Planning
- Planning service
- Yes
- How the planning service works
-
We provide consultancy services which will help clients understand the requirements, the risks , the implicit change or transformation needed for a successful cloud service as well as core project management services to help scope the delivery of the selected cloud application or service.
We use a range of standard approaches which can use various different methodologies such as Agile or PRINCE2,and we can tailor the planning / implementation approach based on the client’s needs.
For example, one method which we use is a hybrid (agile and “waterfall”) approach built on experience of many deployments. After delivery of the Envisioning Phase, evolution of the Proof of Concept, Detailed Design and Development will utilise an Agile Design approach. Our approach will be adapted to fit with buyer’s methods where appropriate.
A key output from the Envisioning Phase will include a Roadmap that identifies the anticipated solution Releases and a Release Plan detailing the proposed number, duration and areas of focus of the design sprints required to support the next Release(s). - Planning service works with specific services

MIGSO-PCUBED can provide full consultancy services to help buyers to implement and migrate to or between cloud hosting or software services, to enable better delivery / management of project, programmes, portfolios and business change / transformation.

• Data analysis and preparation
• Data Migration
• Change Management driven by a “cloud culture”
• Process changes

As always we have a series of delivery kits and approaches defined for each of these areas and will work with our customers to create a pragmatic and effective approach for their specific requirements. - Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services

Quality assurance and performance testing
- Quality assurance and performance testing service
- Yes
- How the quality assurance and performance testing works
-
MIGSO-PCUBED can provide a Quality Assurance (QA) service as part of this overall solution. We will use one of our process SMEs to review the deployed processes, assess them for compliance with best practice, ensure there is consistency between all processes and alignment to the customer objectives and recommend changes and next steps.
Our approach to assurance is to:
1. Determine objectively the current level of confidence (e.g. risk exposure)
2. Identify practical steps to eliminate or mitigate the risks and improve overall quality assurance
3. Drive the implementation of those steps and measure improving assurance levels
Our Assurance Methodology has four simple stages, applied in a way that takes account of the specific topic being assured, its context and its requirements:
1) Discover
2) Diagnose
3) Plan
4) Implement
We have specific assurance approaches for projects, programmes and data i.e. quality, management and literacy.

Fighting climate change
MIGSO-PCUBED understands the importance of the Nation fighting climate change, and we have incorporated the guidance within CCS PPN 06/20 in our work. We have an active Deliver Green Together Community of Purpose (DGT CoP). Their scope includes ensuring our business is keeping pace with the sustainability agenda both internally by reducing our impact on the environment, and externally by assisting in sustainable projects and influencing client's sustainability considerations.
MIGSO-PCUBED services and products are focused on building, maintaining, extending and ensuring the success of cloud-based solutions. These solutions, when deployed successfully, provide the support and collaboration required for successful project delivery to be undertaken remotely. This implicitly reduces the need for face-to-face meetings and reduces individual and organisational carbon footprints. The availability of digital reporting, the enhanced user interfaces also reduces, ideally to zero, the need for any paper reporting.Covid-19 recovery
MIGSO-PCUBED understands the importance of the Nation recovering from Covid-19, and we have incorporated the guidance within CCS PPN 06/20 in our work. However, since 2022 we have subsumed this theme into the four other themes.Tackling economic inequality
MIGSO-PCUBED understands the importance of the Nation tackling economic inequality, and we have incorporated the guidance within CCS PPN 06/20 in our work. We have an active Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Community of Purpose (EDI CoP) with a number of related Affinity groups that contribute to our work in this area. Examples include our MPower Apprentice Programme and the opening of our Hubs in Birmingham and Manchester.
MIGSO-PCUBED services and products are focused on building, maintaining, extending and ensuring the success of cloud-based solutions. These solutions, when deployed successfully, increase the ability of everyone associated with the delivery of a project to work from any location, and potentially in any time-zone. This flexibility allows the users of any solution to be located anywhere with minimal cost to participate, removing a barrier to users needing to be based in areas of high economic wealth or for individual users to require a significant level of investment before they can be included.Equal opportunity
MIGSO-PCUBED understands the importance of the Nation having equal opportunities, and we have incorporated the guidance within CCS PPN 06/20 in our work. We have an active Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Community of Purpose (EDI CoP) with a number of related Affinity groups that contribute to our work in this area. We strive to shape and nurture a culture where everyone is valued; where inclusiveness is a reflex, not an initiative and where EDI underpins our values and everything we do. Internal initiative examples include launching a reverse mentoring scheme and we are in our fifth year of supporting the 30% Club.
MIGSO-PCUBED services and products are focused on building, maintaining, extending and ensuring the success of cloud-based solutions. These solutions, when deployed successfully, have no weighting that favours or disadvantages any sector of possible users. There is no discrimination of or restrictive element which could apply to anyone regardless of age, gender, sexuality or religion.Wellbeing
MIGSO-PCUBED understands the importance of the Nation being a healthy nation and we have incorporated the guidance within CCS PPN 06/20 in our work. We have an active Wellbeing Community of Purpose (CoP). We want to bring wellbeing to the top of everyone's agenda and contribute to a culture that prioritises the support of our people, encouraging them to nurture their own and others’ health. Over 140 UK consultants have attended a mental health awareness course and we have over 10 mental health First-Aiders.
MIGSO-PCUBED services and products are focused on building, maintaining, extending and ensuring the success of cloud-based solutions. These solutions, when deployed successfully, increase the ability of everyone associated with the delivery of a project to work flexibly in terms of both hours and location. This provides the ability for everyone to adapt their working style to fit closer to their ideal work-life balance which contributes to an individual’s wellbeing.
