Our reference architecture and accelerators leveraged from multiple Global Cloud implementations enable us to define the best approach for given workloads for the client and establish roadmap and migration plan deliver through an Agile process that minimises risk to the organisation.; ; A cloud governance model is an important part of the cloud strategy to reduce the risk and improve the time-to-market of new cloud based business services.

From discovery we are able to build a map of the target services required from the chosen Cloud platforms. Our 6R filtering process will drive the approach for migration to to the target.; ; Following Discovery we establish a foundation design and setup to organize networking common components and distinct and secure workloads. This applies the security and engineering best practices of the organisation to their platform on the Cloud.; ; For the migration of workloads we cluster workloads according to Cloud affinity and application dependency. These workgroups are; migrated using our migration tools in a factory process and handed over iteratively to our Cloud operations or the Client operations service.
