Platform Architecture Reviews

Use our extensive cloud knowledge to review your infrastructure against industry best practice using tools such as the AWS Well-Architected Framework. This is a complimentary service where we review your platform deployment and configuration, discuss your requirements, and then report on our observations. The report will discuss platform issues in terms of business risk and opportunities and provide recommended actions with no obligation. Recommendations may include:

• Opportunities to reduce your monthly bills, potentially paying for themselves quickly
• Security improvements that will safeguard your service, your reputation, and your customers' data
• Operational enhancements to make your platform easier and cheaper to look after
• Changes to make your platform more resilient, avoiding costly interruptions to your business

Cloud Migration

We have experience moving applications from traditional on-premise or co-located infrastructure to the cloud. Benefits of migration include:

• Flexibility, allowing you to adapt to new customer requirements more quickly
• No physical infrastructure to manage simplifies your IT operations
• More efficient use of compute resources; your products can scale quickly without wasting money on unused capacity
• Greater resilience
• Cost savings from taking advantage of cloud native services

We can also help modernise your applications, refactoring them to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by the cloud. Running virtual machines in the cloud is a simple way of migrating and is often a sensible first step, but does not take full advantage of the scaling, flexibility, and cost savings of cloud-native, serverless platforms.

Data Processing

We can help you unlock the power of your data to improve decision-making and the services provided to your customers. We have experience capturing, processing, analysing, managing, and moving large volumes of data and can support:

• One-off analyses
• Building data processing pipelines
• Data as a Service: making what you need available when you need it

With all the excitement around artificial intelligence, it is easy to forget the need for a foundation of effective data management.

Cost Optimisation

Getting the most from your cloud platform requires expertise. We will review your environment and make recommendations that, if implemented, can quickly pay for themselves. Improvements can include simple right-sizing, removing unused and potentially costly resources, enabling or reconfiguring autoscaling, and ensuring the most appropriate compute is used for your workload.

Start-Up: Enabling Your Ideas

Are you a founder who needs access to technologists to get your idea off the ground? Our skills are both broad and deep, having been developed over many years in the industry. We apply these skills with a keen eye on value, keeping your solutions as lean as possible whilst still meeting your customers' needs. Technology compromises are inevitable in the early stages; we use our experience to avoid "gold plating" where it is not needed, and to highlight and address risks that might not be evident otherwise.
