. In essence, we help businesses become more competitive by providing expert levels of management for core platforms and IT infrastructure. BlueCentral takes the growing costs and pressures associated with building and managing infrastructure support teams away from our customers.

This provides the ability to focus on managing the aspects of their IT platforms that can increase business performance such as improving application functionality and business intelligence generated by key business applications.

Customers who selectively outsource their infrastructure management to BlueCentral have more time and resources to allocate to managing and improving the performance, output and usability of their critical business applications. Importantly, in partnering with BlueCentral, our customers can be sure that the quality of the internal or partner-supplied management of their applications is matched by the quality of the infrastructure management on which those applications are operating.

Reducing risks is a key requirement for a successful partnership between BlueCentral and our customers. We achieve this through a range of accreditations, certifications, memberships and technology partnering:

• ISO:27001: BlueCentral hosts infrastructure within data centres that are certified to meet the ISO:27001 standards in relation to information security. These processes guide our approach to data management, ensuring that the integrity of our customer’s data and content is never compromised.
• ASIO T4: All customer infrastructure is hosted within data centre facilities that are certified to ensure access to customer environments is always secure and only authorised personnel can obtain access. The ASIO standard ensures that the physical security of all customer infrastructure complies and meets the highest and most stringent requirements.
• Microsoft Gold Partner: BlueCentral is a Microsoft Gold Partner possessing the necessary qualified engineering and support personnel required not simply to hold the accreditation but to deliver and support hosted infrastructure services running Microsoft technologies. These skills exist at engineering, support and pre and post sales levels.
• VMware Service Provider Program: BlueCentral is ideally positioned to support businesses that are consolidating dedicated server infrastructure and taking advantage of VMware technologies. We are one of a few providers with access to the service provider licensing and support programs.
• VMware Engineering and Sales Expertise: Our support engineers are VMware Certified Professionals while pre-sales design consultants all possess the relevant training and certifications to understand, support and design virtualised infrastructure management services.
• PCI DSS: As organisations work to meet Payment Card Gateway security requirements, BlueCentral is positioned well to consult to and design infrastructure and managed hosting services that help businesses meet their certification requirements and ensure their platforms are PCI compliant.
• AIMIA: BlueCentral is a member of the Australian Interactive Media Industry Association and actively attend AIMIA events in support of organisations delivering digital and media services.
