Cloud and Data Architecture
We help organizations design cloud architectures that endure change. Cloud success isn’t about provisioning accounts or setting up landing zones. It’s about making architectural decisions that scale, support growth, and adapt to real-world complexity.
Don’t just “lift and shift”. We help you evaluate whether to rehost, replatform, or rearchitect, and support your teams in executing the best approach for long-term success.
Beyond design: We stay involved through delivery - resolving edge cases, cost-performance tradeoffs, and evolving needs. Architecture isn’t static, and neither is our support.

1 Cloud-Native Architecture Sprint
Duration: 4–8 weeks
Target: Organizations planning or initiating a transition to cloud-native, distributed architectures.
Includes:
- Vision and KPI definition through focused workshops with business and technical leadership.
- High-level and detailed architecture design for microservices, SaaS, and multi-tenant systems.
- Platform and tool selection (AWS, Azure, GCP) aligned with organizational needs.
- Architecture documentation including compute, storage, networking, identity, and CI/CD.
- Recommendations for security, scalability, and observability from day one.
Deliverables:
- Vision document and KPI framework.
- High-level and detailed architecture diagrams.
- Interface specifications and data models.
- Technology selection rationale and readiness plan.
- Transition steps.
2 Cloud Architecture Partnership
Duration: 3–12 months (flexible engagement)
Target: Organizations implementing, scaling, or evolving a cloud-native architecture.
Includes:
- Ongoing architectural guidance during development and deployment.
- Resolution of unforeseen challenges: performance bottlenecks, cost optimization, missing tools, integration issues.
- Iterative design adjustments based on real-world constraints.
- Governance frameworks to ensure architecture consistency as the system evolves.
- Mentoring development teams to ensure correct implementation of design principles.
Deliverables:
- Updated architecture and design documentation reflecting real-world adaptations.
- Issue resolution logs and action plans.
- Monthly or milestone-based cost/performance review reports.
- Governance templates, best-practice checklists, and readiness assessments.
3 Targeted Cloud Migration Assessment & Execution
Duration: 4–8 weeks for assessment and planning; optional ongoing implementation support.
Target: Organizations with a specific on-premises or legacy system that needs to move to the cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
Includes:
- Discovery & Business Context - capture requirements, dependencies, and constraints.
- Technical Assessment - map architecture, integrations, and identify blockers for migration.
- Migration Strategy Decision - compare rehost, replatform, and rearchitect options with scoring.
- Cloud Readiness Planning - choose cloud services, define migration steps, produce cost estimates.
- Optional Implementation Support - hands-on help with migration execution and post-go-live tuning.
Deliverables:
- Migration Assessment Report (current state, dependencies, constraints).
- Comparative Analysis of migration options with scored criteria.
- Recommended Migration Plan with phased milestones.
- Estimated cloud costs and operational impact.
- Optional post-migration performance and cost reviews.
