The following are examples of our advisory packages for our customers:

Cloud Strategy & Awareness Workshop
A half day workshop aimed at the management discussing the most important elements of cloud benefits, strategy and business case.
Cloud Strategy
Want to define your cloud strategy beyond “Cloud first”? A good way to get started is our 6 week cloud strategy approach built around understanding your current situation, target state and then building the plan for moving forward.
Cloud Operating Model Design
A Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) and a well stated operating model around cloud are crucial for realizing the benefits of public cloud. However, all organisations are different and a standard model will not work for everyone.
To ensure you get the benefits, we’ve decided to standardise the design process instead and adopted a sprint based approach for as-is analysis and designing the needed capabilities for your CCoE.
