How the planning service works
Working with our Client, our SMEs analyse existing structures, processes and systems to identify their requirements and a proposed approach to transitioning the appropriate technologies to a new Cloud solution. Alignment to the overall business strategy and user needs are also considered.

The comprehensive Programme Plan covering all timings, deliverables and benefits. Dependencies between key deliverables and workstreams are understood and mapped; and a service transition plan is included to ensure an integrated approach controlled and seamless migration. Training and knowledge transfer requirements are also addressed.

How the setup or migration service works
We offer a comprehensive end-to-end service, tailored to individual Client needs, that supports the structured and seamless migration of Software, Infrastructure and Platform services into the full range of cloud infrastructures; or from one Cloud services provider to another.

The required deliverables and business outcomes are clearly defined and scoped at the beginning of the engagement. These inform the development of the Programme Plan that covers current and future state designs; a comprehensive gap analysis; and a detailed roadmap for the transition which includes effective business change readiness provision and procurement options, and knowledge transfer.

We employ robust implementation methodologies throughout and can offer a range of additional services as part of the process including legacy systems de-commissioning, business change, security and risk analysis, data migration and testing.
