What does Centos Digital actually do?

We run three things under one roof: cloud infrastructure (architecture, migration, security, day-to-day operations), AI engineering (finding where AI actually helps and building it in properly), and digital growth (design, development, and marketing). Most clients start with one and expand once they see the other side working.

No. We work across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises environments, and we’re vendor-independent — we recommend what fits your business, not what earns us a partner badge with a specific provider.

Yes. We support on-premises data center operations directly, and can help you migrate at whatever pace makes sense for your business, including staying partially on-premises long-term if that’s the right call for you.

Most firms specialize in one lane — infrastructure or growth — and leave you to manage the gap between the two yourself. We run both, so a decision made on the infrastructure side accounts for the growth side, and vice versa, instead of the two teams working in isolation.

We’ll tell you honestly if AI isn’t the right fit for a given process — not every workflow needs it. When it does make sense, we scope it around a measurable return, not because it’s trending.

Security is built into the architecture from the start, not added after launch. We set up governance frameworks and compliance management that hold up under a real audit, and disaster recovery plans that get tested on a schedule, not just written and filed away.

Four stages: we assess what’s actually there, architect a roadmap scoped to your budget and timeline, build with regular checkpoints instead of a black box until launch, then stay on for ongoing operation and growth if needed.

Both. Some engagements are a scoped project — a migration, a rebuild, a campaign. Others are ongoing — ongoing managed operations, continuous growth marketing, ongoing AI monitoring. We’ll recommend which fits based on what you actually need, not push you toward a retainer by default.

Pricing depends on scope — infrastructure work is typically scoped per project or as an ongoing managed operations retainer, and growth/marketing work is typically a monthly retainer tied to deliverables. Get in touch and we’ll give you a straight number, not a “starting from” figure that never matches the final invoice.

Our own team. If a specialist outside our core team is ever brought in for a specific piece of work, we’ll tell you upfront, not after the invoice.

Yes — we regularly work alongside in-house teams rather than replacing them, particularly on architecture, security, and AI integration where handover and documentation matter more than headcount.

Centos Digital is UK-based, with delivery across the UK, Europe, the Gulf, and North America.
