- How the planning service works
- MMD Software Services help buyers plan how they will implement Integrated Electronic Surveillance (IES) cloud software services by providing suitably qualified and equipped business analysts, solution designers and security architects. Our uniquely experienced consultants have experience of working across this domain, managing the specific challenges to adoption of cloud services, particularly given unique security constraints. We ensure departmental policies for the adoption of Defence cloud services are considered as part of service planning, including compliance with appropriate Joint Service Publications. The user's requirements, concept for use and environment in which the services will need to exist are independently assessed against options for cloud technology. Formal plans are produced to document cloud options and to manage risks from cloud service adoption or migration.
