Stephen Amstutz, Head of Strategy and Innovation at Xalient, has joined the APMdigest Vendor Forum.
Amstutz has 20+ years’ experience in design, implementation, and support of various IT infrastructures. Stephen is responsible for all technical pre-sales for Xalient. This involves designing a whole, end-to-end solution to meet the customer’s needs, potentially including everything from networks and server infrastructure to applications and business processes. His other main area of accountability within Xalient is consulting with customers to help develop their IT strategy; typically through an audit of their current environment, an assessment of their business requirements, analysis of the market and then creation of a roadmap.
Xalient, based in the UK and USA, was established just six years ago to disrupt the traditional markets for secure networking, taking advantage of the huge shift to cloud technology that has created high demand for flexible, cost-effective global connectivity and protection against increasingly complex cyber threats. Combining transformative, software-defined network, security, and communication technologies with intelligent managed services, Xalient helps the world’s top brands become more resilient, adaptable and responsive to change.
