Cloud Advisory, Consulting & Risk Management
Cloud Kickstart (Phase 1)
Initiate and create your path forward by establishing your cloud vision, strategies and priorities which are guided and aligned to the Business. Feel confident in your cloud trajectory by making the right decisions on cloud provider, platform mix (private, hybrid, public, cloud native), migration approach, security, culture, resourcing, budget, and more.
Cloud Secure (Phase 2)
Protecting your Cloud is significant and a strategic priority. Devise clear, documented Cloud Security directives, policies and key performance indicators (KPIs). As you build and implement your Cloud, do so with enterprise-class cloud security guidelines, frameworks and best practices. The best cloud providers, like AWS, have excellent documentation available. For more information about AWS Cloud Security click HERE
Cloud Go (Phase 3)
As you move your applications, services and workloads to the cloud you will experience the ease, flexibility and power the cloud brings to your business. But, this is also a time where many organizations make costly missteps in regards to their cloud modernization, cloud migration and adoption strategies, processes and procedures. It may be helpful to consider the 6 R’s (from AWS) Re-host, Re-platform, Re-factor/Re-architect, Re-purchase, Retire and Retain. Take the time to create the right plan for your organization. Remember, migrating the right way will set your organization up for success and allow ever increasing repeatability, predictability and time-to-value.
Make Cloud Better (Phase 4)
Optimize, optimize, optimize. Once your Cloud is up and running, it is important to consistently measure and monitor performance, capacity and costs so that you can run better. Leveraging your cloud platform management tools, execute comprehensive workload reviews to understand consistency with your original plan, and what changes are needed to accommodate the day-to-day realities. Also, look for resource waste and adjust immediately. Most importantly, analyze your reporting to balance performance to capacity to costs. Based upon real information, investigate pricing programs and look for ways to make your budget go further.
