Cloud Strategy
Develop your ideal cloud adoption strategy that lowers costs, streamlines operations, and boost revenue in just two weeks.
Adopting the cloud is a great way to reduce operational costs, streamline operations, and boost revenue. But how do you choose the right cloud provider that aligns best to your business? Whether it’s Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud, Anexinet works alongside you to architect a public cloud solution that moves your business forward while avoiding the usual pitfalls by addressing all security, cost, and management issues. Our Cloud Strategy Kickstart focuses on understanding your business and technical requirements to develop your ideal public cloud adoption strategy—one that provides appropriate governance and security while ensuring workloads are precisely placed to drive success. We consider your organization’s unique needs, assess your ecosystem across nine criteria, and provide actionable recommendations to align your cloud environment with today’s best practices.

Our proven three-step approach yields a successful Public Cloud Adoption Strategy, typically over a two-week period:
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.
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.
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.”
