- How the planning service works
- Cloud commits are a big part of making large scale cloud migrations possible, as well as continued cloud usage remaining affordable. At Synyega we have an experienced team with years or cloud commit negotiating experience, that can help model the expected cloud footprint to support in effective commit negotiation and getting the right deal that unlocks more cloud innovation. To support this further, expertise in software allows Synyega to review the software assets and work out potential commit risk mitigations via software marketplace purchases.
