ANS Empowers Dynamic Business Services’ Journey to Secure, Future-Proof Digital Learning
Background
Dynamic Business Services is one of the UK’s leading eLearning providers. Established over 25 years ago, the organisation creates interactive learning for global brands and smaller organisations. Technology, combined with human-centred design underpins everything Dynamic Business Services does: developing eLearning modules, deploying and supporting its LMS platform, and delivering services from design and video to motion graphics and hosting. The business hosts 60+ client LMS platforms with thousands of courses and 500,000+ users.
“We create success for organisations through learning. Whether their challenge is to improve compliance, productivity, best practice or competence, our full in-house production team is as invested in their success as much as our clients. Our resources are not only designed to be compelling but also to inspire real change, productivity—and ultimately, progress.”

Challenge
Dynamic Business Services delivers its LMS as Software-as-a-Solution, with each instance hosted on dedicated servers in a private cloud to ensure client data separation and flexible support. Following the acquisition of its previous data-centre partner and after nearly a decade without reviewing UK data-centre options, the business required a fully private cloud Linux server environment offering enhanced flexibility, robust server-level security, and comprehensive 24×7 engineering support for patching, monitoring and maintenance.
“The key reason for choosing ANS was that ANS provided the technical platform for the most robust solution for our clients, including the security enhancements and the proactive support required, at a price which made it work for us.”

Solution
ANS provided a secure, modern private-cloud hosting platform with high redundancy, handling the migration of over 100 servers smoothly and efficiently. Their thorough tender process, seamless contract discussions, and reliable support met all expectations, allowing Dynamic Business Solutions to transition without issue and be fully satisfied with the outcome.
“ANS owns their own data centres and their engineering support is entirely UK-based. This means we can provide our clients with certainty, not only around the location of the data, but also where the people are that can access that data.”

Outcomes
Dynamic Business Services has private-cloud hosting that meets all technical requirements, with flexibility for individual client deployments. The customer has benefitted from enhanced security, reliable engineer support and proactive account management, as well as better knowledge transfer and a future-proof foundation for clients, backed by a major UK data-centre provider.
“We now have greater confidence in the hosting approach and a clearer roadmap for future services, enabled by the ANS hosting and support model. For example, we now offer geo-fencing as standard for all clients, which wasn’t easy to deliver before.”
