Cloud readiness assessment
An honest look at which workloads should move, which should be re-architected first, and which should stay where they are. Includes a cost model you can take to finance.
Services
Cloud, with the cost question answered up front
Strategy, migration, SaaS engineering and day-two operations – planned so the invoice in month six is one you expected.
Most cloud disappointment traces back to the same two things: workloads were lifted without being re-sized, and nobody owned cost after go-live. We deal with both in the plan, not in the post-mortem.
What we deliver
Strategy and landing zone
Target architecture, account and network structure, identity, tagging, guardrails and the operating model that goes with it – before the first workload lands.
Migration and transformation
Execution in waves, with rollback plans, cutover runbooks and validation. Re-sizing as part of the move rather than a cleanup project afterwards.
SaaS engineering
Building and re-engineering products for multi-tenant delivery – tenancy, metering, entitlement, self-service onboarding and the security model underneath.
Managed cloud operations
24/7 monitoring, incident response, patching, backup and recovery, and a monthly report covering availability, incidents and spend.
Cost engineering
Rightsizing, commitment planning, storage lifecycle and the tagging discipline that makes cost attributable to a team rather than a mystery.
Day two is where the money is
The migration is a project with an end date. Running the estate is not. We would rather spend an extra fortnight on guardrails, tagging and cost ownership during the migration than spend a year afterwards trying to work out who spun up what.
A typical cloud engagement
- 01
Assess
Inventory, dependency mapping and a workload-by-workload disposition. Ends with a costed options paper.
- 02
Foundation
Landing zone, identity, network, security baseline and monitoring. Built once, properly, before scale makes changes expensive.
- 03
Migrate in waves
Lowest-risk wave first to prove the runbook. Each wave includes rightsizing, validation and a documented rollback.
- 04
Operate
Managed operations against agreed SLAs, with cost and availability reported monthly and reviewed quarterly.
Planning a move, or already there and unhappy?
Both are worth a conversation. The second one is more common than firms admit.
