Cloud Strategy
Map your path before you build it.
Cloud strategy is where expensive mistakes are either avoided or locked in. We assess your workloads, operating model, compliance requirements, and growth plans, then turn that into a practical roadmap covering landing zones, provider fit, governance, migration sequencing, and modernization priorities.

Struggling with these cloud strategy and architecture gaps?
Most cloud initiatives stall not because of technology — but because the strategy was never defined clearly enough to execute on.

These are not edge cases — they are the default state for most teams without a clear cloud strategy. Getting the foundation right first saves months of rework and cost later.

What's covered
Every strategy engagement covers these areas.
Not all of these will be in scope for every engagement — we scope to what your situation needs.
01
Turn the engineering rationale for cloud into something leadership can act on — cost models, risk exposure, estimated ROI, and a delivery sequence that replaces internal conviction with a document they can actually approve.
Cloud Strategy & Business Case
02
Survey every application, team, and integration point before any migration sequence is committed — because programmes that skip this step spend their first three sprints correcting assumptions rather than moving workloads.
Readiness Assessment & Gap Analysis
03
Set the account model, network baseline, identity design, and shared platform services before the first workload touches the cloud — so the landing zone is already operational rather than still being figured out ten deployments in.
Target Architecture & Landing Zone Design
04
Put tagging taxonomy, cost ownership, policy guardrails, and team accountability in place as delivery foundations — not as remediation tasks that appear in the final sprint when the programme is already running behind.
Governance & Operating Model Setup
05
Build IAM boundaries, blast radius controls, encryption standards, and resilience patterns into the original design — retrofitting all of this into a live environment is slower, costlier, and riskier than just doing it right from the start.
Security & Resilience Architecture
06
Embed compute sizing decisions, commitment strategy, data transfer costs, and anomaly detection into architecture choices from day one — so the first invoice confirms the model instead of surprising the team.
Cost Architecture & FinOps Strategy
07
Assign each workload a migration pattern — rehost, re-platform, refactor, or retire — with a documented rationale for each call, then sequence delivery in an order that keeps production running while the transformation plays out.
Modernization & Workload Transformation
08
Benchmark live cloud environments against reliability, security, cost, and performance criteria to produce an improvement backlog ordered by actual business impact — not the severity scores that tool dashboards apply without understanding your context.
Architecture Review & Optimisation
How we work
Six phases that turn cloud ambition into a working architecture
Phase 1 of 6
-
Before any architecture decision is made, we get the full picture. That means inventorying every application, mapping infrastructure dependencies, reviewing team ownership structures, and surfacing compliance constraints that would otherwise create blockers mid-programme.
Deliverables: Application portfolio register, infrastructure topology map, team ownership matrix, compliance constraints log, initial risk register
-
With real data from discovery, we design the environment your workloads actually need — not a default template. This covers cloud account structure, network topology, identity and access boundaries, and the shared services layer. Every decision is traceable to a specific workload requirement.
Deliverables: Target architecture document, account and VPC topology, IAM design, provider selection rationale with cost comparison
-
We define the cloud foundation before anything migrates. That means accounts, guardrails, centralised logging, tagging taxonomy, and cost allocation boundaries all in place before the first workload arrives. You should never be retrofitting governance after go-live.
Deliverables: Landing zone specification, policy-as-code guardrails, tagging and cost framework, environment onboarding runbook
-
Each workload gets a migration strategy: rehost, re-platform, refactor, or retire. We sequence waves to minimise blast radius and maintain production uptime — prioritising quick wins that build internal confidence while protecting the systems your business depends on.
Deliverables: Workload classification register, wave-by-wave migration plan with timelines, rollback and contingency procedures
-
High-risk assumptions get a targeted proof-of-concept before full execution begins. Security posture is reviewed against the target architecture. Cost models are reconciled against real provider pricing. Only when assumptions are confirmed do we commit the full delivery schedule.
Deliverables: PoC findings report, security posture review, validated cost model, performance baseline against SLO targets
-
The engagement closes with a 12-month delivery roadmap, team-level ownership assignments, and a FinOps operating model for day-two operations. We document every architecture decision taken during the programme so your team has the full reasoning — not just the output.
Deliverables: 12-month delivery roadmap with owners, FinOps operating model, architecture decision log, handoff workshop
Most cloud projects fail before a single workload moves.
We change that.
Bad sequencing, missing governance, and no cost model turn ambitious cloud programmes into expensive fire drills. We give you the architecture, the roadmap, and the controls — so your team executes with confidence instead of improvising under pressure.

FAQs
Questions we usually get
What comes out of a cloud strategy engagement?
You get a concrete architecture recommendation, migration sequencing, risk register, cost model, and a delivery roadmap your team can execute.
Do you help choose between AWS, Azure, and GCP?
Yes. We compare providers against your workloads, compliance needs, team skills, and cost profile instead of pushing a default answer.
Can this be done before we commit to a migration?
That is usually the right time to do it. Strategy work is meant to reduce expensive mistakes before build or migration begins.
How long does the strategy phase usually take?
Most engagements run a few weeks, depending on the number of workloads, stakeholders, and depth of architecture validation required.
Will our internal team be involved?
Yes. We run working sessions with engineering and leadership so the final plan reflects operational reality and has buy-in.
Can you continue into implementation after the roadmap?
Yes. We can stay involved for migration, platform engineering, or phased execution after the strategy and roadmap are signed off.
