For India's IT Services Firms and BPOs, Where the Infrastructure Onboards Five Hundred New Hires by Monday Morning.

Where Every Client Is Also an Auditor.

IN BRIEF.

What Proactive Delivers for IT/ITES:

Hot-desk infrastructure at seven-second sign-in with federated identity (Okta, Microsoft Entra, Ping). Contact-center architectures scaling from fifty seats to fifty thousand-plus, on Cisco Webex. Multi-client network segmentation and Chinese-wall isolation aligned to ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II. Rapid-ramp architecture that onboards cohorts of five hundred in a weekend and de-provisions on Day 0 when a contract ends. Client-audit-ready compliance across SOC 2, ISO 27001/27701, HIPAA, PCI-DSS v4.0, GDPR, DPDP Act 2023, and CERT-In. 24/7 NOC and SOC coverage across every client time zone.

You Don't Need Us to Explain a Client Audit to You.

What IT/ITES Infrastructure in India Actually Has to Do

What You Already Know

You already know your infrastructure is the product. That your client's Vendor Risk Assessment questionnaire is not a form but a forty-column spreadsheet with an appendix that references your last three SOC 2 reports. That every one of your forty-seven active clients has different audit expectations, and three of them insist on their own annual on-site inspection.

You know that your workforce planning has moved from monthly to weekly. That you may onboard five hundred people this weekend and off-board two hundred next quarter when a contract ends. That every one of them needs a laptop that boots to their client's baseline in fifteen minutes, a badge that lets them into the right floor and no others, and a network segment that doesn't let them see the other client's traffic even by accident.

You know that your contact center is not a call center. That it's an SLA-driven revenue engine with quality monitoring, workforce management, and AHT reporting that has to run twenty-four hours across three shifts. That downtime for a BPO isn't measured in tickets but in dollars per second missed against your client's operational SLA.

What You Need

You need a partner who has designed hot-desk floors for four thousand seats and contact-center architectures for twelve thousand. Who understands Cisco Webex Contact Center and Genesys Cloud CX and Amazon Connect and can tell you which fits which client engagement. Who has passed client audits for BFSI, healthcare, and payments customers on behalf of Indian IT services firms.

That's the infrastructure Proactive Data Systems has been building for India's IT services and BPO sector for thirty-four years.

The Infrastructure. Built for the Sector Whose Infrastructure Is the Product.

IT Infrastructure Services Proactive Delivers for Indian IT Services and ITES Firms

Proactive delivers seven specific capabilities for IT/ITES infrastructure.

Every Architecture, Tuned for the Sector.

The Six Architectures for Indian IT Services and BPO Firms

Each of Proactive's six architectures is delivered with IT/ITES-specific patterns.

Networks

Cisco Catalyst or Meraki for campus networking at IT services scale. Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 for high-density hot-desk floors. VRF-based segmentation for client isolation. SD-WAN back to client hubs where the SoW requires it.

Data Center

For IT services firms running local hosted environments for client workloads (typically development, testing, or India-restricted data), Proactive designs multi-tenant Cisco UCS or Nutanix. Hybrid architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP India regions where the client contract mandates specific hyperscaler geography.

Cybersecurity

Zero trust with per-client segmentation. MDR that alerts on cross-client lateral movement attempts. SIEM (Splunk, Sentinel, Elastic) with per-client log separation for audit evidence. CyberArk or BeyondTrust for privileged access to client environments.

Digital Workplace

Cisco Webex Contact Center for cloud-native CX at scale. Webex Calling for corporate telephony. Meeting rooms designed for quarterly client governance reviews. Hot-desk endpoint management via Microsoft Intune, Jamf, or Kandji.

Structured Cabling

High-density office cabling at the density modern hot-desk floors demand: Cat 6A minimum, redundant fibre backbones, cable trays that survive quarterly floor reshuffles. Contact-center floor cabling engineered for 100 percent utilisation.

Managed Services

24/7 NOC and SOC coverage in every shift. Named Proactive CSMs per major client engagement. SLA reporting per client contract, not per corporate KPI. Ramp support that scales with your hiring plan.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS

01How Does Proactive Support Client Audits (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS)?
Every architecture Proactive deploys for an IT services engagement ships with an evidence pack per audit framework. SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria mapped to specific controls. ISO 27001:2022 Annex A alignment. HIPAA Security Rule safeguards. PCI-DSS v4.0 requirements. Evidence packs are refreshed quarterly, stay current between audit cycles, and are handed to your internal audit function or your client's auditor without a second request.
02How Do You Handle Multi-Client Isolation on Shared Infrastructure?
VRF-based logical segmentation on Cisco Catalyst or Meraki networks. Per-client identity federation on the corporate identity provider. Privileged access controls (CyberArk, BeyondTrust) that scope engineer access to specific client environments only. SIEM with per-client log separation. Every control is auditable per client, so when Client A asks whether Client B's engineers can see their data, the answer comes with evidence.
03What Is Proactive's Approach to Rapid Onboarding Cohorts?
Proactive designs onboarding infrastructure to handle cohorts of five hundred in a single weekend. Devices are provisioned via zero-touch (Microsoft Autopilot, Apple Business Manager, Jamf), identity is federated to the client's baseline before Day 1, network segments are pre-provisioned, and the first sign-in happens without a support ticket. Off-boarding runs the same workflow in reverse, with Day 0 de-provisioning when a contract ends.
04How Do You Handle STPI and SEZ Audit Requirements?
For IT services firms operating under STPI or SEZ tax benefits, Proactive designs network posture, physical security integration, and evidence generation aligned to STPI and SEZ audit requirements. This includes segregation of export operations from domestic, physical access controls tied to logical identity, and infrastructure-layer evidence for the annual audit cycle.
05Can Proactive Support 24/7 Shifts Across US, EU, and APAC Time Zones From India?
Yes. Proactive's NOC and SOC operate on shift patterns that overlap every major client time zone. US East Coast overnight is India daytime; US West Coast overnight is India morning; APAC daytime overlaps naturally. Follow-the-sun coverage between Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, and partner locations ensures a live analyst is always on for every client.
06How Do You Handle Federated Identity Across Many Client Engagements?
Corporate identity is maintained on your baseline identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra, Ping Identity, ForgeRock). Per-client federation is layered on top, with each client's identity domain reachable only from that client's assigned engineer pool. Privileged access to client environments flows through CyberArk or BeyondTrust with per-engagement scoping. Cross-client access is impossible by design, not by policy.
