Our advisors are our practitioners: The same experts who chart your long-term plans are the ones who implement them, enabling seamless handoff and reducing transformation risks from strategy to execution to continuous improvement.

• Cloud Readiness
  

Every cloud strategy must begin with a clear, well-documented understanding of your current state.

A cloud readiness assessment—the starting point for your cloud journey—determines how, when and what you move into the cloud. 

• Foundational Standards Definitions

Organizational, operating and architectural standards—including those for security, data management, modernization, service level agreements (SLAs), compliance and more—are critical to ensuring consistency across tools and technologies as well as reducing support costs.

By defining the right operating standards, you’ll accelerate your transition to cloud services, empower day-two operations and enable your team to focus on innovation.

• Application Portfolio Review

An independent review of your application portfolio will help you refine and validate your cloud strategy and roadmap.

These additional insights can help you to prioritize workloads when  modernizing and migrating to the cloud so they happen seamlessly and without disruption to your business operations.

• Cloud Center of Excellence (CCOE) Development

A Cloud Center of Excellence concentrates expertise and decision-making in your organization, accelerating your journey to the cloud.

A mature CCOE will support your governance framework and policies, enable provider selection, identify workload placement, help your organizations reskill, adopt an effective cloud security posture, improve regulatory compliance and provide solution architectures that minimize risks and maximize investments.

• Cloud Governance

Cloud is a long-term investment, requiring overarching prescriptive policies, standards, oversight and management reporting.

A robust governance function ensures that the efficient execution of your strategy stays on track, that your strategy adapts and matures over time, that exceptions are escalated in a timely fashion and that management is continuously informed of the status of each cloud project. 

Our engineering experts architect, implement and deploy future-ready cloud solutions with a practical, hands-on approach, ensuring that you realize maximum value.

• Modernization & Migration

To get the most from your solutions in a cloud environment, you’ll need to determine the best option for your applications and data: be it refactoring and modernizing on-premises, migration to the cloud or transformation to a cloud native environment.

Careful “dispositioning” of your application portfolio will result in an efficient, cost-effective, and well-managed enterprise IT architecture.

• Cloud Infrastructure

Your cloud estate needs to be deployed on strong, secure and automated foundations of computer networking, storage, security and identity, otherwise everything will fall apart. Codifying your environment using infrastructure-as-code (IaC) makes your deployments faster, more secure and more predictable.

Well-implemented cloud infrastructure ensures that your solutions can scale, are protected against attacks and are resilient.

• Cloud Data & Analytics

Information is your organization’s most valued asset, and the cloud enables you to make the most of all your data.

To bring innovations to market faster, to gain new insights and to capitalize on emerging trends, you must select the best cloud storage foundation, migrate your data to the cloud, and apply cloud-based analytics and AI services.

• Cloud Native Application Development

Every business must become an agile, innovative software development business. To fully leverage the cloud and your enterprise data, you must adopt cloud native architectures such as serverless; new coding, testing, deployment and operations tools; and new data management methodologies.

Cloud native applications give you solutions that can be upgraded, tested and deployed more frequently, giving your business new levels of agility, efficiency and speed. 

Every business is different, so we create customized environments for your specific needs. That way, your systems are always ready and responsive to your—and your customers’—needs.

• Integrate
  To gain the benefits of managed operations, you’ll need to automate previously manual processes such as software quality testing, release validation, provisioning, and deployment and integrating them with cloud-based tools.
• Observe
  By using the instrumentation, alerting and reporting built into cloud applications, dedicated, 24x7 experts help you get the most from your cloud investment. While they monitor your cloud ecosystem, you can focus on what matters: how your business is running, what resonates with your customers, how the market is evolving—not your day-to-day cloud operations.
• Respond 
  Incidents happen and you need to be informed at all stages. Your business needs immediate response to triage and properly respond to incidents or threats. Utilizing the right suite of integrated tools, real-time security management, a state-of-the-art security operations center (SOC) and automated diagnostics ensures minimal disruption to your business operations.
• Optimize
  Continuous improvement and full transparency are critical—solutions shouldn’t operate in a vacuum. As your solutions experience more traffic, you will need to automate scaling them up and down. With streamlined IT processes, any issues will be reported immediately and addressed.
