Cloud Strategy
Fuel your cloud ambitions with a comprehensive strategy
With organisations hungry to realise the benefits of cloud, a clear strategy provides the focus and aligns stakeholders with business priorities. Our cloud strategy service involves a number of workshops to provide a high-level strategy canvas for cloud adoption in your organisation. With a focus on aligning stakeholders, agreeing on priorities and benefit realisation, you have a clear picture of how cloud will enable your business, and map a path to cloud success that is unique to your organisation.
You could not hope for a more engaged partner. Not just the initial discovery piece of our current state of play, but also where the final destination should be on that journey and throughout the process. They didn’t just deal with us as a partner, they took all of our vendors on that journey. It is absolutely invaluable.

How We Do it

Business Readiness
To ensure you have a viable cloud strategy, we review how your people, process and culture need to support the shift in technology, as well as the business benefits you need to support your business case.

Working alongside your technical team, we get a snapshot of your IT environment, key applications and infrastructure. We work through a process to categorize these and understand them in the context of your cloud strategy.
