Cloud consultancy and support

Decide well, build it right, then run it economically. Vendor-neutral advice across Azure, AWS and Oracle Cloud from consultants certified on all three — at $150 per hour or under a managed plan.

Before, during and after

Cloud decisions are cheaper to get right than to undo

Most cloud regret traces back to a decision made early without enough information — the wrong landing zone, an identity model that will not scale, a bill nobody forecast. This is the work that prevents it.

Strategy first

Cloud strategy & roadmap

Where cloud helps your business and where it does not, sequenced into a roadmap with the dependencies and risks identified before budget is committed.

Cut the bill

Cost modelling & FinOps

What it will actually cost to migrate, run and operate — modelled up front, then reduced afterwards. Our FinOps practice exists to bring the monthly bill down.

Built to grow

Architecture & landing zone

A secured landing zone designed for your workloads and compliance obligations, so the first thing you deploy is not also the first thing you have to rebuild.

Zero Trust

Identity & security by design

Identity platform planning and integration, IAM and RBAC, Key Vault and secrets management, WAF and Zero Trust design — decided at the start, not retrofitted.

Terraform · CI/CD

DevOps & automation

CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code with Terraform and Ansible, and monitoring — so environments are reproducible rather than hand-built and undocumented.

24/7 available

Ongoing cloud support

Round-the-clock monitoring, troubleshooting and optimisation once you are live, at $150 per hour or under a managed plan.

Platforms

Vendor-neutral, because we hold credentials across all three

We are not incentivised to land you on one platform. The recommendation follows your workloads, your licensing position and your team.

Microsoft Azure

  • Landing zone & governance
  • Entra ID & identity
  • Azure SQL & Managed Instance
  • App Services & Functions
  • Microsoft Sentinel

Amazon Web Services

  • Landing zone & control tower
  • IAM & security groups
  • RDS & database services
  • Application modernisation

Oracle Cloud (OCI)

  • OCI solution design
  • Autonomous Database
  • Cloud-native deployment
  • Reduce TCO on Oracle estates
Where most engagements start

Cloud readiness assessment

A short, fixed-scope engagement that tells you what moving would involve, what it would cost and what would break. It is the cheapest way to de-risk everything that follows.

  • Develop a cloud strategy and define the roadmap
  • Discover and analyse your existing workloads
  • Cost comparison and optimisation modelling
  • Identify the risks and the dependencies that bite during cutover
  • Design the landing zone and the identity platform
  • Prioritise workloads into migration waves
  • Implement proof of concepts where the risk warrants proving it first
On every engagement

How we deliver

No single point of failure

Two specialists, minimum

At least two consultants on every project, so nothing stalls because one person is on leave.

Reviewed at each stage

Peer-reviewed

A peer review at each stage means a second senior engineer checks the work before it reaches your environment.

Design, build, operate

Documented

Comprehensive design, build and operational documents, so your team can run what we hand over.

Weekly cadence

Weekly reporting

Weekly project reporting and billing on time-and-materials work — no surprises at invoice time.

FinOps

Cost optimisation

Our FinOps practice reviews the bill after go-live and reduces it, rather than leaving it to grow quietly.

Pay on delivery

Milestone-based

Flexible, cost-effective, milestone-based projects that let you manage budget against delivered outcomes.

That is a fine place to start. Book a free call with a cloud architect — if the honest answer is that your workload should stay where it is, we will tell you.

FAQ

Common questions

Advisory and support is $150 per hour with a four-hour minimum, GST exclusive. Defined-scope work such as a readiness assessment or landing zone build is quoted as a fixed price with milestone payments, and ongoing management is available under a monthly plan.

That depends on your workloads, your existing licensing position and your team’s skills — not on which platform we prefer. Our consultants hold certifications across Microsoft Azure, AWS and Oracle Cloud, so the recommendation follows the evidence rather than a partner incentive.

A short fixed-price engagement that discovers and analyses your workloads, models the cost to migrate and run, identifies risks and dependencies, designs the landing zone and identity platform, and prioritises workloads into migration waves. You get a written assessment with no obligation to proceed.

Yes — that is what our FinOps practice does. Cost comparison and optimisation covers rightsizing, reserved capacity, storage tiering and removing orphaned resources. On Oracle estates, migrating to EDB Postgres can also remove significant licence cost.

Yes. Cloud infrastructure and cloud application support are available at $150 per hour, covering monitoring, troubleshooting, patching and optimisation, or as part of a monthly managed IT plan. Pre-booking guarantees consultant availability.

A landing zone is the secured, governed foundation — networking, identity, policy and guardrails — that workloads land on. Getting it wrong is expensive to correct later, because everything deployed afterwards inherits its assumptions about security and scale.

Yes. Most engagements are collaborative — we design and deliver alongside your people and hand over documentation, so the knowledge stays in your business rather than leaving with us.
