Cloud adoption needs to account for application dependencies, resilience, access, operating skills and cost. We help define the programme and coordinate specialist execution around the client’s service requirements.
What we do
- Assess workloads, dependencies, platform constraints and migration readiness.
- Prioritise migration waves and evaluate rehosting, replatforming or redesign options.
- Define landing-zone, identity, networking, security and backup requirements with specialist teams.
- Plan cutover, rollback, testing and acceptance around business-service continuity.
- Establish observability, alert ownership, service runbooks and support escalation.
- Assess recovery requirements and coordinate backup and disaster-recovery validation.
- Improve cost allocation, usage visibility and resource optimisation through cloud-cost governance.
Typical deliverables
Workload inventory and assessment; target architecture; migration roadmap; cutover and rollback plans; monitoring requirements; recovery plan; operating runbooks and cost dashboard.
Industry illustration
A logistics enterprise has unpredictable application demand and limited visibility into infrastructure costs. An engagement could assess a selected application estate, define its resilience needs and stage the migration. After transition, cost allocation and capacity reviews would show which workloads require optimisation and which need additional resilience.
How success is assessed
Migration acceptance, service availability, tested recovery against agreed objectives, incident handling, utilisation and cost per relevant workload or business transaction. Savings are assessed alongside performance and resilience requirements.
Delivery model
Specialist architects and engineers execute the agreed technical scope. Managed operations require defined coverage, service levels, access rights and escalation responsibilities. Software licences, cloud consumption and third-party subscriptions are identified in the commercial model.
A practical first engagement
A migration-readiness or cloud-operations assessment for a defined set of workloads, with prioritised actions and cost assumptions.
Industry illustrations describe possible assignments, rather than completed Averanta engagements or guaranteed results.
