Cloud Computing
In basic terms, cloud computing is just technology services over the internet. But you’re aware that it isn’t that basic.
Cloud technology services include software, hardware, and development platforms. There are several cloud providers, and each has its own array of products and acronyms to go alongside them. It is complicated and confusing.
Regardless of all of the catchphrases, abbreviations, and techno-lingo, cloud computing is here to stay—and it’s growing by leaps and bounds. The advantages of cloud computing for businesses are many and include:
- Cost savings.
- Global expansion.
- Process acceleration.
- Security improvement.
- Faster innovation.

Your Pathway to Cloud Computing
Just like any project, you won’t reach your cloud computing goals overnight. Here are four helpful steps you can use to plan your pathway.
Learning about options
Planning a Strategic Framework
Migration to Cloud
Optimize for your unique needs
Step 1: Learning about options
Before you commit to moving to the cloud, we recommend learning about it, discussing your needs with us, and having us perform a cloud assessment. We will start to create your Strategic Framework, keeping your drivers in mind as you shift to cloud computing.
First, we will review your current situation, infrastructure, and software applications. Then we will make recommendations pertaining to how these items are or are not capable of helping your business grow and where cloud solutions can bring agility, modernization, and advancement.
Step 2: Planning a Strategic Framework
Our review will be divided into sections about your infrastructure, security, notifications, audits, governance, applications, development, and processes. We’ll discuss your current situation, industry standards, and best practices. We’ll also provide analysis and recommendations.
We’ll guide you on the five business strongholds of People, Governance, Platform, Security, and Operations. We’ll analyze each stronghold and determine where your company may need to refine its processes and organizational management and suggest how your cloud solution can accomplish these changes.
This will be your Strategic Framework, which you’ll use throughout your shift to the cloud. With a Strategic Framework, your cloud migration will be easier, you’ll meet your business goals faster, and you’ll be a step ahead of the game have already been through the process once (on paper).
Framework planning involves selecting a vendor. You will have learned about the various vendors on your own in Step 1, and we can review your findings and answer your questions. We may recommend one vendor over another, or even a multi-cloud solution, based on your budgetary and technological goals.
Step 3: Migration to Cloud
Once you have a Strategic Framework, we will investigate the logistics. What work will be done and why? Who will do the work? When will the work be done? Where will the work be done? What will the process be for accomplishing it?
Now it’s time to act. Our team of expert architects will put their certified skills to use in designing and implementing your custom cloud migration.
Step 4: Optimize for your unique needs
Once you’ve invested in your unique, cloud-based solution, you’re ready to optimize it. We can help optimize your:
