• Planning service works with specific services: No

Training

• Training service provided: Yes
• How the training service works: No matter the client or project, increasing the skills and knowledge of the client personnel we work with is something that comes as part of any of our engagements. The nature and extent of this varies according to individual circumstances, needs and aspirations, but we always strive to enhance our clients own capabilities as a result of our work through development of a bespoke knowledge transfer plan, informal coaching sessions and shadowing opportunities. We can also conduct training needs analysis, and design and deliver formal training programmes, both directly and by ‘train the trainer’.

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: We help buyers migrate to the cloud or between cloud services by working closely with them to define an appropriate migration strategy, developing a detailed migration plan in collaboration with cloud services provider(s), and ensuring all parties work in collaboration to execute and verify the migration. We ensure that the migration approach minimises the risk of business or service disruption, and that it represents the most cost-effective solution. As part of supporting the procurement of cloud-based services, we ensure that clients have clear exit plans including developing an understanding of how they will be able to migrate between relevant services and service providers, and with appropriate commercial and contractual arrangements to facilitate this.

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
