- Brightsolid's Cloud Readiness service helps organisations understand how ready they are to host services on cloud. By understanding the steps that are required before a successful implementation, organisations are better equipped to successfully plan their implementation. We start exactly where the customer is today, and work in collaboration with their organisation to understand the technical, operational, compliance and organisational components of a plan. We grew up in the cloud, and it shows, our teams have 25 years experience in managing IT environments and 15 years experience in managing successful cloud implementations across a wide range of public sector environments.
