Public Cloud is instantly accessible, consumption based Operational Expenditure, and a modern, agile IT platform that bodes well for the future. Are there ways to save money on the costs?
Cloud Services
Our mission is to guide clients successfully and securely through their cloud adoption journey. We do this in three ways:
We simplify technology and increase business agility by removing the shackles of legacy systems.
We deliver simple and appropriately sized solutions for our customers needs.
We drive adoption of cloud innovations and deliver business value.
Our services
Cloud Runway
We ensure your cloud adoption journey is a success, building strategies, roadmaps and delivery plans to get value from Cloud.

Assess
We carry out a Cloud maturity review versus peers and market. Identifying gaps in current capability and readiness for cloud. The assessment findings include current maturity status and recommended target capability.
Strategy
Creation of an appropriate Cloud Strategy including target capability & organisation, business case and cost of ownership. We will deliver a roadmap for cloud adoption and a suggested scorecard for value measurement.
Landing Zones
Setup Cloud Landing Zone according to well architected principles. The Landing Zone includes logging, monitoring and an initial security baseline enabling application migration, modernization, and innovation at enterprise-scale.
Best Practices
Cloud cost review identifies savings opportunities and a roadmap to achieve cost reductions. Security and Architecture reviews identify opportunities for optimisation such as improved scalability, more effective use of resources and improved security.

Cloud Migrate
We migrate business critical systems and entire data centres to the Cloud, helping our customers to reduce cost, gain agility and flexibility
Assess
We carry out a migration assessment identifying the migration scope and systems. Creation of a TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) model and high level migration approach. We use discovery tools to carry out the assessment for example Cloudamize.
Pilot
Pilot allows us to run short proof of concepts with selected pilot applications to prove that the high level approach is feasible. It also allows us to provide input into the mobilise phase and detailed planning.
Mobilise
Readying the organisation for Cloud migration, implementation of required capabilities and tooling. Mobilise includes formation of the migration factory and finalisation of the migration candidates and plan.
Migrate
Migration includes initial build/replication of systems, data migration, testing and cutover preparation. The cutover itself and post migration support for a defined period of time before handover to operations.
Cloud Ops
We’ll manage your cloud infrastructure and support ongoing innovation in the Cloud. Choose from a managed service or a dedicated Cloud Ops team.
Assess
We carry out an assessment of Cloud Ops capability and readiness, identifying gaps, risks and issues in the current model. The assessment findings include current status, gaps and recommended remediation.
Remediate
Implement quick wins identified in the assessment. Improve Cloud Ops capabilities including telemetry solutions. We troubleshoot operational issues and work with the customer to identify and implement appropriate solutions.
Transition
During discovery we identify gaps or risks and design a knowledge transfer approach. Knowledge transfer includes a review of code, assets and documentation. We manage the cutover to ensure as frictionless an experience as possible.
Operate
We offer a managed service or a dedicated Cloud Ops team, managing public cloud infrastructure and DevOps solutions. Our Cloud Ops service is suited to customers evolving their use of cloud and looking for a partner to help innovate and move at pace.
Cloud Rocket

Assess
We carry out a DevOps maturity review versus peers and the market. Identifying gaps in current capability, organisation and culture. The assessment findings include current maturity status and recommended target capability.
Strategy
Creation of an appropriate DevOps Strategy including target capability & organisation, business case and cost of ownership. The strategy includes technology, people, process and culture. We will deliver a roadmap for DevOps adoption and a suggested scorecard for value measurement.
Pilot
We carry out short proof of concepts with selected pilot applications to prove the DevOps solution. The pilot allows experimentation, iteration and improvement to increase the speed and effectiveness of a full roll out.
Adoption
Implementation of the desired state either within shared services or product teams depending on the customer operating model. The adoption projects include change in culture, process, organisation and technology in order to realise real business value.
