How the planning service works
Our planning approach is data-driven, ensuring alignment from technology strategy to user needs and business goals. Starting with a comprehensive assessment of the current landscape, we define clear target states and the steps necessary to reach them. We map risks, dependencies and progression pathways.

We work closely with our clients from the early stages of development, ensuring involvement at every critical milestone. Our process is adaptable to both agile and waterfall methodologies, allowing us to tailor our strategy to best suit client requirements. Our teams are small, multidisciplinary, and built for high performance, with experienced experts leading the planning process to prioritise tasks, manage risks, and maintain quality.

We support a broad spectrum of planning activities, from determining the most appropriate cloud services—Infrastructure, Platform, and Software as a Service—to estimating usage patterns and evaluating product suitability for cloud migration. Our capability lies in planning and delivering on complex projects through effective, efficient solutions that drive business growth and technology transformation.

How the setup or migration service works
Our setup and migration process is tailored to meet the unique requirements of each client, ensuring a seamless transition to new technologies and platforms. Initially, we conduct a thorough analysis of your current business needs and technology landscape. This involves mapping existing architectures and systems to clearly understand the 'as-is' and 'to-be' scenarios, identifying essential services and opportunities for consolidation or replacement.

Our team works closely with yours to align the future state of your IT environment with your strategic business objectives. Examining system components and services, and processes, we focus on gains and sustainability. This strategic alignment is crucial for mitigating risks and enhancing operational efficiency during and after the migration.

Throughout the migration phase, we compare against a well-defined baseline, ensuring performance meets or exceeds previous levels. Our approach not only focuses on technology but also embraces necessary changes in process and culture, such as adopting DevOps practices and agile methodologies, to fully leverage cloud capabilities.
