Cloud Technology Systems Assessment Services

Service Overview

The cloud is a very exciting, and seemingly never-ending space in modern computing environments. It is often regarded as omnipresent, and endlessly capable, with new services, offerings, and capabilities evolving on an almost daily basis. While some organizations have leapt into the cloud, others have been far more reluctant. The Cloud Technology Systems Assessment is a service that may be leveraged before, during, or at any time after, a cloud migration, to gauge your organization’s direction, or planned direction, against accepted standards, compliance frameworks, and peers.  

Service Steps

• Gather information and documentation about the cloud services and solutions planned or in use
• Perform scans and other discovery steps to analyze the environment 
• Conduct interviews with key stakeholders and IT professionals within the organization 
• Conduct research and perform peer bench marking to validate and compare findings against the provided and collected information 
• Share findings with the key stakeholders and IT professionals and form remediation steps and multi-year strategic technology-based plans 
• Deliver formal summaries and detailed reports to client

Outcome

Given the various ways the Cloud Technology Systems Assessment may be leveraged, the outcomes will vary. Some examples may include:

• Step by step plans and licensing modeling for a complete migration from an on-premise storage, email, or hosting platform to a cloud-centric option, complete with estimated labor efforts, costs, and time frames. 
• Thorough evaluation of existing cloud-based hosting platforms and services with a focus on security, service, and cost optimization. 
• A finite evaluation of specific service or offering settings, logs, or other performance metrics to help diagnose and provide solutions for issues with discreet cloud-based systems and issues. 

Many organizations have moved to the cloud, and struggle to realize the value, safety, performance optimization that makes cloud solutions popular. The Cloud Technology Systems Assessment is intentionally designed to be flexible in order to provide clients a path to the answers they need, while keeping an eye towards maximizing value.
