What we do
Through a series of focused workshops and lightweight evidence gathering, we will:
Map your current state (platforms, landing zones, networks, identity, security controls, operations, tooling, workload inventory)
Identify pain points & constraints (cost drivers, technical debt, reliability issues, governance gaps, compliance/sovereignty needs, skills/operating model issues)
Clarify business outcomes (speed-to-market, resilience, cost optimisation/FinOps, risk reduction, compliance, vendor/lock-in reduction)
Assess maturity across governance, architecture, operations, security, and FinOps
Define options for improvement (including “keep/optimise”, “modernise”, and “standardise with a platform approach” where appropriate)
Typical workshop set (tailored to your needs)
Business outcomes & stakeholder priorities
Cloud/hybrid architecture & networking
Identity, access, security & compliance
Operations & service management (Day 0–2)
FinOps, cost allocation, and optimisation levers
Workload portfolio + migration/modernisation approach
Deliverables you’ll receive
Current state summary (what you have, what’s working, what’s not)
Key findings & root-cause analysis (risk, cost, performance, resilience, governance)
Maturity scorecard (with clear improvement recommendations)
Prioritised backlog of actions (quick wins + strategic initiatives)
90-day plan + 12–18 month roadmap (phased, realistic, outcome-led)
High-level reference architecture direction (including security/identity/network guardrails)
Tooling recommendations (where relevant, including policy-driven governance, automation, self-service, and cost controls)
Who this is for
Organisations that want clarity before investing—whether you’re:
Struggling with cloud cost growth and unclear accountability
Facing governance/compliance or data sovereignty pressure
Planning a platform standardisation effort
Reducing vendor risk / building a multi-hypervisor strategy
Preparing for a cloud migration, cloud exit, or operating model change
Timeline
Most assessments complete in 2–4 weeks (depending on availability of stakeholders and complexity).
What you need to provide
Access to key stakeholders for workshops
Existing high-level diagrams or documentation (if available)
Optional: read-only access to cloud billing/export reports and security posture summaries (helpful, not mandatory)
Indicative investment (choose a package)
1) Essentials Assessment (Lightweight) — from £4,500
2–3 workshops + rapid findings pack + 30/60/90-day actions
2) Standard Assessment (Recommended) — from £9,500
4–6 workshops + maturity scorecard + prioritised roadmap + executive readout
3) Deep Dive Assessment (Complex / Regulated) — from £18,000
6–10 workshops + deeper evidence gathering + reference architecture direction + detailed delivery plan
Final pricing depends on scope (number of clouds/environments, stakeholder groups, compliance requirements, and depth of analysis).
Outcome you can expect
By the end, you’ll have a clear, defensible plan: what to fix first, what to standardise, what to automate, how to control cost, and the delivery path to reach your target outcomes.
If you want, I can also write the short “website card” version (50–80 words) and a pricing table layout to match your site design.
