Introducing Pure//Consult, Pure//Deploy, and Pure//Optimize
Traditional Professional Services have served us well, but to meet the dynamic needs of our clients, we must evolve. Advanced Services allow us to provide more strategic, lifecycle-focused solutions that align with our clients’ goals and deliver a heightened level of impact.
Our shift to Advanced Services is not just about changing our service offerings; it’s about enhancing the value we deliver to our clients. Each component of Pure//Consult, Pure//Deploy, and Pure//Optimize is designed to drive specific outcomes that contribute to overall business success:

With Pure//Deploy, we’ve redefined implementation services to ensure seamless execution and integration of various technology solutions. Our comprehensive deployment strategies cover every aspect of the process, from planning and design to automation and orchestration. This ensures that our clients’ solutions are not only deployed efficiently but also optimized for performance and scalability from the outset and enable continued growth. This phase focuses on making the solution real, ensuring a seamless transition, and accelerating time to value.
Core aspects encompass:

Differentiating in the Market
In a crowded marketplace, our Advanced Services sets us apart from competitors who offer traditional services. By focusing on outcomes rather than just processes and moving away from SKU-based transactional Professional Services, we’re able to focus on a more consultative, lifecycle-led approach that’s aligned with the Pure Storage platform.
We also need to integrate services early in enterprise pursuits, ensuring they solve real customer problems and become part of the total cost of ownership (TCO) proposal.
The transition from Professional Services to Advanced Services marks a significant milestone for Pure Storage. As we embark on this exciting journey, we look forward to helping our clients navigate the complexities of technology and achieve unparalleled success. Together, we’ll redefine what it means to deliver technology services in the modern age.
