Cloud Advisory

Assess cloud cost and architecture options before committing to implementation.

Who this is for

Technology and finance leads evaluating cloud costs or architecture.

An advisory engagement should identify worthwhile decisions before committing to implementation or long-term support.

Review bills and workload patterns alongside reliability, security and team constraints. Compare options using total operating cost and an explicit validation plan; savings depend on the starting point and the changes made.

A delivery process to agree

  1. 01

    Review workload patterns, bills and business constraints.

  2. 02

    Compare capacity, commitments, migration and managed-service options.

  3. 03

    Estimate costs including engineering and ongoing operations.

  4. 04

    Agree which changes to validate before funding implementation.

AI can assist suitable drafting, exploration or repetitive work. The agreed process must retain engineering review, meaningful validation and a responsible release owner. Tool and data permissions are agreed before using project material.

Questions to resolve before starting

  • Which costs and workloads are included in the baseline?
  • Which reliability constraints must be preserved?
  • Who will implement and validate the chosen changes?

If requirements are still uncertain, start with discovery and scoping.

Discuss a focused software engagement

Tell us the problem, users and constraints. We can discuss whether discovery, a first release or a system improvement is the right next step.
