Services

Our services.Eight ways we move you forward.

Engaged individually or as a programme, and cloud agnostic throughout. Most clients start with an assessment and expand once the shape of the work is clear.

01 · Discovery

On-premises and cloud discovery and assessment

Before anything is designed or moved, you need an honest picture of what you actually have. We inventory both estates, the racks in the server room and whatever has already grown in the cloud, then work out what deserves investment and what should quietly be retired.

  • Application, server, database and licence inventory
  • Dependency and integration mapping across both estates
  • Disposition analysis: rehost, replatform, refactor, retire or retain
  • Current cost baseline and total cost of ownership modelling
  • Risk, end-of-support and compliance gap review
  • A written report with prioritised findings and a costed plan

02 · Design

Cloud architecture and design

Before the building comes the drawing. We produce target architectures that survive contact with reality: sized to your actual load, priced before you commit, and expressed as code so that what was agreed is what gets built.

  • Target architecture and reference patterns your teams can reuse
  • Well-architected review across reliability, security and cost
  • Resilience, disaster recovery and recovery objective modelling
  • Designs expressed as reusable infrastructure-as-code modules
  • Architecture decision records with the trade-offs written down
  • Vendor comparison where a genuine choice still exists

03 · Foundation

Cloud foundation implementation

The layer everything else sits on, built for whichever cloud you are on. Account structure, networking, identity and guardrails are decided once and applied consistently, so the tenth team to onboard inherits the same secure baseline as the first.

  • Landing zone design on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
  • Account and subscription structure with automated vending
  • Network topology, private connectivity and DNS
  • Centralised identity, single sign-on and least-privilege roles
  • Built entirely in Terraform and delivered through CI/CD pipelines
  • Logging, monitoring, backup and tagging standards from day one

04 · Migration

Cloud migration

Moving workloads is the part where surprises get expensive, so we move in waves and prove each pattern on something small first. Every cutover is scripted and rehearsed, and every one of them has a tested way back.

  • Migration waves sequenced by dependency and business risk
  • Pilot migration to prove the pattern before anything scales
  • Automated, repeatable cutovers with a rehearsed rollback path
  • Data migration and replication with integrity verification
  • Replatforming and containerisation where it genuinely pays off
  • Post-migration validation, tuning and decommissioning of the old estate

05 · Security

Cloud security

Security that engineers adopt rather than route around. We start from identity and blast radius, then add detection that surfaces real signals, and evidence your auditors will accept without a scramble.

  • Posture assessment against recognised benchmarks
  • Identity redesign, least privilege and permission boundaries
  • Zero-trust network and workload segmentation
  • Encryption, key management and secrets handling
  • Policy as code, so guardrails are enforced rather than audited later
  • Threat detection, incident runbooks and compliance evidence

06 · Cost

FinOps

Cloud spend grows quietly until somebody asks about it. We make it visible, then bring it down: consolidating duplicated resources, rightsizing what is oversized, and putting the guardrails in place so the savings actually hold.

  • Cost visibility, tagging and showback reporting
  • Resource consolidation and removal of duplication
  • Rightsizing and idle resource cleanup
  • Commitment planning: reserved capacity and savings plans
  • Storage lifecycle and data transfer optimisation
  • Budgets, anomaly alerting and ongoing cost governance

07 · Data

Data platform design and implementation

A data estate people actually trust. We design the ingestion, storage and modelling layers, then implement them as version-controlled code with testing and lineage built in, so a number in a report can be traced back to its source in seconds rather than days.

  • Lakehouse and warehouse architecture
  • Batch and streaming pipelines, defined as code and peer reviewed
  • Orchestration, automated testing and end-to-end lineage
  • Dimensional modelling and semantic layers
  • Governed, well-described data ready for analytics and AI workloads
  • Access control and handling of personal data

08 · Workplace

Modern workplace

The everyday tools your people actually live in. We consolidate scattered collaboration platforms, tighten identity and device management, and make the daily setup something IT can support without a queue at the service desk.

  • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace design and deployment
  • Identity, single sign-on and conditional access
  • Device management and endpoint compliance
  • Collaboration, intranet and file share consolidation
  • Email security, backup and retention
  • Migration away from legacy on-premises platforms

Common to all of them

Everything is built as code

Whichever service you engage us for, the way the work is delivered does not change.

Infrastructure as code

Nothing is clicked together in a console and forgotten. Environments are defined in Terraform, kept in your repositories, and can be rebuilt from scratch by whoever inherits them.

Reviewed and automated

Changes go through pull requests and automated pipelines, with tests and policy checks running before anything reaches production. No undocumented change made late on a Friday.

Observable and documented

Monitoring, alerting and runbooks are part of the build rather than a later phase, so your team can see what is happening and knows what to do when it stops happening.

Engagement

Three ways to start

Assessment

One to three weeks, fixed price. A written review of your current state with prioritised findings, a target design and a costed plan. Yours to keep whether or not we do the work.

Project delivery

A defined outcome with an agreed scope, milestones and price. We build it in your accounts, review with your team as we go, and hand over documentation at the end.

Embedded support

Working alongside your own people for an agreed period. Suited to longer modernisation work where knowledge transfer matters as much as throughput.

Not sure which one you need?

When we open, that is exactly the conversation to start with. We are getting set up now, and enquiries follow shortly.
