ACMECONSULTINGFounded in 1990A cloud migration raises questions about system dependencies, costs and who will operate the solution afterwards. ACME helps you find cloud architects, platform engineers and migration specialists. We match consultants to new environments and improvements to existing solutions, taking account of security, budgets and your organisation’s ability to manage the technology.
The choice of infrastructure, platform or software services affects how much you manage yourselves. The consultant compares options against information, integration and availability requirements. Customer responsibilities for use, permissions and configuration are distinguished from the provider’s commitments.
Start with application dependencies and decide what to move, adapt or replace. Data transfer, testing, parallel operation and rollback are planned together. An initial limited step provides experience before more systems are moved.
Identity, access and environment structure need to work across teams. Version-controlled configuration and automation make environments easier to recreate. Logs and alerts are linked to services and owners so operations teams can troubleshoot and make changes.
Track costs by service or team and compare them with usage. Review sizing, storage and operating hours alongside recovery and data-loss requirements. Redundancy and multiple cloud providers can offer benefits while adding complexity and management work.
We agree the scope and deliverables with you.
A recommendation on service choices, responsibilities and priorities, with cost assumptions and the questions that need testing.
A phased plan for testing, data migration and rollback. Responsibilities, approvals and the receiving operations team are identified before transition.
Practices for cost, capacity, access and recovery. Documentation and knowledge transfer help the team operate and improve the environment.
The choice depends on system needs, information management, dependencies and economics. A review can identify suitable candidates and components needing another approach. Compare migration effort, skills and long-term maintenance as well as the initial cost estimate.
That depends on the service model and agreement. The customer still makes decisions about use, information and access. Clarify configuration, follow-up, incidents and recovery so that responsibilities do not fall between your organisation and the cloud provider.
Different needs may justify several providers, but they also add skills requirements, integration and operational complexity. Start with the outcome and dependencies you want to manage. Consider whether the benefits justify the additional work involved.
