Are You Looking To Take Your Business to The Cloud?
Are you an engineering leader looking to accelerate your cloud journey? A Cloud Readiness Assessment is the first step to understanding your organisation's current state of cloud readiness, identifying any potential challenges or obstacles, and developing a strategy to migrate to the cloud and reap the benefits.
CLOUD READINESS ASSESSMENT BENEFITS
Rocket Your Business Into The Cloudverse Of Possibilities
By identifying any potential challenges or obstacles early on, you can develop a plan to address them before they cause any problems.
A Cloud Readiness Assessment will help you develop a comprehensive migration plan, so you can start reaping the benefits of the cloud sooner.
Cloud computing is highly scalable, meaning that you can easily add or remove resources as needed. This can be especially beneficial for businesses with fluctuating workloads or seasonal demand.
By developing a clear understanding of your organisation's cloud needs, you can make sure you're choosing the right cloud platform and services for your business.
OUR CLOUD READINESS ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Ready For Lift-Off?
We start by assembling a team of cloud architects, security engineers, data analysts and engineers, project managers, and engineering leaders to develop a plan for the assessment. The plan will include the scope of the assessment, the timeline, and the budget.
Next, the team will collect data about your business's current infrastructure, applications, data, security posture, and business goals. This data can be collected by reviewing your existing architecture, source code, and documentation, and having collaborative sessions with key stakeholders in your company. By the end of this phase, the team will have a good understanding of your current landscape, objectives, and pain points.
The team will then assess the collected data to identify any potential challenges or obstacles to cloud migration. The assessment will also identify any opportunities to improve your business's efficiency, agility, and profitability by migrating to the cloud. Based on this information, we will map out a strategy for your cloud migration.
The next step is to generate a report that summarises the findings of the assessment, including recommendations for addressing any identified challenges or obstacles. The report will also outline a migration strategy, along with any risks and observations.
Finally, the team will present the strategy and report back to all key stakeholders in a collaborative planning session. This phase is critical to aligning the strategy between all stakeholders and getting the final buy-in.
The duration of a Cloud Readiness Assessment is dependent on the size of your technology estate. Typically, a Cloud Readiness Assessment can span from 1 month to 3 months.
We'll assess your current infrastructure to identify any potential compatibility issues with cloud platforms.
We'll assess your applications to identify any that need to be refactored or rewritten for the cloud.
We'll assess your data to identify any potential compliance or security risks.
We'll assess your security posture and recommend any necessary changes to protect your data and applications in the cloud.
