Cloud Advisory

Cloud Consulting

Cloud done well lowers cost and raises agility. Cloud done carelessly does the opposite. We advise on strategy, architecture, cost and governance so your move to and use of cloud delivers the benefits it promises.

Guidance on cloud strategy, architecture, cost and governance so organizations adopt cloud in a way that is secure, efficient and sustainable.

The business challenge

Many organizations adopt cloud faster than they govern it. Resources sprawl, costs climb unexpectedly and security settings vary from team to team, which erodes the savings and agility that justified the move.

Cloud strategy is also frequently reduced to a single provider choice. Without architecture, cost discipline and operating practices to match, the platform becomes an expensive version of the old data center.

Our approach

We define a cloud strategy fit for your workloads, covering which to move, how to run them and what good looks like for cost and security. The platform becomes a means to outcomes, not an end in itself.

We put guardrails in place early: architecture standards, cost controls and governance that keep the environment efficient and secure as teams build within it.

Capabilities

  • Cloud strategy and workload placement guidance
  • Cloud architecture and landing zone design
  • Cost management and optimization practices
  • Cloud security posture and governance
  • Operating model for cloud teams
  • Vendor neutral guidance across leading cloud platforms

Frequently asked questions

Do you recommend a single cloud provider?

We advise based on your workloads and goals across leading platforms, rather than defaulting to one provider.

How do you control cloud cost?

We put cost management practices and guardrails in place early, so efficiency is built in rather than chased later.

Is this different from cloud migration?

Yes. Consulting sets strategy, architecture and governance; migration executes the move. We offer both.

Can you improve a cloud setup we already have?

Yes. We assess an existing estate and improve its cost, security and architecture.
