How It Works - Part I

Free Phone Consultation

A no-charge, thirty minute call to determine if the cloud is right for you and your business.

Two Hour Consultation

If you determine, after our phone call, that you want to get more information specific to your business' needs, I will meet with you and your IT staff by video, or in person if you're close, to gain a better understanding of your needs.

Cloud Readiness Assessment

Conduct a full evaluation of your current IT environment and readiness for cloud adoption. Assess the existing infrastructure, network, and applications. Identify any gaps or challenges that need to be addressed before migration, such as security concerns, data compliance issues, or technical limitations.

Strategy and Roadmap Development

Develop a tailored cloud strategy and roadmap for migration. Create a detailed plan that outlines the steps for migration, including timelines, resources, and milestones. Define the cloud architecture, select appropriate cloud services, and plan for data migration, integration, and testing.

How It Works - Part II

Proof of Concept (PoC)

Test and validate the proposed cloud solution on a smaller scale. Implement a PoC to demonstrate the feasibility of the cloud solution, address any concerns, and refine the migration strategy based on the results.

Cloud Migration

Execute the migration of applications, data, and infrastructure to the cloud. Perform the actual migration, which could be phased or a complete move. Monitor the process to ensure minimal disruption to business operations. Implement necessary integrations and validate that all systems are functioning correctly.

Optimization and Tuning

Optimize the cloud environment for performance, cost, and scalability. Fine-tune cloud resources, optimize workloads, implement cost management strategies, and ensure that the cloud environment is running efficiently. This may include resizing instances, adjusting storage options, or implementing automation.

Security and Compliance Validation

Ensure that the cloud environment meets all security and compliance requirements. Conduct security audits, implement necessary controls, and validate compliance with industry standards and regulations. Ensure that data protection, encryption, and access controls are in place.
