VE3 utilizes the Cloud Steps methodology, a structured, "factory-based" process framework designed to assist clients in migrating their application workloads to the cloud. This framework addresses the complexities of application transformation for hybrid cloud environments, enabling faster adoption of cloud services and expedited delivery of business applications safely to the cloud. It offers the flexibility to integrate with existing client processes and ensures a smooth application transformation.
Our transformation services encompass the entire cloud journey. This includes assessing the current state for cloud migration suitability, defining a cloud transformation strategy and roadmap, conducting workload level discovery and analysis, managing cloud migration, ensuring compliance with regulatory and policy requirements, and providing steady state management of the cloud environment. This comprehensive management includes establishing a governance model complete with delivery and operational policies. - Planning service works with specific services

VE3 employs the Cloud Steps methodology, a structured "factory-based" process framework that facilitates client migration of application workloads to a cloud environment. This framework reduces the complexities associated with transforming applications for the Hybrid Cloud, enabling customers to hasten the adoption of cloud services and accelerate the safe delivery of business applications to the cloud. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with clients’ existing processes, ensuring a smooth transition of applications.
Our transformation services span the entire cloud journey, starting with an assessment of the current state to determine migration suitability, defining a cloud transformation strategy and roadmap, conducting workload-level discovery and analysis, executing cloud migration, validating compliance with regulatory and policy requirements, and managing the cloud environment in a steady state. This includes establishing a governance model with robust delivery and operational policies.
By utilizing our Cloud Steps Framework and defined migration paths for various elements, we empower customers to transition to the cloud or choose between cloud services, facilitating migration decisions based on the best total cost of ownership (TCO) options available. - Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services

- VE3 offers Cloud Hosting and Software Services using Platform as a Service (PaaS) models. We provide a fully developed platform stack with accompanying support services based on a consumption model, with pricing per unit within a Hybrid Cloud setup. This stack can be exclusively dedicated to a single customer or shared logically among multiple customers. Utilizing a mix of private and public cloud models, we deliver these platforms to our clients. Our approach also supports a "pay-for-consumption" model, allowing customers to pay based on the number of elements they use continually. Should the number of supported elements change, the pricing adjusts accordingly.
