What Is Cloud Advisory?

A plan before a platform.

Cloud advisory is the strategic work before and during cloud adoption: assessing applications and infrastructure, choosing platforms, building the business case and setting up the governance that keeps cloud usage aligned with the business as it grows.

  • Assessment-led — decisions grounded in your actual estate, not assumptions.
  • Costed — every recommendation arrives with effort, cost and risk.
  • Governed — a cloud operating model, not a one-off project.
  • Vendor-neutral — the right platform for the workload — including staying put.
