While many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have started their cloud journey, relying solely on a simple "lift-and-shift" approach often fails to deliver maximum ROI. True cloud transformation involves advanced strategies like application refactoring and optimizing cloud-native services.
Re-platforming vs. Re-architecting
We guide SMEs on whether to simply re-platform (move to the cloud with minimal changes) or fully re-architect (redesign the application to take full advantage of services like serverless functions and managed databases). The latter offers greater long-term scalability and cost efficiency but requires more upfront investment.
Cost Management and Governance
Cloud costs can spiral out of control without proper governance. We implement FinOps best practices, utilizing tools to monitor resource utilization, manage reserved instances, and ensure developers adhere to budget guidelines, guaranteeing predictable operational expenditure.
Security and Compliance
Data residency and privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, local regulations) must be built into the cloud architecture from day one. We ensure that data is encrypted, access controls are tight, and disaster recovery plans are automated and tested regularly.
