CMS Strata. The Live Cockpit View Of Your Entire IT Estate.

How a proprietary, AI-enabled platform replaces static spreadsheets and quarterly reports with the same real-time visibility our engineers see, the second it happens.

The live Strata cockpit uptime, tickets resolved, patches applied, backups verified and your Secure Score trajectory, all in one view.

Here is the quiet truth about most IT partnerships. They don't fall apart on the technical work, and they don't fall apart on the people. They fall apart on visibility. You don't really know what you're paying for, what's actually at risk, or where the strategy is heading. Not until something breaks. Not until a renewal lands at full price. Not until an audit forces a scramble through three different portals and a spreadsheet someone built back in 2022.

CMS Strata closes that gap completely. It is your Live IT Dashboard, the same real time view of your IT estate that our engineers work in, sitting on your screen the moment something changes. No filtered version of reality. No glossy quarterly slide pack. Just your IT, live.

Your Live IT Dashboard gives leadership a clear, current view of the parts of your IT estate that matter most. Drawn from the same systems our engineers work in, refreshed continuously, ready when you are.

Why You've Been Flying Blind (And Why That Ends Today)

Most managed service providers still hand you static spreadsheets, a tangle of third party portals, or a chunky quarterly report that lands two weeks after the data was true. Decisions get made on last month's snapshot. By the time anyone sees the problem, it has already cost something.

Strata is built to fix that properly. It is not a portal bolted onto somebody else's tooling. It is a proprietary intelligence hub, designed and built from the ground up by our own in house development team, and connected directly to your infrastructure through real time APIs. Ticketing, projects, assets, knowledge, risk and strategy, all unified in one cockpit view that is always current and always honest.

That single shift, from quarterly snapshots to live telemetry, is what turns IT governance from a reporting chore into a genuine commercial advantage.

What's New In Your Live IT Dashboard This Year

Strata is a living platform. Our developers build and maintain it themselves, which means the roadmap moves fast and the releases over the past few months have meaningfully expanded what your leadership team can see, ask and act on.

•       Deeper live telemetry across ISPs, network infrastructure, Microsoft Entra ID identity posture, and our own service desk metrics. All surfaced in one place and refreshed continuously.

•       A redesigned Security and Maturity Engine, aligned to NIST and CIS, generating clean A to F grades across five dimensions. Security Posture, Resilience, Lifecycle, Management and Contract Health.

•       Multi AI integration so you can interrogate your live IT estate in plain English and get answers in seconds, with no dashboard hunting.

•       Built in vendor and contract governance. Every supplier contract, every SLA, every renewal date, in one place and working on your side of the table. ( example data)

•       An active roadmap building on the foundation our clients already use today. Risk adjusted ROI cost modelling and deeper historical trend analysis are landing over the coming quarters, included as standard.

What Your Live IT Dashboard Actually Does For You

Five core capabilities turn Strata from a dashboard into a working partner.

CAPABILITY 01

Live Telemetry That Sees What We See Strata plugs straight into the parts of your IT estate that drive day to day decisions. Circuit and bandwidth signals from your ISPs. Endpoint health and active alerts from your network. Identity posture from Microsoft Entra ID. Live support metrics from our service desk. You see exactly what our engineers see, refreshed continuously, the second something changes. No waiting. No filtering. No glossy report two weeks later.

CAPABILITY 02

A Security Engine That Never Sleeps Forget periodic manual checks. Strata is aligned to NIST and CIS and continuously evaluates your environment across five dimensions, generating clear A to F grades for Security Posture, IT Maturity, Operational Reliability, Strategic Alignment and Compliance Readiness. Automated Domain, DNS and SSL health checks run in the background. The minute a gap appears, it is flagged, scored and triaged. Your security posture improves visibly every month instead of being rated once a year and quietly forgotten.

CAPABILITY 03

Microsoft 365 Copilot, Wired Into Your IT Estate Native Microsoft 365 Copilot integration means you ask a question in plain English and get a real answer drawn from live data. What is our current Secure Score. Which renewals are coming in the next ninety days. How many tickets did we raise last month. Type the question. Get the answer. Multi AI capability is on the roadmap, so your team and our engineers will interrogate the live estate in seconds rather than hunting across dashboards.

CAPABILITY 04

Blast Radius Mapping You Can Actually Use Strata visually maps the live dependencies across your entire technology landscape through Topology, Constellation and Matrix views. If something breaks or gets compromised, you see the impact instantly. Which systems are affected, who is exposed, what to contain first. Missing backups, unenforced policies, ageing hardware and expiring licences are all surfaced in the same view. That is the difference between a twenty minute recovery and a twenty hour one.

CAPABILITY 05

Vendor And Contract Governance, On Your Side Of The Table Strata centralises every vendor relationship in one place. Supplier agreements, SLAs and renewal dates sit in a single managed view. Contracts are parsed automatically, SLAs are tracked, and auto renewals are flagged long before they trigger. Surprise renewals end. Redundant software spend gets surfaced. You walk into every supplier conversation with the data on your side.

What This Means For You

The benefit lands in three places, all at once.

Your leadership team gets honest, defensible answers to the questions that actually matter. Are we exposed. What are we paying for that nobody is using. Are we audit ready. Which renewals are coming. Drawn from live data, one click away.

Your IT function gets time back. Audit prep that used to chew through a senior engineer's week becomes a single export. Renewal cycles run on a calendar, not a panic. Asset registers stop quietly drifting out of date between manual reviews.

And your CMS engagement becomes properly transparent. The data you see is the data we see, so the strategic conversation runs on a shared view rather than a glossy quarterly slide pack.

Less guesswork. Less mystery. More board level confidence in where your IT budget is going, what is at risk, and what comes next.

Why CMS

Most MSPs sell visibility. We built it. Strata is proprietary, in house, continuously developed by our own team, and tailored to your environment from day one. It is not an add on. It is the digital backbone of every partnership we run, and it is how we hold ourselves to the standard we promise.

If you are already a CMS client, your Strata environment grows with you and gets stronger every quarter. If you are weighing up a move to CMS, Strata is part of the package, not a paid extra. The cockpit view comes as standard, on day one.
