Cloud Strategy Consulting: Decide What Moves, and What Stays
A cloud strategy is a set of decisions, not a slide of logos: which workloads move, to which provider, in what order, at what run cost, and which stay put.
What Each Phase Hands Over
- 01
Current-State Assessment
Inventory of workloads, dependencies, costs and skills. Produces a scored workload register.
- 02
Options & Business Case
Provider, model and sequencing options, each with its TCO. Produces a business case your finance team can audit.
- 03
Target Architecture & Roadmap
Landing zone, governance and migration waves. Produces a phased roadmap with a named owner for each decision.
- 04
Decision Support
Workshops that take the roadmap through approval and into execution, with us or with another partner.
the trade-off
The Right Answer Is Sometimes Not Yet
Strategy work too often ends in a roadmap that assumes everything moves. Licensing terms, data gravity, egress fees and skills gaps can make staying, moving less or moving later the better call.
We score every workload on business value, technical fit and run cost, and write down the assumptions behind the numbers. Where we would also bid for the migration itself, we say so, so you can weigh the advice accordingly.
What a Cloud Strategy Should Contain
Cloud Readiness Assessment
Infrastructure, applications, dependencies and skills mapped as they are today.
Workload Scoring & Prioritisation
Each workload scored for value, fit and risk: move, modernise, keep or retire.
TCO & Business Case
Run-cost models with their assumptions written down, egress and dual running included.
Provider & Deployment Model
AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, hybrid or multi-cloud, with the cost of complexity counted.
Security & Governance Roadmap
Landing zone, identity, tagging and policy decided before any workload lands.
Operating Model & Skills Plan
Who runs what afterwards, and the skills your team will need to fund.
Let’s work out what should move, and what shouldn’t, before anyone commits budget.
Tell us what you run today, what is breaking, and what a fixed version looks like. The more specific the problem, the more specific our answer.
