Our Approach
Our proven three-step approach yields a successful Public Cloud Adoption Strategy, typically over a two-week period:
Our Process
Current Environment Assessment
The initial Kickstart steps evaluate your company’s current environment and workloads and gauges your technical maturity across nine categories (automation, performance, facilities, network, cost, security, governance, planning, and operations) as it applies to applications, infrastructure, data centers, and existing public cloud accounts. Next, we run automated data collection to analyze your dependencies, gauge your readiness for migration, and detect and measure the impact to any affected applications. This data is compiled into the Environment Assessment Report.
Requirements Gathering
In the next steps, our Cloud Architects interview key business and technical stakeholders to determine the priorities and requirements that must be met by the public cloud adoption effort. Technical workshops determine your core public cloud requirements, including platform features, security and monitoring, and operations and automation; while business workshops discuss business drivers and initiatives, governance, compliance, and resources and training. The findings from these sessions are documented in a Public Cloud Maturity Matrix and help determine the direction of the Public Cloud Strategy Roadmap.
Strategy Roadmap & Recommendations
Based on our Kickstart findings, the Public Cloud Strategy Roadmap aligns with your business requirements and defines a plan for future-state. Further, the Strategy Roadmap prioritizes recommended actions, maps out dependencies, and assigns actors to facilitate the development of your high-level project plan and ensure completion of recommended goals. These actions are grouped into projects and a recommended timeline is provided for critical items. Lastly, each Roadmap item is flagged and categorized as “Required,” “Short/Mid/Long-Term” or “Future.”
