Cloud strategy & landing zones
Target operating model, subscription and account structure, network topology, identity, policy guardrails and baseline security — the foundation that keeps a growing estate from turning into sprawl.
Services
Cloud Solutions
Strategy, landing zones, migration, modernisation and managed operations across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud — built so that the platform stays secure, observable and affordable long after the migration project closes.
Capabilities
What our cloud practice covers
Cloud computing provides a highly elastic environment that delivers on-demand infrastructure over the internet — networks, servers, storage, applications and services that can be deployed quickly, with cost efficiency and minimal management effort. Getting that promise in practice takes deliberate engineering.
Migration & modernisation
Application and data migration using IaaS, PaaS and SaaS models — rehost where speed matters, refactor where the running cost or agility justifies it, and retire what nobody uses.
Containers & Kubernetes
Container platforms on AKS, EKS or GKE with ingress, autoscaling, secrets management, image scanning and progressive delivery — plus the runbooks your team needs to operate them.
DevOps & platform automation
Infrastructure as code with Terraform or Bicep, CI/CD pipelines, environment promotion, automated testing gates and repeatable provisioning — so releases are routine rather than events.
Cloud security & compliance
Identity and access design, network segmentation, key and secret management, encryption, posture management and audit logging — aligned to the controls your customers and regulators expect.
FinOps & cost optimisation
Tagging and showback, rightsizing, commitment planning, storage lifecycle policies and anomaly alerts — turning an unpredictable monthly bill into a number your finance team can forecast.
Why it matters
Cloud is changing how applications are designed, tested and deployed
Cost is a major driver, but so are agility, flexibility and the speed at which new applications can be deployed. That shift changes application development priorities — and it rewards teams who build the platform properly the first time.
- Elastic capacity so you pay for what you use and scale for demand rather than for the annual peak.
- Faster delivery through managed services and automation instead of provisioning tickets.
- Higher availability using multi-zone design, managed backup and tested recovery procedures.
- Stronger security posture from centralised identity, policy enforcement and continuous configuration monitoring.
- Transparent economics where every workload has an owner, a tag and a budget.
Platforms
Where we build
Microsoft Azure
App Service, Azure Functions, AKS, Azure SQL, Data Factory, Synapse, Entra ID, Bicep and Azure DevOps — a natural fit for the .NET and SQL Server estates we have supported since 2014.
Amazon Web Services
EC2, ECS and EKS, Lambda, RDS and Aurora, S3, Glue, Step Functions, IAM and CloudFormation or Terraform for repeatable infrastructure.
Google Cloud
GKE, Cloud Run, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Dataflow and Vertex AI — particularly where analytics and machine learning workloads lead the architecture.
Hybrid & private
Not everything belongs in a public region. We design hybrid estates where data residency, latency or existing investment makes that the right answer.
Multi-cloud
Portable patterns based on containers, open standards and infrastructure as code, so a second provider is a decision rather than a rewrite.
Managed operations
24×7 monitoring, patching, incident response and capacity planning, with locally available managers who work closely with our clients in the USA.
Disaster recovery
Recovery objectives agreed with the business, implemented with replication and backup, and proven with regular restore tests.
Start with an assessment, not a big-bang migration
Our cloud assessment services are designed to weigh cloud benefits against your organisation’s actual requirements, so the transition happens in a quick and methodical way.
