We Manage the Server. You Run Sequoia.
Farbyte manages the hosting environment, Windows server and underlying infrastructure. Your organisation remains responsible for using and administering the Sequoia application itself, unless separate application support arrangements are in place.
This gives you a clear division of responsibility: we look after the server; you look after your customs operation.
