Problem
We are not sure what should move and what should not.
We are worried about cost and lock-in.
We have no cloud guardrails.
Outcomes
- A clear, costed cloud plan
- Guardrails before migration
- Confidence in the direction
Scope
In scope
- Readiness assessment
- Target operating model for cloud
- Landing zone and cost model
Not included
- The migration itself, which sits under cloud migration and modernisation
- Application rebuilds, which sit under engineering
FinOps and cloud optimisation
Once workloads are in the cloud, costs need an owner. We set up cost visibility by team and service, find waste such as idle or oversized resources, and put a regular review in place so spend stays in line with value.
- Cost allocation and tagging so every pound has an owner.
- Rightsizing, scheduling and reserved-capacity recommendations.
- Monthly cost reviews and budget alerts.
Approach
Discovery
We agree the workloads, constraints and operational targets, and how success will be judged.
Delivery planning
We sequence the work and set out costs, risks, controls and a rollback position.
Build and test
We build in the open, test against real workloads, and prove each change before cutover.
Operational readiness, hypercare and closure
We hand over runbooks, support the first weeks, and confirm the outcome before we close.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you favour one cloud provider?
No. We choose per workload against your constraints and record why, and we do not claim provider partnerships.
What do we get at the end?
A costed, workload-level plan and the guardrails to start safely.
