Stage 1

Prerequisites.

Our experts will assess your existing IT infrastructure during an on-site visit. After analysing your business processes, we will then work with you to discuss your business needs and identify actual IT requirements.

Stage 2

Blueprint.

We assess your needs and outline the overall design using our Cloud Radar
We assess TCO and licensing requirements
We advise on future-proof architectures
We create an IT Blueprint detailing your future cloud solution in context

Stage 3

Definition.

Once we have completed all analyses and developed an overall concept, our experts will lay down the necessary service parameters and get down to designing your future cloud architecture.

Stage 4

Roadmap.

A thorough plan is essential to ensure your migration will happen in a secure and efficient way. Our experts will develop a detailed roadmap—so we don’t miss a turn.

Stage 5

Implementation.

Finally, with all the details agreed on, we’ll get down to business and implement your new cloud solution. While it's taking shape, you can be sure that we'll keep a close eye on everything that’s happening to give you complete peace of mind.

The right way into the cloud.

Starting out with a sound cloud strategy is essential. However, equal care must be taken to minimise disruptions and downtime during implementation to keep your business running smoothly.

We make sure your migration roadmap is in sync with your ongoing business to ensure a smooth transition to the cloud, while the implementation itself is subject to thorough project governance using the PRINCE2 project management method. In addition to providing proactive risk and change management, this ensures your project will be consistently monitored all the way through to the pilot phase, before finally going live. This goes hand-in-hand with training users and raising awareness. Before cloud implementation can even begin, all questions must be answered and all business goals defined. Only then is it time to take the first step.

Step by step into the cloud.

1. Convert and migrate data

2. Test and optimise

3. Train and monitor

1. Convert and migrate data

As part of the cloud-implementation process, data is migrated to your new IT infrastructure. In this context, it is essential to have a look at your legacy data and determine whether this should also be taken along or whether archiving it will do.

2. Test and optimise

Once your data is available in the new system, the infrastructure must be tested and optimised to ensure everything works as intended.

3. Train and monitor

When everything is done and dusted, it’s time to train your employees. It may be necessary to provide additional on-demand support during this period. And as you begin using your cloud infrastructure, it’s recommended you monitor it to ensure that your business processes continue to function smoothly in the long term, even under various workloads.
